Life is Like A Roller Coaster...Not A Box of Chocolates

For once...everything with the boys is settled and going good, however, I feel like the "reality devil" watches over me just to spring something bad on me just when it starts getting good. This week has been such an emotional one for me for many, many different reasons.

We got word a few days ago that after 22+ years of employment...my husband's job could be in serious jeopardy. We are trying very hard to hold on to each thread of hope, however it's not looking good. Tommy works for a municipality utility district (MUD) which has never been associated with the city. Now that his district is 99% full, the city is taking a bill to the legislature next month to take over the MUD. This means at least the top four people, which Tommy is one of, will most likely be out of a job. This is devastating for us as he is only 4 years away from retirement. I don't have to remind anyone about what an awful time it is to be looking for another job....and although he won't loose the money in his retirement fund..it will be 20 more years before he can collect from it. So, as you can imagine my stress level...along with all my other mental demons....is sky high.

Certainly a position that I would have never in a million years thought we would be in.....so now we just wait. I refuse to loose all hope....as I am just not a negative person...but it is very hard.

On a brighter note...because anything could be brighter....I am sooooo excited to be heading up to Denver today. I am so happy to be visiting my old, but very young looking, friend from high school. Brandi and I have not seen each other for at least 12 years, so this will be a very fun weekend of catching up. We do have an additional agenda...which is to finalize our 20th year class reunion for this summer.

So regardless..it sounds like the perfect remedy to my stress.
