Today is one of those days that I feel absolutely CRUMMY. My cycle began yesterday and I'm tired, aching, bloated, and short-tempered. I am angry at my husband right now, so I journal to cool down. I will spare any reader the gory details...I feel I have already shared T.M.I!
We're enjoying a three-day weekend (M.L. King day is tomorrow), so this gives me time to wash everyone's hair, including mine. For African-American women and girls, that task is an all-day affair, and there's FOUR of us! But it's also a great bonding time. It will be nice to have them home on a weekday, too.
I am still waiting for responses from all the jobs I applied for in the last two weeks. On Tuesday, I will be enrolling myself and my husband in some computer courses that are set to begin in February. They are free of charge to the hurricane victims, and not only will it give us something to do while we are waiting to be hired, but the classes will teach us all of the computer functions every job is asking us to be familiar with (Excel, spreadsheets, Lotus, etc.). I HOPE that we are hired by then, but if not, we won't lose our unemployment benefits if we are enrolled in a training program. Besides, if I'm not considered for one of the dispatching jobs I want, I can always return to Wal-Mart. I'm in no hurry. For Wal-Mart, I already know where I will be working here in Texas and who my boss will be. I'm just looking for a better opportunity, and a chance to do what I love to do again. Is that wrong?

No, I don't think it's wrong. What's the use of having a job if you hate doing it? If you're anything like me, all the jobs I've had, that I didn't like. Well, they didn't last long. I was always looking for an excuse to quit and I was miserable.
As for the hair thing. have fun with the girls!!
My great grandfather was black and my Mom inherited his hair. She had such a time with it. But, she used a green pomade (sp) and I wish I knew what it was. I can't use it in my hair, but I loved the smell of it. I'd like to get some just to see if the smell brought back any memories.
Hope you feel better!
hugs
