NERVES

Nerves have had me "on edge" the last few days/nights. First, Matthew has been watching this one Mickey video(old school Mickey). Every time one of the shows is over he calls me to restart...so I have to say no keep watching, here comes another one. This has been going on all afternoon today as well & is getting really old....ARGH!!
Secondly, the stress/nervousness of knowing someone has tried to break into the house. Wayne's dad looked at the door today. He said the deadbolts we have, once in locked position, can NOT be pryed open. This is a little reassuring to me. He also went w/me to Lowes to find another form of locking mechanism for the patio door. I also got alarms for all the doors & windows. We also are going to get rid of the hedges around our backyard/fence. It sucks that we have to do that because then we lose our privacy BUT it'll open it up so our friends across the street(on the right side of our house) can see if anyone enters our backyard. And we are going to invest in security cameras(ones you can hook up to a vcr & record)....this way we have "proof" if needed(praying it's never needed though).
Luke started waving last week.....so CUTE!!! He'll even be nursing, catch me looking down at him & he'll pull his hand away & start waving at me. TOO CUTE!!! He is getting better at pulling up...he's gonna walk soon I think.
Matthew is finally learning how to say his own name. He has always called himself me...but now he's getting Matthew down. He's learning so many words....a sponge....lol. Watch what you say now...lol!!!
We are all better this week. Last week, Matthew woke up w/a fever one day. The next day, I woke w/a cold; then Wayne got it the next day. But now we are all better.

DECISIONS! DECISIONS!

We are in the midst of making a decision regarding Wayne's job. Right now, he's working for this one a/c company. He went to it a little over a year ago in order to make more money(especially since we were expecting another baby). I hate to say it, but he doesn't seem happy anymore....especially lately. He seems upset & stressed a lot more. It can get unnerving!! Well now, the company he worked at before this one....wants him back. They've been trying to get him back for the last month or so. The boss from that company finally got to talk to Wayne yesterday. He told him what he had to offer. They have switched how they pay the guys. Wayne would make more per job there than where he's at now. The only downfall is winter time w/the company wanting him, is slower than w/the one he's w/right now. BUT, the boss used to always find things for the guys to do(even if it didn't have anything to do w/doing a/c). I thought a decision had been made last night but when I asked him this morning ,he said he didn't know yet. I'm not sure if he meant he wasn't sure he was switching or if he wasn't sure how he was going to quit(just up & quit or give 2 wks notice).
I haven't heard from him all day, so I don't know if they've ticked him off anymore like they had yesterday. The installers were yelled at collectively(for the mistakes of just a couple); then they were told that from now on they too would be on-call on the weekends; & then informed that they do NOT get paid holiday or vacation pay(which he was told when he was hired that they did get). If he goes back to his "old" job; the boss said he'd hire him back right where he left off.....it'll be like he never left....2 wks vacation(right off), eligible for insurance right away, etc, etc.
We ask for prayers from everyone regarding this situation.
