Frances''s Diary Entries

Sorry it took so long for the update. But here I go!

So hear I sit two weeks after the move and guess what? I am bored! But that
could be because I don't leave the house much. I have managed to get rid of
all boxes. I still have a little more organizing and decorating but its
getting there. I love the house it is adorable. The neighborhood is quiet
and everything is close by. I couldn't ask for more. With one minor
problem. I spent last Saturday cleaning all day long. Sunday I woke up
with a rash that still has not gone away. It is mainly on my chest, stomach
and upper thighs. Very very strange. I have been freaking out wondering
what it was. Today I think I got my answer. As I was upstairs in my son's
room I started sneezing and coughing almost to the point where I could not
breathe. Then my husband noticed big clumps of dog hair all along the edge
of the carpet next to the wall. Now I notice that the hair is everywhere.
Did I forget to mention I am highly allergic to dogs??? I just touch one
and I instantly start itching and getting a rash. Go figure. So now we
are trying to handle the dog hair clean up. But I think its Mission
Impossible.

Here is a quick family update:

TONY - seems blissfully happy and even gets up early in the morning. In
Miami I had to practically beg him to get out of bed. He even cleaned the
kids rooms today, but of course that was mainly due to the dog hair episode
mentioned earlier.

AMBER LEIGH - is completely loving life. She loves her room and her
bathroom and the entire house. Her energy is exhausting though. She is
obsessed with the Wiggles right now and for the life of me I can't seem to
figure out why. Do you know the Wiggles are on 3 or 4 times a day?

ANTHONY - He seems to be having a hard time adjusting I am afraid. He was
very used to his babysitter and not so used to having me around all day. In
Miami I worked so much that I only really got to see him for about an hour
per night. My once pleasant adorable little boy now screams all day long.
No matter what I do. I have no idea how to calm him down. We watch shows,
we color,we go outside but nothing seems to work very well. He is a little
better this week but not back to his old self by any means.

AS FOR MYSELF - I am adjusting also. My biggest concern is work. I thought
I would have no problem finding a job but it is proving to be alot harder
than I thought. There is one law firm in particular that I have already
interviewed with twice and they still want me to go back for another
interview. Do they think everybody has all the money in the world that they
can afford not to work while they interview a million times? Certainly not
me. I turned one job down and another one wanted me to work a million
overtime hours which I just don't want to do anymore. This is definitely
the ideal firm for me to be at but do they have to take so darn long???

Sorry for the venting. I will post again soon.

Also, my thoughts and prayers are wth Corrine right now in her hour of need.
May her boys be safely returned to her as soon as possible.
