Hi all, I hope it's alright, but I was sick of having to scroll so far down to get to the last messeges, so I decided to start a new thread.
Absmom-How did everything go with DH's interview? I hope it worked out wonderfully and that you are feeling much less stressed!
To everyone else- I hope you are surviving the summer heat and feeling great! Please check in and let me know!
Well, I am still feeling better, a bit more energy, but Katie is moving all the time, making it tough to sleep! Sometimes it gets really uncomfortable! We went to see Cirque du Soleil on Sun, and I thought I was going to have to get up and leave, I was getting so uncomfortable, my back was aching and my hips were hurting, and she was right where it makes it feel like a deep breath is impossible! Thankfully the intermission came up and after standing in line for the bathroom for nearly the entire 30 minutes, we felt much better and thankfully the 2nd half was much shorter! By the end of it she was wide awake, and I swear she was dancing to the beat! But the show was great, and I really enjoyed it!
I am still unemployed and still waiting for my first unemployment check to arrive! You can imagine how much fun that is! It has been almost 2 monthes! And all they can say is "due to a backlog of claims, it is taking significantly longer to process new ones" Well, somehow I don't think my mortgage company or credit card companies are going to buy that one! So it has been stressful. Then, today I got a call from my old company, different location, offering me a much lower paying, demotion position. I was willing to take this position, when I first got layed off due to the high probability of a quick promotion, but it fell through, and now they are wanting to interview me for the lower paying position, when there is really no chance for a promotion, and I don't know what to do! I don't feel up to going through the entire training class, and then only having a couple of weeks before I'm due, plus if you miss more then one day of training, your gone, and with the heat, I have been having some problems with swelling, and the doctor says I need to make sure to take it easy when it gets bad. So I'm afraid I will not be able to keep up with the attendance policy! Plus, I would only be able to take off 6 weeks, before going back to work, unless there were complications, and somehow, I just can't hope for that, just to get more time off! And I was really hoping to have more time off before going back. The thought of leaving her after only 6 weeks, just about breaks my heart, and she isn't even here yet! I can't imagine how it will feel once she is here and trully a part of my life! DH doesn't want me to try for it, he remembers how scary it was when I was bleeding on a weekly basis, and I haven't had any of those problem since I lost my job. He also knows that right now I am only able to sleep for between 1 1/2-2 hours at a time, and that I take several short naps througout the day. So, I just don't know what to do. If the baby was already here, and I could go there part time, I would probably do it, but right now the thought of sitting in a stuffy classroom for 8 hours a day just doesn't send me, especially for the money they are offering.
Well, now that I've written a novel, I'll let you know if anything new comes up. Hope to hear from you all soon.
