  Let's see... the kids got their new apartment, they move July 1st. Apparently they will have to downsize as the the new apartment is smaller then the one they're in now but each kid has their own rooms and those are pretty decent size. Daughter and I will be going through the apartment and figuring ways to be more organized and how to utilize space.
The only problem I see with that is daughter only half listens to me and half carries it out. The best news of all is that Pookie doesn't have to change schools yet again. Huzzah. We had to change our cruise date to October. The business is slowly starting up which usually means we work later and I can't justify leaving invoices and payments for 16 days. By Oct. We should be slowed down enough to cruise Hawaii. The vendor from hell is appeased for the moment. We received payment by one of our slothy clients and this payment brings them up to date. Thank you Lady! The other client jumped ship as a sub-contractor so we filed a demand for payment from their bonding company. The bonding company sent back paperwork to file out and they will be in touch once they try to contact the client, good luck.
We've been trying to contact the slothy client for a few months now, no response. Now if the Lady's Grace will stay with us long enough to collect from the bonding company, I may just avoid an ulcer yet. ~snort~ Like I see that written in the stars. I just want a smooth season, able to completely pay her off and then be able to say, " See ya. Thanks for the memories. " Okay, maybe not the memories. I could do well without them. It hurts me to see any of my children hurting.
My youngest got into an argument with one of his closet friends yesterday. #3 son came to see me in the office last night and we had a bit of heart to heart. Bottom line is they'll get over this, like all the other times. It just might take awhile. Both of them said things that were a bit on the angry and hurtful side.
There is nothing I can do to make the hurt go away or fix the problem. It must have been pretty bad, he had tears in his eyes and that doesn't happen often. I think after our talk, he was feeling a bit better. At the very least, I hope he got a different perspective on it. I think half the problem is that his friend has no sense of direction. He can't hold down a job, he can't seem to finish school.
He is wandering aimlessly out there. #3 son on the other hand, is a construction apprentice, works five days week and is contemplating going to college part time. The tables have turned and I think it unsettles his friend. He's a good kid, they both are. I have every faith they will make up down the road in a few weeks. I find myself doing more and more editorial work in the business. The hubby is making costly mistakes and it isn't like you can go back and tell your clients, " Oops, sorry made a mistake here.
Here's what you really owe. " They get kinda testy about that. Much of it is the hubby's medical problems. A lot of things are getting worse as he ages, but I knew that would happen and I accept my role in things. I just get a little more stressful is all. I love him and that comes with for better or worse. I just do what needs to be done. My writing partner has me ever so curious as to how he'll work himself back into the action. I hate not knowing how things are going to go. I hate waiting for them to happen and yes, dammit, I love it. The next sound heard is my forehead banging on my desktop.
