Irreplaceable

I know I'm all update crazy now that I'm back online, but I just had to share some really great news.

The pharmacutical company my mom works for was bought by a new company, and so we've been kind of worried (and her stressed out) about probably losing her job. But these new guys (who she so lovingly nicknamed Beavis and Butthead) hired her on as not only what she was with the old company (as a driver), but as the SUPERVISOR driver. Meaning she makes the shifts and routes and hires/fires people. So she got a promotion. It's only a little more money, but it's a really great thing. She doesn't have to worry about losing her job and the little income it brings my family. And she can breathe a little easier about hating her job so much.

AND, because dad still isn't much better (baby steps, I reminded her), they got the insurance company to caugh up the dough for home health care. So there's a nurse/cna that comes to the house 3 days a week for 5 hours to help my dad, but more to help my mom. She'll be doing the grocery shopping, the laundry, light cleaning. This is so great for my parents.

I've been grinning all day. I'm just so glad that things are working out for them.
