Well...........I'm not usually fully aware when I make one of my brother's mad, but I think I offended Jody 2 nights ago! When I called to see how Cace was doing.........he told me they had changed the baby's name! I said "WHAT?" Being afraid that the name would be mispoken too often, or thought of as 'casey' - a girl, they went with their other choice of Caedmon Josiah. Keep in mind that this particular part of my family NEVER shares what names they are contemplating until AFTER the birth...........we knew nothing of either name prior to birth. I proceeded to tell Jody that it sounded like caveman and he was not happy. He figures people will call him Cade. Now, mind you......the name Jody is best known as a girl's name, and none of his other 4 children are called by anything other than their given name..........
I will love this baby no matter the name, but may just have to call him CJ. Because as I feared, when I shared the name with people, they mistook it for caveman or caymen.
By the way, I did not receive the position at work due to the fact that my "house is on the market!" I'm not sure what to think about that..........is it discrimination? What if we sell the house and just move to Kearney? I could have still driven 15 miles to work and not had a problem with that. Instead, the position is being filled from outside the bank, but I am expected to continue in that capacity until the girl can spend 2-3 weeks training at another branch and then I will have to train her on some things at our bank.............I'm thinking..........NO, not doing it.
I'm worth more than that, and there are better managed places to work.........so..........
The house stays on the market and I may play Aunt for awhile........Jody & Nicki now have 5 with the oldest age 7, they can certainly use my help. Janin & Amie will have #3 in December and the oldest is 4 and Rance & Brylie are having #2 in October.............
Meanwhile, I continue to pray and listen for God's directives.........as well as my husband's! He's very supportive and willing for me to take a break.............we'll just have to see

Hey Tami, just saw the blog. I didn't know you had your house on the market! Good luck house-hunting, it's a good time to buy. (Unfortunately, that means its a bad time to sell.)
Hi Tami,
I just found your blogs and have been reading through them. It's amazing how we are at a similar stage in life; I sometimes felt like I was reading my own feelings. I have 12 nieces & nephews; 1 great niece and two more on the way. Isn't it great? You've inspired me to start my own blog. Keep it up and don't let those turkeys at work get you down. I'll be praying for you.
