I have achieved day 300!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost can't believe it and have to pinch myself. Now, day 365 will be the really BIG one for me.
My eldest daughter quit 45 days ago and I can only hope it's because of my influence. Who knows, but I'd like to think so anyway.
So, here's my latest news ... some good, some not so good.
Yesterday, we had a "reveal" party for youngest (Jessica) pregnant daughter. She had the doctors share the sex of the baby with me and her sister about a month ago requesting that we keep it a secret until this meet and greet of all both families. So, Melissa (my eldest) got a jack in the box and put little girl clothes on it to signify that she' having a little girl. At halftime yesterday, everyone gathered around to watch Jessica and Sean (her husband to be) turn the crank until the jack in the box popped open. It was SO MUCH FUN to see the sheer surprise and excitement on their faces. Truly a memorable moment. We all cried ... The new addition to the family will be named Victoria June ... She'll call her Tory and June is for respect of her paternal grandmother who passed away a year after Jessica was born. What a lovely, fitting tribute.
Bad news ... I've lost my job. After almost 9 years I have been a victim of downsizing and my last day is 11/30. I'm too young to retire and the job market is dire, so with that in mind, I am asking all of you to please send up two (2) prayers ... one for my daughter and her little one who arrives around March 26, 2016 and one for me that I may find a lucrative job quickly that I will love.
Isn't it something how life gives you ups and downs. Great joys, great sorrows, great expectations, and great pitfalls. It's all what you make it and I prefer to be POSITIVE than negative. I am joyful and distressed at the same time ... ying and yang.
Stay the course my friends!!
