Deja vu allover again.

It's looking like a pretty sure thing that I'll be laid off by next week. I won't be the only one, my whole office I guess. The signs were here but I was in denial til I heard from a pretty good source that I should expect it next Wednesday.

It's a very weird feeling. I am trying to focus on the good stuff that will come from this. There's good stuff I'm sure. Just give me time and I'll have a whole long list of good that comes from being shit-canned. I'll have some summer time off w/ the kids. I can take care of Jason for Tree. I can stop driving north of the Rappahannock. I can exercise, sleep normal hours, find a job that is closer to home, learn to live on $300 per week, pray the kids don't need medical attention, err wait...I'm steering negative. I'll revisit this later.

For right now though, I'm thinking that it's a real fuckin shame I'm not at home in bed because my energy is zapped from worry.

Steve's updated my resume for me and Kessie made it a pdf. She said pdf is the glamor shots of resumes and I believe it because my resume sparkles now. It looks like I know stuff. I think unemployment also pays for certification training too. I'll check into that when I'm "off". For right now, I'm just praying for a few month's severance.

Speaking of severance...at least I'm not a south korean with a severed head.

My folks have been gone almost a week. I got a call from Wade Hulon at church telling me that they arrived safely but I haven't heard a thing since. I am signed up to get a daily update about them but I haven't gotten a single thing. I am supposed to get a call from mom tomorrow. If I don't hear from her, I'm sending out the dogs. I really hate that I can't call mom everyday if I want.
I can't even tell mom that Charlie Bell's brain surgury went ok and that he's in recovery and the dr. patched the whole with chemo stuff and hopefully that'll help to keep the tumor from growing back again.

I've been looking for a place in Okracoke to take the kiddies for a long weekend. If I get laid off, we'll make that a week. I know it's insane to vacation whilst laid off but fuck it. Life's short. I'm going to be a cowgirl when I grow up.
