And the wheels on the bus

What happened today?

Got my new assignment, no choices. Big emergency, they need a "powerhouse" to go fix a high profile program for the next year.

And?

I'll have to work on the client site, a 3 hour commute a day, at best. Going to have to put Bear in daycare or ...

Or?

Thought, maybe I had options. Maybe this was a sign that it really was time to quit or at least take a long leave of absence.

And the wheels on the bus...

But that would have meant that he'd have to...

He won't.

...Go round and round...

What now?

What do you think of selling the house, after the school year is over? Find something closer to this assignment so I don't have to sacrifice being a parent completely...

...Go round and round...

What about....

I really can't talk about it.

...Round and round...

Why did you expect this time would be different? Honey, why? You just set yourself up to hurt when you go counting on -

Please. It's hard enough feeling like a fool in this rut. Knowing that I'm the Charlie Brown in this little play, always hoping that this time Lucy won't pull the ball.

Egads. So sorry to here this, Elizabeth. It's not much but maybe I can tease a smile out for you:

A Duck walks into a bar and says to the bartender, “Got any bread?”

Barman says, “No.”

Duck says, “Got any bread?”

Barman says, “No.”

Duck says, “Got any bread?”

Barman says, “No. We don’t have bread.”

Duck says, “Got any bread?”

Barman says, “NO! We don’t have any freakin’ bread!”

Duck says, “Got any bread?”

Barman says, “NO!! What’re you deaf?!? We haven’t got any freakin’ bread and if you ask me again I’ll nail your freakin’ beak to the bar—irritating bastard bird!”

Duck says, “Got any nails?”

Barman says, “No.”

Duck says, “Got any bread?”

Oh, shit. I'm terribly sorry. You know that, probably. I don't suppose the new client has on site day care that you could use? Or what about making the company pay for getting you an apartment closer, a short term rental? Or taking the money to help pay for in house nanny for you? Is any of that possible?

The stress you must be experiencing must be tremendous. I'm so sorry. Anything at all I can do to help?
