There's a storm a brewin as I type this.
Nothing to really report today.

Jesse will be having a big day tomorrow...riding home (here) with her Grammie and then going to the doctor to get those well-baby shots that she was supposed to have before.

It hurts me more than it does her. I can't stand for her to be in pain.

Yet, I want to ask the doctor about getting her ears peirced.

I don't know that I will because I know that it WILL hurt her and I'm not in favor of inflicting un-neccesary pain on Jesse, as I have already said.

L is all, "Wait until she is old enough to make her own decisions. If she wants to get her ears periced, fine. We'll take her. If not, that's fine, too."

My Mom bought Jesse a pair of earrings when she was maybe 2 or 3 months old and I would like for her to wear them.

I know babies that have their ears peirced and I think it looks so cute.

Plus, it would make Jesse look more girlie.

I don't dress her up all fancy when we go out, but I don't dress her up like a boy, either.

I get a little annoyed when strangers tell me what a pretty boy I have.

On Easter, she wore white hose, black dress shoes, a pleated dress with black and white checks on the skirt, a velvet top and ruffled sleeves.

Earrings would have topped it off perfectly.

I know this is selfish of me...to want to peirce her ears for my own reasons.

I want to do it, but I don't want to be there for it.

But, I don't want her to be how I was the very first time I got my ears peirced.

I was 6 or 7, I think and I had the first ear done.

I decided that it hurt too much and I refused to do the second. A week later, we went back and did the other ear.

Her little ears would hurt for up to a week...I'd feel so guilty.

I don't know what to do.

In other news, L applied for a job at a local steel company some time ago via job service.

The woman who does the onsite training called him today and he has to show up there for (what-we don't know-I assume training) on Friday morning.

I guess maybe it's an interview?

I think it's great that he made it "in the door" there because if he gets the job, it'll be a lot of money. More money than he has ever made on the hour since he and I have been together and we've been together for 6 years.

I want him to get this job because the money would be nice.

But, it's also a dangerous job and for that reason, I kind of don't want him working there.

I don't think they'll hire him because he's heavyset and once they see that he's a health risk, that's it for him.

All I can do is wait and see.
