Do I live at a theme park?

Because it seems like my life has become a roller coaster ride, up and down all the time.

Raymond lost his job today. Due to our current economic situation, his boss told him they could no longer afford him. So, what do you do when people can't afford you anymore? If anyone knows of someone needing a maintenance mechanic please let us know.

Luckily this job loss was not as hard on me as the last one was. I am hopeful that we will find something more permanent soon. I am grateful that he had the job while he did, I am also grateful that he wont be bringing home donuts any more, it is very hard to lose weight when he brings home another dozen every saturday.

I don't want to jinx myself so I will knock on wood as I type this, I don't think things can get too much worse so hopefully things will start looking up, of course I guess I could lose all of my teeth and have to become a recluse, j/k mom.

Six things about me,

1. I love both of my jobs. I absolutely loved being a sahm but when I had to go get a job I was lucky enough to get the best job in the world. I love my job. At first it was really hard being on my feet 12 hours straight, my feet hurt for about the first 3 weeks, now they are completely used to it and I can wear my croc wanabees or tennis shoes. I love that I only have to work 3 1/2 days a week so I still feel like I get to be a sahm during the rest of the week, plus even on the days that I do work I come home for an hour at a time, 3 times a day. So I still get to make my kids breakfast and lunch and pick my two oldest up from school and that makes me feel better about having to work.

2. I enjoy all types of craft stuff. I love to crochet and draw. I love doing ceramics, though I haven't done that since high school. I enjoy scrapbooking and I also like to sew custom decorative blankets, they aren't the best looking in the world but I like them. I am currently working on one for My mom and m-i-l.

3. I like learning about alternative medicine. I do not like rx medicines, they all have side effects and I just feel that people become too dependent on them. I am lucky enough to have 2 in-laws who have studied holistic healing extensively. My husbands grandmother has her docotorate in holistic healing and his uncle has studied for about 35 years. I still have a lot to learn about it, but I do get phone calls from several different people who ask me what they can take for a cold or how to increase their breastmilk. I have even been called a guru by Rochelle.

4. I used to have the cutest in-betweeny belly button and I just loved it. Now I have a deep dark cave. It is very ugly to look at and I try very hard to make sure no-one sees it. It stays a cave even through my 9th month of pregnancy. Kimi once wanted to do an uncovered belly pic of our bellies when She, Rochelle and I were all preggers at the same time and I refused simply because of my belly button.

5. I love pigs. I think they are sooo cute. I have always said that someday I will own a little black pot bellied pig and he will be named Ferdinand. I still plan on that, it will have to wait until I have a bigger home and more land, but someday it will happen.

6. I love bubble baths, it is the only time that I have to myself when I am home, even then I get the door knocked on at least 3 times every time I take one. I always think of the old calgon commercials when I am in there and they come knocking. "Calgon, take me away!!"
