everything happens for a reason.....

Anyone who may care, may notice I haven't made an entry in a while. It has been such a crazy week. Things turned upside down and then back right side up in practically the blink of an eye. Huh? Okay, let me elaborate just a little but prepare yourself as I may ramble on. (I am running on little sleep and serious stress here!) Lately my husband has been very fed up with his work. Like most people it would have good days and bad but lately it was just bad. By Thursday of last week he was done. Decided to resign from his position and find something else. First of all I would like to say, "WHAT!!!!!" Second of all "WHAT!!!!!" But let's not forget, "WHAT!!!!!" Oh Lord, what the **** has happened. One minute he is gainfully employed the next.......nothing. I was about to have a heart attack. But wait, all things happen for a reason, right? When the cookies crumble, get a glass of milk. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I know everyone had heard all of the cliches, but do they have to really be so true, so real? I mean does it really HAVE to pour when it rains? ABSOLUTELY NOT! So after the momentary panic and knee jerk reaction I shook myself off and figured it can't get worse. (Well it could, but I wont go there.) But since all things happen for a reason then this too can only mean there are better things for us. And so it is, not only better but more than that. In only a week my dear husband is not only starting a new job but a new job with an outstanding rate of pay to start, less commute and a much needed happier state of mind and soul. I am so PROUD of him for taking the chance and making the change. He has never been the aggressive type. Typically he is the peace maker and tries to avoid conflict if possible but sometimes you have to stand up for what is right and when you know you are getting the short end of the stick it is time to move on. So as another week is starting to wind down I am starting to breath a little easier, be a little less sick to my stomach, and hopefully will be able to sleep again. (Of course I have an infant so I think sleep is still out of the question on a regular basis!) Seriously though, as much as I like to give my husband a hard time telling him he could never stay at home with the kids all day I have to give him credit for his courage. After all we did promise to love one another, no matter what came our direction. So another test of our faith in each other and the strength of our bond had come and has gone and we will continue on. Only let's hope the path is a bit smoother......at least for a little while. You know, at least until the boys are done with college or something.............when I am SUPPOSED to have gray hair!
