The end of 2008

We were suppose to be going out tonight and ringing in 2009 at Bill and Amanda's. But instead we will be home as I am sick again. Sucks to start the year off with a cold, but what can you do. I just hope this will be out of my system for Alexis' wedding next week. So for now, I think I'll go take a nap, and try to sleep off this cold.

Happy 2009!!!!!!

One word for work today...

...DEAD

Bye Bye 2008

Christmas has come and gone. Mikey, Eric and Rachael came home for Christmas. We spent a lot of time hanging out with the whole family. It was nice to see everyone. I'm just sad, because I think this will be the last time we are all together for a really, really long time. But now everyone is back home safe getting ready for 2009 and Alexis's Wedding.

This year has been a pretty interesting year. It's been full of it ups and ALOT of downs. Our quest for a baby will continue into 2009. Now it looks like we have to go straight to a fertility specialist. But I still have some questions that my OB will need to answer. But the quest continues.

I'm amazed how quickly this year has gone by. I think back about all the things I wanted to do this year and realized that I didn't accomplish many of the things I wanted to. I promise myself that next year will be different and I will accomplish more then I did this year. I will make small goals and complete them and move on to the next thing when done.

This time next year, I want to look back and be proud of what I've accomplished in 2009. Instead of looking back and wondering how I let another year pass me by.

Roller Coaster of Emotion

The past 2 weeks have sent me on a roller coaster of emotions that you would not believe. Greg losing his job has changed the way I look at life and money in a way I never looked at it before. I'm thankful for the roof over my head, the clothes on my back and the food on my table. I realize how fortunate we've been to be able to buy the things that we have. We'd go shopping and pick up things and not worry about money. Today we look at every single dollar and wonder how to make it last. It amazes me how life as you know it can change in a second. We're grateful to have family and friends who love and support us. Times are tough, but I know we'll be okay. All we can do is take one day at a time right now. You never know what tomorrow will bring. You just have to hope for the best.

Almost Midnight

My GoD! I've not been awake this late in months!!! The past few weeks, I've been asleep by 9. Yes I know sad.

Happy B-Day Mom!!!

Today is my Mom's 60th Birthday. Happy Birthday Mom... I love you!

Freezing

Today it is 31 with a wind chill of about 12. It is the kind of cold that chills you to your bones. It's way too early for it to be this cold. It's not even winter yet! God help us!!!!

Round 2

Round 2 of this bug just kicked in. Good GOD will it ever go away? Enough already!

Web Sites

I'm bored looking at the same old websites day in and day out. I need some new ones to look at...any suggestions?????????

Trying to think positive

With being sick and now with the lovely news that we're down to one income...I'm trying to think positive. I'm hoping that if I do, good things will come our way. There are now thousands of folks looking for jobs. I'm just hoping with the networking we've done that someone will give Greg a chance.

Shitty Times

Well - the tick is done tocking.... DuPont cut all 4,000 contractors (one of them being Greg) and 2,500 actual employess. Shitty times for many folks today. I am scared to death...but can only pray things will get better. They must, they have too....Right????????????

Tick-tock!

I received some wonderful news Tuesday night from Greg. The product that his entire team has been working on has just been cut. More annoucments will be made in 10 days. Ummm.. yea... we see were this is going. No product usually means now work...which will probably mean bye, bye to Greg's job. Since then, I have been an absolute wreck. The fact that I am sick isn't helping things either. I'm mad at because they told his team that they had a budget until the end of 2009. They were making progress and then they drop this bomb. So right now I feel like our life is in slow motion. With the way the world is today, I have a very hard time beleving or trusting anyone. I feel like there is no safe place to be right now. Everyone is losing there jobs no matter where you turn. What the hell is happening? How come it's gotten this bad? Who can you trust? What can you do? I'm trying to stay positive but that is really, really hard with the way things are today. Will it ever get better?

Just when you think it can't get any worse....

It DOES!!!!

and no I'm not complaining about being sick

1:00 Tomorrow

Just called my doctors office and she had a 10:40 today - which I can't make. Then 1:00 tomorrow was her first appointment and I jumped on that one! The cough has kicked back up again and is kicking my ass. God help me.... please check on my throughout the day to ensure I am still breathing. I feel like I'm sucking air through a straw!

Getting worse

This bug that I've been fighting for over a week now has gotten worse. It has gone to my chest. Having a hard time breathing and the cough is just getting annoying. I thought this would be a bug I could fight on my own and would go away, but I've lost that battle. So I must call to see if I can get in to see my doctor sometime in the next few days. I have a bad feeling that I think she'll tell me I now have bronchitis, which is never fun for me. God I love this time of year!
