Update

Just home from walking Little Man to school and then walking back with Baby Girl in the stroller.

Father's Day went OK yesterday... Little Man was with Hv1.0 but when Little Man got home on Sunday he gave Hubs the present that he made for him at school.

Took Hubs out for wings & it was Baby Girl's first time on a patio

Went out to my parents' grave to pay respects

Little Man with his gift & letter

What the letter says.

Thursday, June 16, 2011
Dear Dad,

Thank you for letting me do what I want to do.
You're so smart because you know math.
I remember when you first met me and my Mom when I was 4.
I hope you do good in your job.
I will always play with you.

Hubs is at his first day at the new job today and I hope it goes really well!

At 11:30 a.m. I will be at the cardiologist getting fitted with that event monitor I've previously mentioned.

Here's hoping it's not too complicated.

Have a great day!

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I didn't post sooner but we were busy with the kids this wkend...

HE STARTS ON THE 20th!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are very excited about this... the pay could be better but if he proves himself - he'll get a raise.  And it's here in town -- which is much better than the temp work he did for over a week which he STILL hasn't been paid for because they withhold the first 2 wks and he apparently started *during* a pay week so he won't get paid for that job until possibly this Friday (aka WAYYYYY after he did the work).  That will be the last time he does anything for PIC!

On Thursday, Son aka Little Man completed EQAO testing at his school and then we picked him up early to drive out of town to pick up Step-Daughter aka Rhyme Girl.  We spent some time with Hubs' parents and then on the way home stopped in Newcastle at this small rocky beach and took some photos.

 

 

On Saturday I attended a family wedding shower and discovered that a recent pregnancy-related dream was accurate and that I am going to be a great-Aunt AGAIN in Jan 2012.

Right now I have a great-nephew and a great-niece with one of unknown gender on the way (due in July) via my oldest niece. BTW, I think she's having a girl.

I have one great-nephew, who is involved with the foster care system, via my next-to-youngest niece so I have never met him.

And I now have a great niece or nephew to be via my oldest nephew and his fiancee :>

BTW - these ones are all via my adoptive family. I do have much younger nephews and a niece via my half-brother.

Also emailed soul sister C. because I had a pregnancy dream about her too.

We'll see if anything comes of that one.

Keep the good vibes coming!!!

The hiring decision for the job Hubs interviewed for last week should be made by Friday and when Hubs called to follow up, he was told that he'd be informed either way.

When I was a retail store manager, I would only tell the best candidates that I would let them know either way and the others, I would thank for coming in and inform them that I'd be making my decision by a certain date.

I *really* hope he gets this job. 

Now, onto cuteness...

Baby Girl loves Lady Gaga - I also have her dancing to Britney but that's not uploaded yet...

Send good vibes for Hubs tomorrow!

Hubs has a job interview tomorrow afternoon - actually in 20.5 hrs from now.

Please send good vibes.

And speaking of good vibes -- I took my birth Mom to her mammogram appointment today and she had a bone density scan on Monday. 

It's all part of following up on her since her mastectomy almost 12 years ago -- but because of what happened with my Mom H. -- it still freaks me out.

Asking for the guidance of the Universe

As you know, Hubs has been out of work for quite awhile.

His employment insurance ends at the end of April. Then we are screwed financially.

He has been applying for jobs but hasn't had any luck getting a job.

We've talked about his attitude and his moodiness and on him working on putting positivity into the universe so that good things come to him.

It's really getting down to brass tacks here.

Neither of us have ever made a lot of money. I've always worked retail, so even when I worked in FT management positions, I never made as much hourly as he has with his years in car parts or even in his warehouse experience.

As well, I am more in tune with the kids needs, so to speak.

Because we live in geared-to-income housing, we are able to survive with one person working (though it's not like living in luxury by any means).

In the past, when he was out of work and I was still working (albeit part-time) things got pretty stressful between us because of my anxiety and panic plus the fact that Hubs and Son are surprisingly alike in some of their more aggravating personality traits which makes it challenging for them to get along when I am not around.

*sigh*

So, basically, I am opening myself to the Universe in the wish and hope that the answer(s) will appear in a way that cannot be ignored.

That ideal employment will present itself and be taken on ASAP.

That it will all happen for the good of all involved.

Any and all good vibes will be accepted and appreciated.
