Getting Back To Normal

I'm so excited right now, that I'm in RED....my favorite color.  The season finale of "The Glades" is on...in one minute.  ONE MINUTE!  Have you ever seen this show?  It's in its first season and it's been picked up for a second season.  I LOVE IT!  Next to Cougar Town, it's my next favorite show.  However, The Glades actor Matt Passmore.  He plays a detective and he's freakin HOT! 

Anyhow, let me get back to what I've been talking about the last couple of weeks.  I'm seriously feeling better today.  I've been pulling myself away from people who I feel are "toxic" in my life.  In doing that I have alienated myself from, well, almost everyone in my family and even many of my friends.  I felt better on the inside, but I felt really bad on the outside.  Does that make sense?

I was having a dilema over my jobs.  I felt like Scott already had an opinion and that I couldn't talk to him.  And that left me with nobody else to talk to.  I tried to talk to Beth a couple of times, but with 7 kids between us and busy schedules....it didn't work out.  It's ok though.  I know she would offer me some great advice that would help me feel better...because that's the kind of friend she is.  :)

Scott and I talked about all oft this a couple days ago.  He had to work on Saturday and when he got we talked mroe about this whole mess with my jobs.  I'd been upset and crying for nearly two weeks.  I'm sure he'd had enough as well.  So, I told myself to suck it up and just talk to him about it.  When I did, an amazing thing happened.  He listened to everything I had to say...without interruption.....again!  And he helped me make a plan of action, and boy do I feel better. 

I already know that I have a great husband, but he out-did himself!  And for the first time in a long time, I had a really great weekend.  We hung out, threw on some barbeque, and drank beer!  We found Little Kings at Pauly's and I was so excited.  I haven't had a Little King in like 24 years...or so.

Today, we were going to go do some running around and decided to just stay home and hang out.  We cleaned out the camper, put some ribs and chicken in the smoker, and just enjoyed the day. 

I'm not sure how things will turn out with work.  Right now, I don't need to work.  It's extra help for things like groceries, birthday and Christmas gifts, going out to dinner.  Stuff like that.  I work to make sure that we are keeping out debt under control and paying somethings off early.  So I'm not going to worry about work anymore.  I'm just going to see what happens and not worry about it.  Right now, I have two good jobs and I'm not going to let myself get so upset over work.  I split my Monday last week so I had friday off....and that really seemed to help me catch up on my rest and my laundry.

So for now, life is A-OK!
