What's been going on with Rocky

For a few years now we have noticed that Rocky has been getting sick off of pizza. He is fine the next day but for some reason he would get sick more often than any other child. At first we didn't know exactly it was but we narrowed it down and noticed it with just pizza. We don't know if it is the sauce or what. I know for the past few years he would eat spaghetti without the sauce, sloppy joes without the sauce mixed into the meat. But he also won't drink plain milk and only chocolate milk in the carton. He also will only eat specific cheeses and doesn't like melted cheese. We thought he was just strange but we knew that something was going on. We don't know exactly what ingredient it is but something is irrating him. We have controled it for the most part by not giving him pizza or giving him pizza without the sauce and that has seemed to helped but we are tired of guessing what it is. So tomorrow we have an appointment with the allergist to narrow down what it is. I hope we find out what it is so we can solve the problem. I hate that he was sick so much and we didn't know why. It makes me feel helpless as a parent when I can't help him when it's my job to. I hope Chris is out of the hospital today so he can go with us. I will keep everyone updated about Rocky. I hope we figured out what is going on. Rocky is excited but also nervous to find out but he also wants answers as well. He is just as frusterated as we are.

Big changes!!

I have been having a hard time lately with changes. Especially since they have been happening one after another. I really enjoyed being a MSC (motherhood sales consultation) at Macy's. I loved being my own boss and being able to go in whenever it was convenient for me. I felt like I had the best of both worlds. I could be my own boss at Macy's and I can help my store manager upstairs if she needed me. I also loved the co workers and everyone knew who I was there. When Macy's announced that they were closing I felt lost; and I still feel like I am lost. I feel like I am just floating. The one thing I was concerned about was where was I going to go. Alisha my store manager already decided my fate. She was like no she is coming back to me. I am not going to lose her. Which was awesome because it showed that she really valued me as an employee but now I feel like I am just a convenience to her and I hate that feeling. What you guys don't know is she hired a new lady a couple of weeks before Macy's announced that they were closing. Alisha told me even though she hired this new employee they can still squeeze me in which I don't like. I feel like that I am only there when someone needs a day off or a break. Don't get me wrong I do appreciate everything that Alisha has done for me. She has done a lot for me and continues to do a lot for me and I will be forever grateful for her. She even would work around Chris' schedule when he had a job and that was very nice of her to do. I feel very comfortable with her. I would just like to have my own schedule and feel like I belong somewhere and right now I feel like I don't belong anywhere. I know it sounds silly. I am just having a hard time adjusting to this new change. Maybe it will change once time goes on. I think that is why I volunteered to work in Park City because I feel like that is the only way that I am going to get hours is at other stores.
    Chris had an interview today at a place called Warner Fleet Services. They are a call center for truck drivers and do inbound calls. He said that the interview went really well and he thinks he got the job. He thinks it would be perfect for our family. Even though it's in West Valley City I am not really concerned about what city a job is at at this point. As long as it's perfect for our family. This job would be Monday thru Friday either 7am to 4pm or 8am to 5pm with weekends off is what he wants. He is really excited to move forward if they decide to have him hired. I am thinking if he gets this job to try to find a new job or just tell her I can only work nights. I am trying to stay positive and take it a day at a time. I hope these changes are for the best and we know what we want to do and we are happy about it. And of course we will keep all you guys updated!
