Arizona Charlies

If you shave his moustache off, I think maybe Charlie was a girl.

Anyway, I am sitting in my hotel room in Las Vegas while Mel is sleeping. We are on blitzkrieg to find a house to rent TODAY. Yep, that's right, we have one day. Fortunately, we have a realtor who is helping us.

I am really nervous, I haven't told Melanie this, but its this whole moving thing. Its not just the rental, even though that is now doubling our rent from Utah, its everything. Pretty much wiping out our savings to move - CO is kind enough that they will be giving me 1000.00 gross to help, that covers the Uhaul and gas.

Am I smart enough? Have I managed staff enough that I am the leader of this team? This position is a very high profile position, which means if I excel - I excel, but if I don't - I am on the line. i guess that real is where every leader wants to be, on the line, but it has been awhile since i have had to take professional responsibility for anyone else directly, and that was at the rep level; these guys are currently doing what I do for IHC. Those in the call center or metrics industry can probably see my trepidation.

Mel wants a car before we move, but I don't think she realizes the gravity of our situation. I mention above we are pretty much blowing our nest egg to buy out of our current lease, pay for a new lease and move down with a couple bucks to spare for groceries and gasoline.

Aunt J did say it best that when you are in true need, and you have opened yourself up to it, you will be taken care of. I agree, but as the head of my family, I worry. Mel will be staying up in Utah for two extra weeks, me and the boys will be down in Vegas 'moving in". What if our credit isn't goo enough (I am still 'rebuilding' from my divorce even though the past three years looks good)? I only have one real day to move in, Sunday the third and then Melanie leaves, so I have like 4 hours to unload a Uhaul with me, Mel, Alex and Scooge. Boy Howdy.

Are the boys gong to miss me? Will Scooge forget us? Are they going to be OK without me there all the time? Have I done everything I can in preparation for there life to let them know that I love them more than my life itself?

Well, I am really ranting. these are the things that i think about at 5:45 AM, Vegas time, while Melanie sleeps.

///peace out.
