Ever notice how life seems swing back and forth with good situations and then tough situations? I guess I have had a pity party long enough. I finally feel like we are in a bit of an upswing. Did I really say that out loud??? Yikes!
A corporate recruiter called Hub about a month ago regarding a position that it is more in his field. Since then he has had three interviews with this company; the last being with a vice president. Yesterday they called an old business colleague of his - that now works for this company - and asked him about Hub. The recruiter was trying to reach him yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, when Hub leaned down to kiss his still-sleeping, lazy wife, his phone fell out into the bed and was left at home. Now we have to wait until Tuesday since Monday is a holiday. Hub is really excited over this position. I hope it works out. He would have a lot more professional gratification and it should be more money. We should be able to get on a better family schedule again. We have been "ships passing in the night". He's off when we are in school and vice versa. (He has been helping more around the house on those days because he gets lonesome. I will miss that!) At every interview though, he was asked if he would relocate after training. Of course we will, but rather not. I hate to think of possibly moving farther away until my son is back with us and he definitely cannot leave the state until July 2010. Keep this situation in your prayers.
We are going to go visit our son tomorrow. I'm anxious to see him. He wrote his dad that he didn't look so good right now. That's never a good thing. He is living in such a different universe. I have had people in the state office tell me that, too. He's so young. I just don't want him to get use to that being the norm.
My newest neighbors came home from the hospital after only one week and one day. They are so beautifully perfect. I went over to see them and when new daddy came to the door, he looked like he was holding a Subway sandwich. That is how big they are. They are now about 4-1/2 pounds each and they were so beautiful! I just kept staring. I'm really happy for the parents and can't wait to spend more time with the babies. I took them blue and pink baby Bibles with their names on them and some preemie diapers. (Those looked like eyeglass wipes.)
Our younger son was at a birthday sleepover last night so Mom & Dad had a welcomed night to themselves. We had a leisurely dinner at a seafood restaurant. We had thought about going to a movie but we got a late start and lingered so long over dinner that we decided to just come home and watch TV in bed. As my MIL once said, "A good time was had by all."
I'm in the middle a a four-day weekend. I was suppose to work Friday but it was a student holiday and without them, I don't have as much work. Also, there were some office switching going on and I figured that I would probably just be assigned the grunt work. I've done my share so I decided to take a personal day instead. Yea, Me! I have a hard time not helping and then sometimes get mad at myself.
Have a great weekend. Thank you for sharing your lives with me and letting me share with you. Think happy thoughts!
Later.

Ooooh! A new job! That's awesome! I'm happy for you guys even if it means you have to move.
2010?! How long was he sentenced to serve? Don't y'all have that law in place where you get released after 2/3 of your sentence? You may need to explain this all to me a bit better.
I do the SAME THING! I say I'll help with something, take on too much then get irritated. LOL! Women! hahah!
I hope you have a great visit with your boy.
I think of you often, especially about your son. I pray that he is maturing and has hope that his life can change for the better. I pray, too, for peace for you and your family. It can be a fleeting thing.
I hope that your husband gets the job he wants and needs. If you have to move, you will find a way to continue to connect with your son. Mothers always do.
