Happy Fucking Birthday to Me!

yeah, I guess I'm a little bitter..LOL!

So we went to the Steeler game on Sunday for my birthday and got a room in Pittsburgh and had an AWESOME time. I'm so glad that we went because it will be our last hoorah for a while! We both took Monday off to spend the day together. My DH bought me a new Garmin Forerunner for Marathon Training, which was super sweet of him!

Then things proceeded to turn bad quickly. First, Brayden got really sick Monday which a high fever and vomiting. We decided that we were going to split a vacation day because he obviously couldn't go to daycare. I decide to stay home in the morning. DH goes to work and the whole department is gone! His boss, his bosses boss, the secretary, etc. We knew that Monday was D-Day and that there were going to be layoffs but were somewhat confident that he wasn't going to be one of them.

WRONG!!!!!! So that was the shocker for the day. I know that we will cope, we have been through this before with the same damn Corporation! I hate Corporate America. I wish he would open his own business, I'm tired of dealing with this shit.

I haven't run yet this week, but am hoping too tomorrow. I am just a little depressed right now and just don't feel like it. DH wants me to go ahead with the Marathon. I haven't registered for it yet (wanted to see how training went) but don't know if I should be spending $95 on a marathon right now, ya know? But I will probably end up doing it.

Oh no, Kelly! So Sorry to hear about the layoff!

My recommendation: run the marathon. The training is great stress relief.

I was laid off before I got my current job, for 9 months. (fingers crossed I don't get cut in the current "restructuring"). I trained for and ran a marathon while I was laid off, and I'm glad I had that to look forward to during that time. Hopefully, your hubby will find something else quickly (or start his own business!).

Enjoy the Garmin, you're gonna love it!

Sorry about that Kelly! It sucks! At least train for the marathon. It'll be something else to keep you focused.

Good luck to DH.
