Tuesday's ramblings...

It is Tuesday….nothing in particular to journal about really…but I just wanted to post for some reason lol…

An update on Pretty Chick and her Guitar Player husband….I called her and she said that they ran some tests on Guitar Player yesterday and there is no damage to his heart and no problems in his body really…the medicine that they gave him for the tests are making him very sick today though…he told Pretty Chick that he thought he had another stroke last night but I guess that today the doctors told them that it was the side effects of the medicine…things are sounding positive but they still need lots of prayers…I was asking if they needed their grass mowed or anything and she said her kids both love to mow the grass so they’re good right now but she would definitely not be “too proud” to ask for help if they need it…bless her heart…to make matters worse….Guitar Player’s grandmother is at the same hospital (I’m not sure what’s up with her) but so Guitar Player’s mother has been going back and forth from his room to her mother’s room…when it rains it pours!

Well…I guess we kinda need prayers too…husband got a call yesterday from the old company that he worked for and still does some contract work for. They offered him a job…they will match what he’s making now plus the old company has way better benefits (company van, expense account, more vacation and comp time) but over a year ago, he left the company, mostly because there was a royal jerk face who was his boss, which is gone now, but also there was so much traveling involved. Some of his old co-workers say that things are getting better since they finally got rid of the jerk face…but it’s still hard to know if it would be the right thing to go back. There are rumors at husband’s new company that there will not be much work and people will be laid off in the fall…. Although husband feels pretty secure at the new company because of all the business he brings the their way. He’s sort of like a bridge between his old company (huge company) and new company (small company) . UPS (UPS’s main headquarters is in the Ville) is fixing to expand which means more work for the old company, which will probably contract with the new company…blah blah blah…I’m sorry to be rambling…

The bottom line is…because of the perks, financially, the old company is the better choice…but he’s been sooooo much happier and home sooooo much more since he’s been at the new company…his blood pressure is down too…the dilemma is, was that all caused by the jerk face who is now gone or were there other issues (and there were definitely other issues) and are those other issues resolved now too…the other issues include because my husband is who he is…he could never say no when asked to go some where and other guys had no trouble saying no so Buford was the “go-to” guy ALL THE TIME.

So decisions decisions…it is such a blessing that he has options like this…it’s just hard to know which way to go. The other factor is, and I really hate to mention it to get people’s (sister’s) hopes up because it’s the slimmest of all the possibilities really….but the other factor is that the old company is looking to hire two people…one for work in Columbus OH area and one for in Evansville IN area…now we live no where near neither of those places but they want husband to come back so badly that they said they would make an exception for him…but one thing that husband might be interested in is the work in Columbus….if that happened, we could possibly be moving back to the town we lived in before we moved to Tucky….I always figured, and especially when we have a child I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the fact, that I’d rather raise my child close to relatives than not…I mean I know at this point that any kid I have is going to be the dorky little cousin that no one will play with until they are all in their twenties and it doesn’t matter anymore! Lol but still…as close as all us cousins are now…I want that for whatever child or children we bring into this world too ya know?

I don’t know…it’s a lot to think and pray about and look at me…lol…for starting out saying there wasn’t a lot to journal about, I sure did find a lot to say!

Ok so sister…can ya just take this as I’m thinking out loud and it’s nothing written in stone at all…it’s just one of the many ideas that husband and I have been talking out loud about…it’s a very fresh conversation….he only got the phone call yesterday…the part about us possibly moving is what I’m referring to…I don’t want to create any false hope like dad did with the whole retirement thing!!! Lol

Well..I need to go grab some lunch…

Love and prayers….
