Lots of huggles! Just remember that your degree isn’t wasted, you use it every day! It’s what helps to keep you interesting to your husband and helps in raising Chloe. I graduated with a three part major in Literature, Fine Art and Theatre; it took 12 years to complete and I haven’t used it out in the business world. I’m lucky enough to be an at home mum and I think me boyohs have benefitted from that. They are strait A students and participate in music and theatre, are avid readers, have vocabularies that most 13 year olds do not, are artistic and creative, and spectacular in math (‘tho they got that from their brilliant dad, not mum 😀 ) Hang in there darlin’! Life has it’s seasons and cycles and this too, shall pass… Experience is all for the good. Hope things are going better!

Well, everything seems to be calming down at school now. I get nauseous in the mornings because I am nervous, but other than that I am doing ok. I think that reading your encouragement and stories helped a lot. My biggest stress now is that I am lucky if I see my husband for a few hours a week-seriously. If he is not working, I am working, and that is most of the time. I also get stressed because his dispatcher will say “Oh, you don’t have to work this weekend,” and then the next afternoon, “Oh, I am sorry but you are the ONLY driver to run this route, so you’ll be gone from Thursday to Sunday.” That is what just happened now. We were planning on going to some popular strip malls out East of Iowa, and spend a whole day out there just the three of us (Chloe included). I was looking forward to it so much, after all, it is the perfect stress reliever for me at the moment, and we would have had a blast…but NOOOO…work, work, freaking work. :shout: 😡 I was so mad, but I didn’t take it out on KC. I told him to claim that his car broke down, but he is an honest guy and won’t lie to his job. But he’ll hide about the hidden chocolate stash that he has lol
On top of everything else….do you remember my sister-in-law, Carol? She is the one who had Mallory, the baby in the NICU. Well, she was about 17 weeks pregnant with her second child, and today she had a miscarriage. I am worried about her getting depressed, because she has been treated for that in the past. We don’t know what caused the miscarriage, but I am wondering if it had something to do with the fact that her blood pressure was 130/100 or higher and that she was on a super high dosage of blood pressure meds.
Is it possible for a human being to blow up? 🙄
Oh hun! I can’t say much with about all of this other than treasure what time you can spend with your husband and child. As a former (I can say former!) Army wife I totally understand the bit about having plans for the weekend suddenly thrown to the wind due to superiors saying “Oh you don’t have this weekend off after all”. *Hugs* And I’m sorry to hear about Carol’s miscarriage.
I’m so sorry to hear about Carol’s miscarriage. I am surprised she tried again so soon after Mallory. She really needs to give her body a rest, they recommend at least 2 years between high risk pregnancies, that gives your body recovery time and rebuilding of calcium, etc. Also in her case it would give her time to get her blood pressure issues under better control.
If they really want another child right away and carrying to term is going to be so high risk and difficult, perhaps they should consider a surrogate, that would likely be their best bet for another biological child and it would increase their chances greatly of having a healthy child. Something to consider.
Anyway, that is very sad. Lately there has been a series of really sad events. A friend of mine just had a family friend who was like a sister just die suddenly from a blood clot caused from her pregnancy, her baby is only 4 months old. Some other friends just had their premature daughter die after surviving for a month, they are devastated and as this child was their one chance at a child, it is even more tragic. A friend at work just had to move to Calif suddenly because his ex-wife died from cancer and he needs to take care of his 7 and 10 year old. What the heck is going on lately??
