[jbmom]

Tricia, are you at or above sea level at all? Living in the high country, its hard for me to picture.

Is there anything, I can do to help? I feel so useless being so far away.

I am now. We are an hour north of where we lived before. Our old house well actually all or most of the metro New Orleans area is not.


Judi just a little prayers will do. Thanks.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

I'm going to start getting all our important papers together. Thanks for chatting with me. Talk to ya'll later.

Afternoon, Chatty Sassies! You all have been busy!

Tricia - I'm praying for all of you. You are smart to make a list! I'm glad you have a safe place to go. I can't imagine having to worry about this three or four months a year - I just wouldn't make it. God bless you all!

Becca - I have never had to tell a parent their child wasn't ready for school yet, but after this morning that might change. Seriously, Open House was akin to Dante's Seventh Circle of Hell. Tiny room, 12 2 year olds, 24 worried parents. When they left to hear the Director talk, three of the little guys cried (no surprise, we actually thought more would!). But, after 45 minutes, they are still crying! Two of them were inconsolable, wouldn't let us touch them, hold them, just laid on the floor and cried. Not at all distractable. The other one cried for about 25 minutes and then began tantruming. He tantrumed for 20 minutes! He threw toys, kicked, bit me and threw himself into the wall. Amazing. When dad came back, I tried to explain that we might be better off transitioning him slowly, only an hour a day for the first couple of days, working up to 3 hours total. He told me that "he's been in daycare, he's fine there, I want him to come the whole three hours." We shall see!

Bonnie - Do you have your classroom ready yet or are you still procrastinating? There are a million details, aren't there? Do your kids start on Tuesday?

Angie - did your physical therapy help? I hope so! Project Runway is great - you should watch it! I keep forgetting you don't watch it Top Design I have only seen one season of, but I liked it.

Judi - that is so unfair about your job! I know it is a headache, but you should consult an attorney about it. They shouldn't get away with that.

Julie - I will try to find out what form the kids have to use. I always had to use APA in nursing school.

Heather - Yeah for Joey! Both of my boys had heart murmurs they out grew - don't sweat it.

Hi to anyone I missed! See you!

Sad DISer out there, if y'all could head up to the birthday board and wish creativeamanda a Happy Birthday, just might help

Thanks

 

[coles1mom]

Thank You Tricia

I so hate to see anyone sad. Bless You!

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Judi I hope your friend has a great birthday tomorrow. I just sent her a birthday greeting.

 

[coles1mom]

Tricia, you doing OK?

See above I believe we cross posted.
Can't say I know her, but got a PM about it. Sometimes you just need to to help out.

 

[jbmom]

I sent your buddy a birthday message too. Anything to brighten someones day.

3 more days then school starts, the boys can't wait. I can though!

 

[coles1mom]

Thanks

Summer flew by too quickly.

But HEY........You're going to Disney.

2nd try for this post.

 

[coles1mom]

Want I come down and work for you this weekend. I've got the time

 

[frndofpooh]

Judi, I want to help but am clueless - where is the birthday board? I found the Memorial board and the Wish board but the birthdays are eluding me! Help! Oh, and since you have time, would you like to hold three inconsolable children on your lap next Wednesday? We need more hands!

Tricia - the boys both added you and your family into their bedtime prayers tonight. BamBam told God that he should keep Gustav in heaven so it would leave you all alone. Hope it helps!

Mrs. FoP, you will find the birthday thread at the very top of the CB page.
BamBam"s prayer is just perfect. Children are so wonderful, aren't they.


Thanks for helping all. A wee bit of kindness, goes a long way!

Julie, what are you doing up so early? Tell Atlas good morning as well.

 

[MrsHerbie53]

Good morning Judi!

Atlas was ready for his cartoons at 6:15 this morning. I so wanted to go back to bed, but we have volleyball practice from 8-10 and I figured I'd feel worse if I fell back to sleep.

I am so sorry about your job situation. Hang in there.


Atlas says Good Morning too!!!!

Oh Wilma that made me cry. I'm just a messed up bundle of nerves right now. Please tell the boys Thank You. I really means a lot.

Ok the joy of unemployment

On the 19th of August, I recieved a call from a good friend. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time He got wind of what game they were going to play.

No hours, if they had to use me, 30% cut in pay, 3 strikes I'm out. You have to document 3 large errors to terminate someone's job. Mine Those errors would have been "found". "If she stays here, she's really going to have to kiss...." For the month of Aug., they would not call me in.

So, I took Mom to the oncologist, guess what days they were going to call me in? Can't work, I'm out. Yes, it was known Mom might get to start chemo in Oct. That is still looking by the way.

So, after filling Mom in and Mr. Judi, on that afternoon, I filed for unemployment, stating the truth, returned from an approved FML and there were no hours available. So, that put the issue on record with the state.

Needless to say, work was none to thrilled. Put me to work, I can't claim. They stated they were going to fight it, til it was explained to them, they can't. Heaven only knows how many times I've been in family court here, UIA is just another judge.

I called work Monday, yep the Aug 15th meeting they cancelled would be Thursday Aug. 28th at 10am. First, they ask about Mom, then yelled about the UIA paperwork. I explained the underemployment rule. Once again, thanked them for the leave of absence. "Well to be honest, you were only getting on call & a Sunday here and there". They then ask for my keys and said they would not fight the unemployment.

As I was leaving, I looked them in the eye, and one again thanked them for allowing me a LOA to care for my Mom. Mom's still fussing that it wasn't a leave, if you lost your job.

Angie, Wilma, you're right it's not legal. If they pay my 26 weeks of UIA, I'll more than likely not persure the issue. Word of mouth up here, does more damage than any court in my opinion. I don't much want to work for liars, in a hostile work environment. Still doesn't mean I won't check statute of limitations, just in case.

If a vet needs paperwork, they can just bring it to me here. Just cause I don't get paid, doesn't stop me from helping them.

The Lord has reason for all, and I just got $1460 in back child support yesterday.

No, I'm still not finding any humor in it, but Mom is still alive. And that is the greatest gift of all.

Hey Becca, can you send me an application, just tell your Dad not to hire me.

Good Morning Tricia
