It's okay. It's a job, I don't really love it, but I probably won't be happy until I'm at home holding my own child. My boss, let's call him G, is a believer of figuring things out for yourself rather than being trained, while I would prefer proper training first. I ask him questions and his answer is "figure it out for yourself. When I was in law school I had to figure things out for myself." And I would love to answer "yes, and that's why I'm not going to law school, thanks." It's a little annoying, but you'll have that. I can't complain, it's 7 miles away, and I only have to work 20 hours/week. It's a laid back job, G is flexible and he knows the family, after all it was Mr. Skinny's grandma who told me about the position. It's interesting enough, just not what I'd like to be doing all day long. I'm getting the hang of it, but it will probably take a while until I'm really comfortable in the position.
Secondly. The Harry Potter movie. It. Was. Phenomenal. Honestly. As a true Harry Potter nerd, I loved this movie. I've accepted that the movies and the books are different and are going to be different, but this movie followed the book pretty closely. After just re-reading the books over the last month, it was fresh in my mind. There were some things that I wished they focused on, and parts I thought they were going to change, but happily, they didn't. It was a tear jerker for real and I'm glad that I had tissues. I went to the midnight release with my brother, his ex girlfriend, and her cousin. It's a pretty awkward situation, so I'm glad I had my iPhone to keep me busy for those few awkward hours.
Next is the weekend update. Friday my aunt, two of her kids and their spouses, and all my little cousins. Baby fever hit again, of course, but this time Mr. Skinny actually told me to toss my birth control. He's ready to start our family! This was a huge surprise to me, and while he was okay with starting our family in the next few years, I really didn't think that it would be quite this soon. I've written on this a bit, but after Mr. Skinny's grandfather died in February, I felt like it was our time to start trying, I don't know why, but I just felt like it was time. I knew I had to graduate, I tried to find a job, blah blah blah. Now that I couldn't really find a job and Mr. Skinny has a rather good time, it's time. I spent a good chunk of time this morning praying about it, and after a long and serious talk last night with Mr. Skinny, I really feel at peace with our decision to start trying in the next few months. I feel like this is what we're supposed to do. So for right now, no one I know in real life knows, and we're not planning on telling anyone just in case we get some "you're not ready" comments. This is a decision between me, Mr. Skinny, and God.
Graduation party went well, but now I know that we aren't going to have a ton of parties with both families, it was awkward and no one talked. Sunday we were on the boat all day and wow, am I sore from that!
Anyways, that's some exciting news, right?
I have a question for you readers now. Would you prefer that I kept this blog, changing the name slightly since I'm obviously going to be going on the road opposite of skinny when I'm pregnant, or should I start another blog for baby makin'? What do you think? Would you keep reading a baby makin' blog?
I love the idea of reading a baby-making blog! You should see if that name is taken :)
ReplyDeleteI would definetly keep reading! and congrats on the decision to start trying!
