Hard to Stalk
So i finally checked facebook after a while, *coughtwomonthscough* and realized that i am in fact quite hard to stalk. My apologies luvs, I didn't want to have a long post of whining and frankly the last few months haven't been the happiest.
To give the brief breakdown here's the shit hitting the fan:
-I got fired...for being pregnant! Currently I am in the midst of working with the EEOC and the State to investigate Borders, and hopefully give them a boot to the head for being stuck in the 1940's.
-Tim and I realized there is no way in hell we can afford a house and baby at this point in our lives, so we are currently searching for new residence. Money has been viciously tight, despite applying to everything from here to Valhalla, the job market in Eastern CT is abyssmal even more so for someone who can only work a couple months before needing maternity leave.
-Had a terrible case of writers block and subsequent depression from loss of job, and everything else.
Here is me cleaning the shit off the fan:
-Okay we are getting life back on track. Its kinda scary not knowing where the hell we are gonna be in three months, except that we will be parents whether we are ready for it or not. I did not plan on starting a family this soon out of college, but after seeing the little guy on the screen it kinda changes a person's perspective. We are having a son. He's healthy, everything looks normal despite earlier scares, I'm 31 weeks and he weighs 4 lbs!!! I'm praying this does not mean he weighs 12lbs when he comes to term or I and my vagina shall be slightly annoyed.
We picked out a name: Malcolm Rhys Wells.
-Tim has quit Foxwoods, and enrolled into a CNA program, which guarentees a better salary and better hours. Its risky stuff, money is still pretty tight but CNA are in high high demand so chances for him getting employment are excellent no matter where we are in the state.
-We have found friends in Niantic who are willing to rent us a room for half of what we are paying now, all expenses included. They have twin boys just about to turn 2. The boys are named after historic figures. This greatly amuses me. It makes me miss Jess beast terribly because for some reason its something i think she would get a kick out of. That and the fact we get together every Saturday to play D&D. Oh yes, i continue to party hardy out of college
-I found a side "job" as a baby sitter. I have never actually baby sat before as i grew up in the sticks where no children venture. Now i Baby Sit a 1 year old boy named Beckhem, who would be a complete freaking terror if he wasn't so damned adorable. I don't work a great deal, but I'm the only person who answered the add for the crazy hours (6am-8am) and it gives me some experience caring for wee ones. And I bring in some extra money on the side which makes me feel not as useless.
-Slowly but surely I'm breaking back into writing. Still fighting through this ridiculous depression, but I firing up myself as best as I can. Actually managed to finish a few essays here and there. My goal is to get back into writing full swing through April so I can start feeling my oncoming carpal tunnel again. I do so miss the pain.
And life continues on, just as it always manages to do when you aren't looking. In two months, I'll be a mom. In five or six months, I plan to punt Tim into school. We have collectively decided he's going to enroll in a nursing program and starts his prereqs this fall. In the coming year, I plan to get a handle on this parenting thing, continue to attempt this writing thing, possibly get a decent paying job on the side, and start looking at low residence grad schools. I want to get my MFA, eventually, even if thats five years down the line. As always i miss the peeps. I see Anna once in a while, need to track Heather down, and hopefully I'll get to see a few people here and there before D-Day.
