Ramblings of a bored unemployed 31 weeker.

September 30, 2009

So I got my severance pay today.  And since I manipulated a few things, I got almost all of it.  Which means it stretches out to 3 paychecks instead of 2.  So now, I am working on the budget of all budgets!  Keeping in mind, that we still have to buy the car seat before [...]

I wonder, does C-Dub think the noose is tightening around his neck?
It seems like lately, he can’t wait to get out of the house.  I mean, all week long, he works late.  Then, Friday night he tells me that he is going out for a drink with one of his friends.  The friend who was [...]

31 weeks

September 25, 2009

Today I am 31 weeks.
Yay for us!
What IN:
Flu Shot: Yes, I got one today at my local Walgreens.  Do you know they make you bring in a note from your doctor saying it’s alright for you to get one?  Well, it didn’t hurt at all, and I took some Tylenol afterwards to get rid of [...]

Strangely Defeated

September 24, 2009

Today I had the unfortunate experience of going to the unemployment office and filing for unemployment. 
Can I just say what a miserable place that is?
No one was happy, hardly anyone smiled.
The employees were either very rude, condescending, or just plain unfriendly. 
I got there at the crack of dawn, before they opened.  It still took me [...]

rain rain go away….

September 22, 2009

I meant to post something yesterday, but I was too busy building my ark to try to float out of Atlanta.
Raining cats and dogs isn’t even the word for it! If you have been following the news, you know what I’m talking about.  No one can get anywhere here, because even the highways are flooded [...]

ICLW

September 21, 2009

Welcome all ICLW people!
Just a small recap if you are just returning from last month or if this is your first visit.
I am 30 weeks pregnant with my first baby after a miscarriage last November.
I got laid off from my job last Monday.  At 29 weeks 3 days.
I can’t get another job right now because…….
I”M [...]

A Tour.

September 20, 2009

We went on a tour at the hospital I am going to deliver at.  C-Dub thought this was crazy for a variety of reasons:
It’s Sunday.
Football is on.
It’s raining cats and dogs outside.
And last but not least, I used to work there.
Yes, it does sound a bit crazy that I would want to tour a place [...]

30 weeks

September 18, 2009

First off, I’d like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.  They really mean a lot to me and reminds me why I love my bloggy friends.
30 weeks down.
10 weeks to go.
The beginning of the home stretch.
I wish I had less time.  I wish I had more time.
It’s a conundrum.
I’m in a better place [...]

September 17, 2009

I admit to being slightly depressed.
I remember after my miscarriage, I felt this overwhelming despair.
I’m getting close to it now.
This happened when I sat down and actually calculated how much money we need every month vs how much we are actually going to have.
There is not enough.
We were still recovering from C-Dub’s 6 month layoff . [...]
