It has been a few years since my first and last post. Since then I did actually lose 40 pounds of loveable mommy fluff through weight watchers. Gosh a good deal of things have happened. First I left my job at the Credit Union and stayed home with my sons for 5 months while we tried to sell our home in Tuscaloosa and Matt was commuting to his job in Calera, AL. I loved staying home but we knew it was temporary and August '08 I started working at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama. Great company to work for and I hope I can move up the career path with this company for the rest of my working career. We bought our new home in Alabaster last spring and have become very happy living here in Alabaster.
Life throws us curve balls constantly though and Matt lost his job this past June '09. We pulled the boys out of day care and he has been the full time Daddy at home since. Now is not a fun time to be looking for a job but Matt stays pretty positive and has been a finalist in 3 really great jobs thus far. We know that the right job will come at the right time and just have to keep on keeping on.
Now to be honest on how I am handling this all. I am not. I am stressed to the max and guilty for different feelings that come about when you are the only one going to work daily. Matt has a special bond with the boys now from being with them all day that I miss out on. I am the first to get up and don't even see the boys until I get home pooped around 5:30pm every day. This has not helped my battle with the bulge either. Finances are stretched and I am just trying to survive. I am not a fan of the stay at home husband and would prefer my beloved to be out of the house working. He is a facebook junky these days bonding with the other stay at home people trying to remain connected to the outside world. I know it is tough on him too. I am just complaining a wee little bit and then I will get over it. Anyway that is all about the update. Oh I have taken up running. Ha ha. I will be doing my first 1/2 marathon This Valentine's Day here in Birmingham. More on that and my training later.
