Sunday Morning

I am up early to enjoy my coffee before the children are running around making noise but that does not last long.  They of course wake up especially early this morning and are making enough noise to wake the dead.  I have sent them to their room to watch TV (I know bad mom) but I am not a pleasant person until I have at least 2 cups of coffee.

Yesterday my youngest daughter who is 6 came to me to ask if she really lost a tooth!  Seems she lost one of her front teeth and had no idea when or where it went LOL.  The last tooth she lost, she actually lost and we would not find it either.  So I guess she will write a new letter to the tooth fairy apologizing for not having her tooth under her pillow and pleading for mercy and money!

About to get ready for church.  This is something I will miss if/when we move since it is hard to replace your dad as your pastor when he is the best dad in the world.  We have a great church and I will miss many of them when we leave. 

I have very mixed emotions about moving.  I have never been away from my family and that is tough to even consider but staying unemployed is not an option that we can live with and this opportunity could be an great career move for my husband.

I am watching FOX news this morning and praying for Egypt that the situation there can calm down for the peoples sake.  I hope they can get a government that will treat them right and can still be a friend to the US and Isreal, even if the second friendship is tenuous at best.

Well since it is time to get ready for church I will sign off for ow

Introducing Myself

I have considered having a blog for some time now.  I am  Cajun woman who runs a cloth diaper company.  We have been in business for 6 years now and some parts are good others are bad.  Being your own boss has it pros and its cons.  Pros you get to decide what to do, cons you know everything has to be done.  I am not sure if I would have started this if I had known what I was getting into.  My business partner is my mom and best friend.  This is the best and worst situation you can be in.  When you are in business with your friends/family it tends to consume all of your quality time.  There are times when I wish we could just be family and friends.  But with things how they are this is how it has to be for now.

On the home front my husband was laid off from his job at the end of October.  Definitively not the hiring season in the oil field!  South LA is suffering from the Oil Moratorium that the Obama administration has put here.  It is choke hold on our economy.  Supposedly the moratorium is over but no new permits have been issued still.  We got another news report that a new rig has left the Gulf this week.  If things keep up the gulf oil economy will be completely devastated over time, I am not sure if that is not the administration's plan to be honest.  At this time my husband is talking to a great company for international work and it looks like he should have a great position soon.  I am the anxious sort so this waiting for a contract is killing me though.  It could be a life changing position for our whole family.


We have had our home on the market off and on for almost a year now.  I had pulled it from the Real Estate agency in October and out of the blue we were contacted us by a family who found our ad on an obscure web site and they signed a contract.  Hope the financing goes well and that we can downsize soon.  This house is way too big for me.  If I had a maid it would be OK but mopping 3200 sq foot is not my favorite pastime!

Hope to update this with good news on one of the fronts soon.  TTYL
