A JOB!!!!

G got a job! a great job! the job he really really wanted. I am so happy for him, for us. G starts on Monday. I have cut my hours, but I will continue working. For me, for us. I found an amazing nanny for just three hours a week. That is all we need. Then my neighbor will watch B for three hours a week. The rest of the time B will be with me or G. It is going to work out just great!
We had an incredible time in Boston. So much to say... will show pics and stories soon.
G and I are taking it one day at a time... each day seems better.
Life is good.

Quick Update

B and I are off to Beantown to visit Kerry and kids. I cannot wait.!!!!
we will also be seeing my sis and her kids too. I love New England in the fall.
Kerry says it will be perfect, our timing for the visit... I am so excited.

G had a second interview this morning with a company here in Seattle.
He really really wants the job. This is the first job in the 10 months of
unemployment he has felt this way about... I hope he gets it... for so many
reasons. It is a great job, good money and family friendly. Plus it is here
in seattle. We will see.

I am off to work. Tomorrow a preschool field trip to a pumpkin patch, then work...
and thursday the plane.
More updates next week.
Love to you all!

One Step at a Time

One day at a time... one step at a time.
The 9th was our actual anniversary. While B was at preschool,
G and I went for a walk. We sat by the canal and talked. I cried.
we connected a bit. We opened up a lot. One little bit at a time.
Time will help - no matter what road we take.

So Much to say...

... and no time to say it.
I never know how much to open up here on my blog. So much is happening in my life, so much I have not shared. But I think I will try right now.
G and I are really struggling. I mean, really struggling. Our marriage is on borrowed time. We have our anniversary tomorrow. 7-years. We have been together for over 9-years. We are so disconnected. So grown apart. Last weekend we went away for an overnight trip - the first such trip since before B was born. It was horrible. I did not want to go. Did not want to connect.
we came home and fought after too. I needed to decide if I wanted to try to make it work. I mean really give G a chance. I decided to do that. We are going to a new counsellor on Saturday... this is the beginning of our journey. I owe it to everyone: myself, G and B to really try... and I will.
G has been unemployed for 10 months now. I head to work full time ( now I am parttime) once I get back from Boston on the 25th. I cashed in my 401K money to pay the rent for the next 10 months. It is all scary and not fun.
There is so much more to say... but I have to stop. I promise the next blog update will not take me a month.
miss you all!
