Babies...and some non-pleasant stuff

It looks like one, possibly two males and the rest are females. They are getting so big and they're crammed in there so tight that you can barely see the nest anymore. This will be the last picture I'll take of them while they are still in the nest. Four of them will be 13 days old tomorrow and they should be strong enough to cling to the opening and look out. By Sunday they will be capable of short flight.

There's poop all over the walls inside the house. Once they've finally left the nest for good I'll have to clean it out to get it ready for a second brood.

More news on the work situation. I've spoken with the union steward and was given the same old tired line that's used every time you try to get help from that worthless, commie organization, "There's nothing we can do."

Useless!

I also talked with my manager and the same thing happened to her when she had her last baby. She was off on leave for 3 months but they don't call it 'maternity leave' anymore. Now it's called short-term disability. Funny, I didn't know having a child made you disabled.

Whatever!!!

This has upset me so much that I've been sick for 3 days. It's a bear going to work when you feel like crap. Today I was so upset that I broke down in tears and had to take a break after only being there an hour and a half.

I have never been so angry in my life. Usually I get over being mad but this is just not right. I figured out how much money I would lose if I took my vacations and personal days anyway, plus what I'm going to lose for all the holidays and it's over $1,000.00.

I hope I can get over this stomach problem because I have to work til 7:30 tomorrow then be back at 6:00AM Sunday morning. I've barely eaten and am very weak. To top it all off, it's yet another holiday weekend. (A holiday for which I'll be losing pay that I've earned). Plus, I'll have to start keeping Gary in tomorrow night so he doesn't eat my babies while they're learning how to fly. He's not going to be happy and will more than likely cry all night. He hates being indoors in the Summer.

Sure hope that stray cat is long gone by now. I haven't seen it for a few days but I've been at work, so who knows where he/she is.

God please help me get past this anger.
