dyk she gave me the stink eye HAHA
dyk and then she went and played with the blocks
dyk the nurse practioner was amazed
dyk I assured her Ellie was a shrimpy but she understands WAY MORE than others think she does -- but I AM NOT FOOLED
dyk my christmas list is growing haha
dyk except under dresses or skirts
dyk but if I can wear thick dark tights -- that's better
dyk Abi has been wearing panties more -- we encourage full coverage -- but have provided her with alternatives b/c well, I can sympathize
dyk I forgot to get the doc's note from UTMB oh well
dyk one unexcused absence isn't a big deal
dyk she's really focused right now, doing very nice work
dyk she ate a huge breakfast, then a snack, she's had all her medicine, and it's very quiet and cool and dimly lit in the house
dyk she's in her element
dyk Ellie is napping and will be PISSED in 40 minutes when I get her up to go get Dek off the bus, then we go get his ADHD prescription and then Abi has OT, and while she's at OT we're going to our weekly park playdate and then home by 4:15 or so -- and THEN Ellie can finish her nap haha
dyk I was watching Sean work last night -- on a job that pays him what he would make in 3 FULL DAYS at his current "job" and he could have been done but he didn't have enough daylight which means he'll finish tonight and so the job waiting behind it can't even be brought over
dyk and I was thinking -- it's all my fault -- I don't have enough faith and I have too many control issues to turn him loose and let him do what he wants to do and what he's good at -- and start his side business
dyk :-/
dyk my Jen-friend calls and her husband is wanting to make some investments -- he pulled a large chunk from stocks and wants to invest more personally -- he's looking into paying cash for a rental property but also wanted to do a small investment that has a quicker, more "fun" turnover rate
dyk she asks me would Sean be interested in "going into business" to flip some cars -- use "seed money" from her husband for the purchase (about $1,000) and then we invest a bit into parts, Sean does labor pulling an hourly rate (from the profit when sold) then he gets a percentage return and we also pocket a profit
dyk and roll the $1,000 from the sale to a next vehicle
dyk we can legally flip 6 cars without paying taxes or having a used car salesman license
dyk buy a car at $1,000, parts under $500 then sell for $3,000 (typical) profit is $1500 -- $500 to friend's hubby is 50% return in 2 months
dky in 4 months he's doubled his money and we've also pocketed $2,000 in labor and return on our $500 in parts --
dyk as it turns out -- I'm an idiot. And I think the real calling was to stop trying to lead/control the family and let Sean do what he feels called to do!
