MILESTONE DAYS.

Hello!  People all over the world. . join hands!  (Start a love train?)
It has been a week and two days since my last time in the clink.
(Yes, that really is how I feel about being in the hospital.)

Since that time, I have breathed a little relief. . . until the Hub came home and announced that he had been laid off work.  Because, nothing in this house can ever be easy.  The weekend was spent updating portfolios and resumes and redoing a LinkedIn account.  Now, I think we're all ready to apply for new jobs.  The bad news, of course, is that 40% of the Hub's industry is out of work.  Great.

So what does this mean?
Thankfully, I have a good job and can take care of business while the Hub is out of work.  Unfortunately, the Hub is so much like me that he cannot "do nothing."  Therefore, he will likely start working for his father's company (an hour away) and staying there most of the work-week.  This will leave me at home with our pup and my ever growing child.  Exciting.  Who needs bed rest?

In honor of our newly jacked-up situation, here is a list of non-seq comments for your pleasure:

*  I have gained 8 pounds.  That's it.  Most women, at this point, have gained closer to 15 pounds.  I'm alright with this.  I'm a big girl anyway.  (No, not that big. . . and yes, my OB says this is alright.)

*  Our child takes after Daddy with the food favorites.  He likes Chicken Chimichangas - and not Mommy's favorite burritos. 

*  I was able to use my experience with 17P shots to put someone at ease this weekend.  While I have a high pain tolerance, I feel like the 17P shot has got nothing on discomfort when it comes to Cortizone.  Really - after the initially stick (which is pretty deep), there really isn't any pain.

*  Today was my neighborhoods large junk day.  I'm sure there are other words for this, but my brain isnt' allowing me to think of them right now.   Last night, when all of our neighbors were putting their large items on the curb, I kind of wished I had something obnoxious to put out there as well. 

*  I didn't make it to Krispy Kreme this weekend.  This makes me sad.

*  Does your spouse have access to all user names/pw to all of your accounts?  My Hub does.  In the even of something horrible happening, I made sure that all of my accounts (anything, people) are open to him.  I want him to be able to collect monies, emails, etc.  I think this is also good practice for strong trust.  Or something, painfully cheesy like that.

I hope your week is starting off a little better than mine.  What would my life be without some horrible shit happening every year?  Oh yeah. . it would be your life.  ;)  You're welcome.
