So wow.
Sorry I haven't been posting. It's been 5 months almost and a lot has been going on. I feel like I have funny stories to tell but I should just do a recap for this post.
So here goes.......
I still like my job but, as with anything, the new & shiny is starting to wear off. But it really is going good. I've gotten 2 raises already. I also got offered a promotion! So that was exciting even though I didn't take it. WHAT?! I know right? We sat down and talked about it and I just felt like there were things I could learn as an assistant still. Thankfully the big boss was cool with that and said the offer stands and that we will talk about it again after the first of the year.
Woah, that's like grown up shit right there.
I'm still not smoking! August 17 was my 1 year anniversary. Go me! But I did gain back all of the weight that I lost last year so now I have to start working on that again.
Peanut started kindergarten 2 weeks ago. So far he likes it. However, he is already giving me shit about doing homework. Already!? He also started regular tea kwon do. No more little kids class for him. He's loving it.
Basically I've just been staying busy with the new job, school starting, going back to the gym, etc.
There is one more thing going on that I saved for last because it's shitty- My Brother in law is dying of bone cancer. So we've been spending a lot of time with him at home or at the hospital depending on where ever he is that day.
J and I have been talking a lot about how we're going to explain the situation to Peanut. He knows uncle Tom is sick with cancer, (we explained that he had cancer and was not just normal sick because we didn't want peanut to worry that he was going to end up in the hospital every time he got regular sick) but pretty soon we are going to have to decide if we should explain that uncle Tom is dying or just wait and then talk about it afterward. I think it will be easier if we just wait but........... I don't know. It's going to be hard. They are very close, Peanut was born on Tom's birthday, Tom is peanut's godfather, it just sucks.
Well, ending on bad news sucks but I need to go get ready to go to the hospital so I'll have another post soon. Don't worry this time it won't be 5 months in the making.
