Life on the road " The Blah's"

Sometimes a person who lives in a hotel day in and day out can get the case of the blah's. Today that person is me. It's just been one of those days where I feel lonely and miss my family and friends. There's only so much you can do when u live in a hotel. I don't have my car up here right now, but it won't be long. Austin and I will be heading home to Pensacola, Fl. in August. It will be Austin's first flight ever. He is a little scared of heights, but he'll just have to suck it up! We will be flying home to stay for two weeks and then, driving my car back up to Michigan. We will be stopping to stay the night in Alabaster,Al. to see my two older boys. The next day we will be driving for twelve hours to Michigan. I am so excited and can't wait to go home to p'cola. August can't get here fast enough!

Life on the road "Cont. to should I tell the truth story"

 Well, this is a continuance to the blog I wrote previously titled " Should I tell the truth or not" My friend that I told the truth about her boyfriend cheating on her, She is faced with another delima now. The girl in which her boyfriend was having the affair with, has annoucned that she is pregnant. Wow! I had a feeling this would happen. I tried to tell him to be careful about sleeping with this girl. I told him that she was the type that was looking for a way out of her messed up relationship with her own husband. So his cheating doesn't only affect his own relationship with his girlfriend " my friend", it also affect another family. I hope my husband's co-worker has learned his lesson on the affects cheating will bring to a relationship or family. One can only hope that all parties can resolve this issue in a civil manner for the two children already involved and the one that may soon be involved in 9mths or so.

Disaster in the Gulf "Kevin Costner's Invention"

I don't understand why BP wasn't more prepared for a disaster, knowing a major oil spill could have happened ant any time during drilling. If Kevin Costner could invent this type of machine more than a year ago, why couldn't BP or any of the major oil companies do the same. Why wasn't something like this being used right after the spill first started.We all know we can't stop drilling for oil until other means of energy replacement is in full effect. In the meantime the oil companies need to have safety and disaster guidelines enforced to the fullest extent, so this kind of major disaster never happens again.

THE DISASTER IN THE GULF " MY HOME TOWN"

I can't believe this is really happening to my home town "Pensacola, Fl". This makes me super furious! I just  pray that Bp or the Government can get this under control soon. Even if they finally get the oil to ever stop spewing into the Gulf of Mexico, The damage is far too great to ever imagine how long it will take to get our precious Gulf back to it's original state. The whole entire strech of Gulf from New Orleans, La to Panama City Bch, Fl has been suffering for years since Hurricanes Ivan and Katrina Hit our region. It's bad enough that our Communities have to survive natural disasters. Now we have to survive a major man-made disaster. I can only pray that we won't get hit by a hurricane this season, for that would push the oil further inland causing all kinds of illnesses and much more. I hope this doesn't forever destroy America's most Beautiful white beaches. PLEASE " GOD" HELP MY HOME TOWN AND ALL OF THE GULF!

Life on the road! "Learn to handle your liquor"

People that are going to drink, should no how to handle their liquor. Last night my husband had to babysit his co-worker's again. Some of these guys are just too young to handle drinking w/out wanting to fight everyone. When your in a public place and kids are around it definitely isn't the time or place to get waisted and act stupid. Three of our co-workers started to fight in the pool area as I was walking by them. I was too close for comfort, when fist starting flying! Luckily my husband was there to brake it all up before anyone was hurt. But the sad thing is my husband got hurt, by breaking his hand after hitting someone.  He finally got everyone to settle down and go to there rooms to sleep it off. Like I said before, We are like parents to some of these immature idiots that work w/my husband. I wish that everyone would settle down and learn to get along like a family, after all we are a working family! Hopefully the testosterone that's running thru these young men's blood will settle down soon. If it don't , they'll be looking for another job!

Life on the road "Should I have told the truth or not?"

Today I was faced with the question of whether I should tell someone dear to me the truth about her other half. Well, I ended up telling her the truth about her boyfriend and father of her child cheating on her while he is away from home working with our crew. This just happens to be another crazy day in our " Life on the road". The past couple of days my friends boyfriend has been fooling around on her with a woman who works here at the hotel. My friend has been calling me because she was concerned about her boyfriend not answering the phone and/or calling her like he usually did. I told her boyfriend that it was getting very difficult for me to keep the truth from her about what's been going on and that if he didn't man up and give her the respect by telling her himself, I was going to end up telling her. Well today she called me and was very confused about what was going on with him and why he's been treating her so coldly. Just liked I promised, I told her the truth! Now she says that she wanted to know and she was glad that I told her. I want to know what other people think about this. Should I have told her or should I have kept out of it? What would you have wanted if you were in her shoes? Please give me some feedback and tell me what you think. I hope I did the right thing for my friend. If anyone has any tips that my help her in this time of need , please tell them! I will definitely pass it on to her.
