The Day Before Friday

Nothing really exciting happed today. Chloe didn't feel great most of the day so we didn't do much. Her nupogen shots are getting really old. She hates getting them and its getting tiresome trying to talk her into cooperating. At first she was reluctant but I could tell her she needs them to get her counts back up. After some persuasion she would do it. Now, after a week of getting them and her ANC is still zero, she doesn't beleive me when I tell her the shots will help get her counts up. I hope she starts to rebound soon because I'm running out of persuasion tactics.

I called home to talk to Addie tonight and I can't beleive how fast she is growing up. She'll be wanting to date before you know it. Looks like I'd better get a shotgun to mount over the fireplace and photochop some Vietnam combat photos with my face in them to hang in the entry way - you know, for intimidation when boys come over. She misses the silly notes I leave for her on her whiteboard in her room at night, and I miss leaving them.

So it sounds like Spence put Elsie to work at the office. I think there are rules about kids that young working, but they seem to get away with it in other countries so why not here? I'm going to sign her up for some classes and hire her on full time next year as our systems engineer. She accomplished more than needed quickly and was able to just kick back and supervise the rest of the day. I don't think I've ever put my feet up on my desk, but there is a good chance I've thrown back a Dew in that chair. Least she could have done was emptied my garbage for me, and it looks like there is a box on my desk that needs to be shipped out to someone, and the warehouse needs cleaning, sample boards hung... I'll have to send out a memo. I hope that she isn't really drinking that, or Spence will hear about it from Stacie later. Gosh she is a cutie.

Stacie is still anxioulsy waiting to go into labor. Poor girl. I'm pretty sure she is tired of me telling her that she can do it and that if the baby is ready he will come early. I know this because she told me she is sick and tired of hearing that.

Don't worry Stacie, I know you are miserable but if the baby is ready he will come early.
