Overwhelmed and Excited...

Two extremes...I am so completely overwhelmed that I don't have enough time in the day to do what needs to be done, both at work and at home...and incredibly excited, because Jimmy's clearance came through and he got a start date for his new job!!

So he will now have a FT job with benefits, paid vacation, paid sick leave and REGULAR HOURS!! I am so excited this finally came through for him, I just hope he really likes working there as much as I do. Gosh I hope so. But now things can start rolling...we will have enough money to do things we have been wanting to do to the house etc, and no more worrying if he will make enough bar tending. Life will be so much more relaxed, I just hope he is happy. He says he is now, but I need to give the job a few weeks before I will really be able to tell if he is happy.

Now to the overwhelming part. I have to teach a block tomorrow, I finished up my PowerPoint about 5 minutes before I rushed out of work to get home to take care of the dogs and make up dishes for tailgating at the UMD v. WVU football game tomorrow. Then I got a baby shower gift for a lady at work (who doesn't even work with us, but her husband does...everyone at our work is so generous and nice) and I don't even know her, I do barely know the husband, but with being pregnant and all, I figured I'd send a gift even though I can't attend the shower, I am sure she will do the same for me when the time comes. Then I had to go and get Jimmy a body pillow like I promised. I have been sleeping with one, since it has been the only way I have been able to fall asleep now that I am not supposed to be sleeping on my stomach - which I have my entire life - and while I was away at the beach last weekend, Jimmy slept with my pillow and loves it, so I said I'd get him one. So I did that and got this fuzzy wand thing to clean out our dryer vent.

Oh and there are still MILLIONS of things that I need to do at work for the next 2 weeks of class and at home to make our house look presentable. AND clean out the basement as we got our quote back from the contractor and hopefully we will have the framing up and completed by the end of September, which will be a HUGE step in the right direction.

I am going out of town for the next 3 weekends though...so no time to spend doing things around the house unless it is during the week nights. Which I will do...but I am starting up reffing dodge ball in 2 weeks too, so that will be one or two nights out of the week...but it will be money for the basement. What to do, what to do.

Jimmy is taking off 3 full days in between quitting his job at the gym and taking the new job, so hopefully he can get some things done around the house that we have been trying to do. Like get the boards put up in the attic that are currently sitting in the middle of our dining room floor!!

Something exciting did happen at work yesterday...someone who didn't know I was pregnant came up to me and asked me if I was!! I am so happy that you can finally tell a little bit that I am actually pregnant. Don't know why that makes me so happy but it does. :)

Ok, now it is way past my bed time. I needed to be in bed at like 9:30 I have to be at work extra early to review my slides for my class...eh...

Sorry to rant...thanks for listening...

Until then...

Adios :)
