still here

Well, it's been a while.  But i'm still here.  It's really funny--and not that funny at all--how quickly things can change. And by things I mean your life.  Everything.  One minute, say at 11:29 am on Friday, everything is going like it always does.  You're going through the motions, waiting for the next day to come, not realizing that in 60 seconds, the world is going to stop. And then it does.  And all of a sudden it's hard to remember what is was like before 11:30 slapped you in the face. 

My life--our lives--changed last week.  Steven was told that the company he had worked for since he was 15 no longer had a place for him.  I'm not going to get into reasons or blame or anger.  It's all there but it's not healthy.  Well, a little is.  But that's all I have to give right now--a little.  It's time to move on--to pick up and walk away and know that in the end he--and we--are better off.  And I know that we can do that because we have each other.  And we have friends and family that love and support us.  We will all lean on each other.  And we'll be ok. 

I just wanted to say that I haven't forgotten about what makes me happy.  Writing this blog is one of those things.  So I need it now. Plus I know that you are all just dying to know how my weight loss is going.  Never fear, my friends, weigh-in is tomorrow! 

My husband is another thing that makes me happy.  And even though I don't see him at work anymore, I do see him at home.  And that's where I need him the most.  Cleaning the kitchen liked I asked him to.  And loving me more evey day.

  2. Damn, I was beginning to think you'd roped us in, then forgot about us!
    You guys will be fine. Steven should have no problem finding a new job - he's got a great skill set & a wonderful personality that will seal the deal! You picked a real peach ;)
    And Tiffany is right, now you'll be even more excited to come home every day... heck, if I could get someone to come clean my kitchen, I'd be excited to come home too! :) See ya tomorrow night.
