What a day!

Hello my avid readers of all things interesting!

Well, what a week!  And it all started 2 days ago.....

It was day like any other. I had scheduled an appointment for some blood work because I wanted to check something out. That was at noon. When I came back everyone is talking in hushed, and not so hushed, tones that 50 people in my building were getting permanently laid off. This of course had  me nervous. For a while I thought I had managed to stay out of the conversation; and then my bosses pulled me into the office. "We're sorry to inform you...." Long story short, I have no job in 60 days. Now this would normally be a stressful time worthy of a freak out, but I was in shock. But hold onto your shorts boys and girls, it gets better. About 15 minutes later I call my doctor's office for the results....."Congrats! You're pregnant!"  <picks jaw off the floor>

Well, it's 2 days later. Suffice to say my whole world is changing, and fast! What's a person to do? Freak out? Condemn the world as a cruel place? Run screaming to the Looney bin?  Naw. Yes this sucks for timing, but you know what? I'm pregnant. That makes me happy. I plan on staying happy. I have a great saying I found that I keep at my desk (talk about coincidence). "Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die." Given, I have a husband and I can get on his insurance so I'm not as bad off as a lot of the other people, but there is still a lot of uncertainty in my life.  But instead of complaining about my horrible luck it gives me a chance to re-evaluate my life. What is important? Money? Family? Exercise?  All important to varying degrees, but now it's time to see how it all fits together in this new life.  And WITH this new life! Diapers, here we go again!

Stay tuned to see how this new chapter unfolds,
