I find this unbelievable.  People living on the beach are coughing, going to the doctors, doctors doing testing thinking they have a dread disease, residents having no idea the red tide is in the area unless somebody tells them.  WHAT IS OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FOR?

Literally as I sat on a deck outside of a restaurant EVERYONE was coughing.

But you cannot SEE, SMELL, OR FEEL red tide.  And it comes in waves.  It was amazing to sit there and watch people cough in unison and then stop coughing again in unison.  But because you couldn't see or smell anything, you thought it was just YOU.

I had called the health department last week inquiring about red tide and if there can be neurological effects (many many of us are having dizziness, unexplained diarrhea up to 10 times a day for now explainable reason) and they just sort of went, ho hum, don't know of any studies done on neurological system of human effects unless you have eaten shellfish that have been exposed.  Of course I know I have not EATEN shellfish because I am allergic to fish. 

Doctors are making hand over fist in this community with people coming in with these neurological complaints, dizziness, gastric complaints, coughing --- and NEVER ONCE considering the red tide that is so bad this year most of us can't even dare get out of our houses, let alone go to the beach. 

I tell you what, if you are thinking of plunking down loads of money to "live" at the beach or vacation in the panhandle and even down to St. Petersburg, be sure to consider the RED TIDE.  And if you get sick, think about the possibility of RED TIDE, because your doctor sure won't and your real estate SURE WON'T.

First, you can't be all things to all people.  Not meaning to sound nasty or hateful, but with 3 kids under 5, you can't possibly do a good job either as a mother or as an employee.  With 1 kid under 5, possibly; with 2 under 5 maybe, but 3, no way, no how.  I know this because I raised 4.  1 was okay, 2 would be okay but you add the 3rd one (any 3rd one) and POW.  Constant.."he hit me....well SHE hit me first....I hit him because he looked at me,"  I'm sure you know the drill.  If you don't know what I mean yet because of their age, trust me, you will.

You can have the best of both worlds though.  Either hire someone to come in while you are working or put those babies in daycare during your working hours.  You will be there when they need you and you have the flexibility to attend school functions, take an afternoon off to spend with them and just take them to the park, etc. etc.  Plus you can devote full attention to your job during those hours.....well, as much as anyone can, since the majority of people who aren't in the know think we stay home and some nice company just sends us a paycheck every couple of weeks because they like us. And they want to "work"for the same company we "work" for.  :) 

Just to add a funny, I moved once to another state and later learned that thenew neighbors were gossiping behind my back, they KNEW I was having an affair with the UPS driver because he came to my house at the same time every day. hahahaha

Now I'm sure there are going to be mom's who say you CAN do your job with the kids.  I say that if you wouldn't consider taking your very young children to the office and do your job, don't expect to do at home what you can't do at the office.  Adding to your stress at home, who stops and fixes lunches?  Who stops and changes diapers?  Who settles arguments?  dtc. etc. etc.

I told someone before you could work with children underfoot and I'm sure someone will remind me of that so I'll go ahead and explain.  I said you could work with the kids underfoot and you can.....provided you have some help.  Even with help, as the Head MOM you'd still have plenty of interruptions but it wouldn't be continuous.

I am currently working on a 20 minute dictation with an ESL who talks like a 3-year-old.  I can't even figure out where she might be from.  Words like....tweatment, twying, reawy, downwite, etc.  Plus, there is about a 2 second pause between every word!!!!!

The real kicker is that she is dictating this for another doc who I know for a fact speaks perfect English.

Sometimes I just wanna cry!!

oo

use me because they have had such horrible quality from national services that they refuse to use them anymore.  That includes national services with American MTs and national services with Indian MTs.  I am surviving and thriving while you are whining.
