Reflecting

That has been what I have been doing lately. I've been reflecting on life. I've been reflecting on where I want to be, and where I want to go. Hubster is still jobless, but he is at least working at a temp job for now. It is supposed to end on Friday, but it looks promising that they might keep him on for some other projects for a little longer. He also has a job interview on Thursday. That job would be semi-permanent. It is for a project that is expected to last nearly 2 years. The pay on that one is more than he made at his last job, so saying prayers and crossing our fingers that something will pan out. It isn't doing what he likes to do though, but he will do it. He wants to go back to school and get a degree in criminal justice. He wants to be a police officer. At least that is what he wants to be at this moment in time. It will probably change in a few weeks or months. He has been talking about switching branches or even rates when his contract expires in June. I don't care what he does really. I just want things done.

I've been worried about how we are going to do Christmas. We haven't seen a paycheck in 3 weeks, so we are now behind on every thing. It isn't a fun experience, and it about kills me to know that Christmas is just around the corner, and it doesn't look good.

I did get to go out with some friends a couple of Saturdays ago. We went and saw Red and ate at BJ's. We had a good time as usual, but next get together is in January. We are going to do a day of it instead of the evening.

Hubster and I are coming up on our anniversary. Don't know if we are going to get to do any thing. It is going to depend on the job situation. I'm hoping that we get to.

It has been a month

and I'm actually going to post something. Life around here has been hectic to say the least. The weight loss is still going down, but it isn't going down as quickly. I had only lost 6.5 pounds since my last fill. I was disappointed in myself, and he told me not to be. That I had lost weight, and I didn't gain. I've just got to get back on the right track. That is me saying that. I still averaged a weight loss of a pound a week.

We went to California a few weeks ago. That was a great trip up until the end when his father decided to create a bunch of drama. It is to the point, that I don't know if we will ever see him again. I know I won't see him again. I've washed my hands of the man. I will not stop Hubster from seeing him if he so chooses. His grandma cried when she saw us at her surprise party. She had no idea that we were coming out. Every few minutes she would walk up and hug one of us. She kept asking if we were really there. It was a great time. It really was.

Hubster lost his job last Friday. It seems to be a blessing in disguise. He talked to one of the guys he was working with, and they are only working every other week. He can make more money drawing unemployment than doing that. He had a job interview yesterday, and he has another one this morning. Hopefully something pans out soon. The stress is going to do me in. I hate having all of this stress in my life. I will start looking for work next week. He can stay at home with the kids while I work, and he draws unemployment. That is what we are hoping for any way. I'm hoping it doesn't come down to that.

I'm a huge Texas Ranger fan. I've watched them since I was 14. I've loved them the entire time, and this year I was so excited to see them make it to the World Series. They certainly deserved it. They seem to be a class act. I can't wait till next year.
