Boogies

We have allergies. Yesterday I was in a friend's house (she has three cats) and my allergies flared up and my throat itched. Rowan looked much worse though...Snail trails abound.

Snot gods? Are you there? Please leave us alone. Please?

(I don't really believe in snot gods)

I was offered a full time job at my favorite salon.... It's a beautiful, sedate salon with normal people that DON"T smoke in the building (or at all) located on Music Row. I'd worked there on Fridays for a bit as a fill in. This is truly a once in lifetime opportunity. I know that sounds corny, but salons like this are not everywhere. Now that I've explored a few and worked at a few I can say that with confidence. I could go on and on about this place!

Alas, I do love my Rowan and can't picture putting him in day care. I think he would love it, I would hate it, and Mikayla would feel that life was finally fair because Rowan didn't get Mommy all to himself all day. And I don't want two jobs. Just one. Just a few hours a week. 20 hours is my max... 10 is my happy place. 5 with more money would be my zen.

My current salon, well, it's struggled a bit. We are under new management and it has definitely improved. It still smells smoky often, and I'm kind of bored sometimes.... BUT it is SOOO very close to home and I learn something new every day. And I do love my clients... (I actually have my own super tiny clientele! WoooHOOOOOO!)Super super tiny clientele if we are being honest. And I like my coworkers. It's a good thing to like those I work with. And I should only be there for one more calendar year, or (my term of preference) 3 more semesters- maybe 4. That seems so much shorter. And this job gives me almost monthly trainings in cuts/color/ waxing etc... LOVE that!

If I could work one or two days a week in the dream salon I would love that.. Let's pray for that to be an option- Then I would have all Sunday's off! Make MORE money than my two days at the other salon! And I can still learn and have every EVERY weekend OFF!

SAD NOTE: One of my favorite people in the world is leaving! She's moving and I am distraught.. I love her, my kids love her, and I'll miss watching our daughters being dramatic together..

Bonny I LOVE YOU!!! (and your mommy- thanks for leaving her behind for us)
