Grrr, couldn’t get the video to open. Is it a stripper on a pole? I saw that in real life and the girls said it’s all in the legs. Crazy stuff!

I left a huge comment on your newest post, and for whatever reason it won’t let me leave it. It just deleted it. There use to be a thing for ‘anonymous’ but it’s gone now and I don’t have any of the other things to leave comments.

I’m a dummy and JUST figured out how to change my blogroll to the new blogs, so I just updated all of that. So, I’d say just move on over to the new one unless you just want to copy and paste to this one for a while to help people who haven’t been on steadily for a while find your blog. Cause if you don’t update, it won’t come up as updated so people won’t check. But after a bit, I’d just close it. Thinking of doing the same myself… but I keep talking myself out of it. I’m rather boring!!!

I think we all deal with our given/chosen situations the best we can. I’m right there beside you in the camp of not having to work more than necessary. Although extra money is nice I have lived my entire adult life without it and have managed to get this far. I had all kinds of people giving their opinion when I cut back to part time. I’m not living in the what ifs, I’m trying to enjoy life in the here and now. I’ve had all kinds of emergencies pop up and guess what? I got through every last one of them.
I’m glad to see you being hopeful and realistic. You are right about needing to be there for your hubby if things don’t work out. I remember how your routine came to a halt last time because of needing to be available on a moments notice. And look at you….on the other side of that stronger than ever.
Good for you for knowing what works and what you want and for knowing that changes when it needs to.

Shoot, that’s when I was gonna bring myself, my extended family, our dogs and the neighbors cats to come see you. Are you saying that won’t work, cuz we’re on our way already! Oh, and I’m sick too. Lmao!
Ok, in seriousness, I’m glad you have a plan and that both of you are okay with his leaving.
Hugs on the in-laws front.

Ooh! So glad I got on tonight! First and foremost, WELL SAID! Your reasons are sound and even though you had hinted at them, I had wondered if the whole prospect had really gone through your mind. I see it has! I’m a ‘routine’ person myself and really NEED set times and schedules, which is why my second child has been so hard — he’s not routine in any way! Oh, and I don’t blame or judge you for not having kids. It’s not for everyone! I know several couples who have made the decision. It is NOT an easy one and NOT one you should be bullied on! Anyways, so far I feel like your plan is sound because it’s truly what YOU want. A job is just a job and some people need that ‘busy’ work. I’ve heard it SO much from when we were in. But like you, I hated working because for us, it was just never a combo that worked whether he was in or out. Between his nutty schedule and then mine… well… it darn near ruined our relationship. And I never liked it. We weren’t happy. A job just isn’t one of those things I ever wanted or needed to be satisfied. I like my at home ‘job’ just fine. And truthfully, having that partnership is what has worked the best for us. Again, not for everyone, but a choice and lifestyle that works for us. And that’s what you’re doing now… focusing on what works for you and what will work in the future! You sound so ALIVE and DRIVEN in this post!

As for WPM… no idea. I think I was around 70 or so the last time I tested, but that’s been a while! LOL

You don’t get over it. That’s just it. You just suck it up, push through, and go on. It’s really ALL you can do. UGH. I’d be mad as hell. I won’t lie. I don’t care for my hubby’s family all that much and if we still lived out of state and they dropped a bomb like that, I’d feel like exploding. It’s one thing to give some notice, but to just drop it on you like that??? In under a week? BLEH. I don’t know what to say other than maybe tell the hubby to get up and help get things ready for their visit. I know you probably like to do it, but maybe if he could just help out with some of the more basic things then by the end of the week it will be under control. Or you could pull a me and spend two nights staying up late and getting it done. LOL Yes, I would completely do that!

I have to say, though, I’m a little surprised that while he is gone you are going to give up on having a job. It would seem like that would help to pass the time and get you into a good ‘routine’ for later. Plus, all that extra money socked away would be great. Lots of people have to do this weight-loss thing with work and kids and whatever else… So why not just keep doing it so that later you can’t use it as a reason to not keep it up later on? I’m sure you’ve posted why and I’ve either missed it or forgotten it. On the flip side, I can’t say I don’t get why. Sometimes just having that time to just focus on you can be wonderful. I just worry that in the end, though, you will wish you had continued to work to and have that as part of your daily routine.

I’m just glad you seem so much happier now. I know you’re frustrated with the visitors, but you do seem to be taking the leaving and his job better. Probably because you see he’s in a better place. I just hope that things continue to go up for you guys and you’re able to both find your ‘happy places’.

Good for you for deciding what is good for you and quitting that job! You shouldn’t feel guilty at if it makes you feel so cruddy, I would do the same thing. Putting yourself first shouldn’t make you feel ashamed! Hope everything is going good lately! Thanks for the kick in the rump to get me back on here =)
