I took the Zyrtec and low and behold my symptoms became manageable and not nearly so bothersome. I don't think I needed the antibiotics at all.

But everything seems to be back to normal for me.

I will get some pics up of the new hair cut soon. Just need to remember to take some decent pictures. Took some myself today but I don't really like them so I hope to have Shea take some at some point.

And on another note, Shea got a new job. He'll be working at Trinity over in Gulfport, it's a longer drive so it's going to be an adjustment, but hopefully it'll be much better than over at Signal. It's also more hours, good on the pay check but hopefully not too hard on Shea. Two good things about this new job is it's inside and it's safer even if that just correlates to how high Shea has to climb up things. Insurance sucks, but we'll see. If Shea likes the company he might switch to Trinity (if their insurance is better) instead of the contractor he's currently with. So we'll see.

I have friends who tell me, well at least it's almost over since it started in June. It's just September and in the past two weeks there have been four tropical distrubances - One turned into Hurricane Danielle, which didn't threaten the US at all. Hurricane Earl which is looking to affect the East coast - my brother and sister-in-law will be be affected it looks like, Fiona looks like it's going to follow the first two, and now there is TD 9 is up on the list, that one is a wait and see for us it looks like.

So needless to say Hurricane season just got started. Lovely. Here's to hoping...

Kathleen should have some ear drops but CVS didn't have any and she's not overly complaining about the pain, if she does I'll just give her some Tylenol as that seemed to help.

I wasn't overly concerned about their cough, but I was concerned that Sammi was still sniffling, she's had this cold longer than I've had mine, and Kathleen's ear has been bothering her since Friday so I'm glad I took her in.

Hopefully the girlies will get better soon.

I have heard back from only one of the several applications I sent out thus far. All the others are still out there. I did manage to get find a number for one that I wanted to call. And I'll look into the others I have out as well. I am not sure what all I applied for now so I'll have to hope they sent me something in automated reply so I can follow up exactly lol.

I am still sick. My voice is thankfully better, but I have a lingering cough and sinus issues. I'll probably have this for a while, I almost always do. The girls are sick with something too probably the same thing I have, nasal issues and a cough. Kathleen was complaining about her ears hurting I hope that it doesn't require going to the doctor's office. Poor Kitten is having issues with her voice too.

Shea got the bugger too but he seems to be doing better. He went to the doctor and he got antibotics and a decongestant pill. Hopefully that'll fix him up nice and good lol.

Kathleen has school pictures on Sept 14th, she's suppose to wear fall attire, what the heck is fall attiire? I just hope I can pull something together for then. Right now most her clothes are spring/summerish. I'm sure I can make a dress fall by adding a shirt underneath, but I don't really have any fall type colors for her. Yellow maybe, but it's kinda dingy from two summers worth of kid dirt lol.

I'm having regular headaches again. I now know where most of them originate from, or at least I know what the left side headaches are from. I try not to take my migraine meds for them but alot of the time that's all that really works. Ice, heat, Flex All with a massage vibrator thing to push and poke at the injured areas. It helps as long as I keep doing it. Hot showers help. There is a lot that helps but there is nothing that can heal this, or make them go away completely. The best thing is the massage thing, but it's hard to do myself, and it's hard to tell Shea where it needs to be done to get the best benefit from. At least they aren't brain issues or anything like that. While they are annoying at least I have a cause for them in most cases. It's all the other times I am not always sure, but these ones on the left side when they reach down to my neck are all about scar tissue.

Kathleen had a stomach bug Friday night and Saturday morning. Sammi got sick Sunday, and now I have what they had. Thankfully it's like a 12-24 hour bug, But I'm worse off than I was yesterday. And I can't go lay down cause I'm afraid I'll miss the alarm on my phone to go pick up the little one from school.

I doubt I'm going to get anything done today

I spent the better part of the afternoon in bed sleeping to the best of my ability with three other people occupying the same room. That's the price you pay when you live in two rooms. I went to go read, but I didn't even open my book I just lay down and closed my eyes, not sure I actually slept thoroughly but I rested and feel better, not 100%, no where near it actually still extremely tired, and my throat hurts.

Not sure if Kathleen got it and gave it to us, or if it's something Sammi picked up. You never know with kids lol. Hopefully Shea and Kathleen don't get it.

I realized the other day if I do get a call in for an interview I really don't have anything I'd want to wear in. So I'll be going shopping soon hopefully. Not sure what I'll be able to get, but I hope to pick up some slacks and maybe a few shirts and a skirt/dress that I can manage to wear and feel comfortable in. Have I ever mentioned I hate clothe shopping? Well, I do, very much lol.

So hears to hoping something comes up I really would like to get something and that will pay for daycare and a few other expenses and maybe even be able to save something. I'm hoping Shea can find something too, he can't go back to Northrup Grumman until next year (December really but no point in going back before the 2 week break as he won't get paid for it.)

I just hope they don't say I'm overqualified for the jobs, I can't get a job I'm "qualified" for on paper because I've not done the job for over 6 years. And web design is in limited supply here, so... hopefully with my self-employment being my last job they'll understand. I applied for a Teller job at Hancock Bank, a clerical job at medical facility here in town, I forget the exact name and a patient access representative at Singing River Hospital here in the system. So we'll see how things go.

There is room for Kathleen at the Eastlawn Child Development Center (where she goes to preschool) for her all day and there is room for Sammi with the 3 year olds. The cost for two of the girls there is $210/week.

Wish me luck!

I also rearranged the girlies room. I put there beds together in a "L" shape and moved the tv to another wall. It opened up the room better and will allow me to put in a dresser in there if it's stable enough to hold the TV too. Though I could always just move the little TV in there as we won't be taping much I'm sure but you never know.

We'll see how well it goes over tonight with them sleeping so close, they typically share a bed so I hope it's fine. But we'll see.

You will never know how much stuff was underneath Kitten's bed. It's a solid wood frame with drawers, but we pulled the drawers out to get a better fit of the drawers against the wall (the girls break the drawers stepping on them). And all the toys that fell down the crack fell into those holes too. It was a major mess to clean up while moving things around lol. But it's all clean, there are tons of cars to be played with now lol.

I've a bit more rearranging to do in our room to fit the dressers in here, so that'll have to happen another day.

I also have to go through all the girlies clothes to figure out where I'm putting their clothes and praying they don't take them out of the drawers in their room. Fun fun.
