This Christmas

This year, has been a crazy year. Pretty good for our first year of wedded bliss. Definitely not a dull moment. Hard, yes.

This economy has been kicking our butts lately. Right now, I am holding down 2 jobs at the moment. I work at Belk part time, and I freelance at the Dallas Morning News. I am exhausted. Lucky to have a day off to relax. My husband, is still unemployed. While he gets little cash paying super temporary jobs once in a blue moon, nothing yet permanent. I wish the plumbing industry was as stable as it was a couple of years ago. But I hate that the times have changed. He will apply to dozens of companies a week, but the work is slow coming, and companies just aren't hiring. Obama, do you hear this? The economy isn't getting any better. Where are these jobs you say are out there?

Ok. End of that rant.

I am grateful I at least have a couple of jobs to bring in some money. I'm just tired. That's all. And I am grateful that I have my in-laws living with us, because they help out more than they know.

Another thing I am grateful for is my health. For the longest time... since, maybe the beginning of the year, I have been visited by good old mother nature not once a month, but ongoing for months and months and months. I thought nothing of it. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome, a condition where I have tiny cysts on my ovary, which causes my system to be irregular, hormones going at the wrong ends of everything. So I thought it was that, nothing to worry about, right?? Well... a couple months ago, it got worse. Not to go into too much detail on here, but Ms. Flow got angry, and started flowing heavy. So thats when I decided I have to do something, because I couldn't function. After getting turned down at a women's clinic and emergency room. I finally was pointed towards Parkland, where they have a women's center and help out people just like me with no insurance and only a part time job. To make a long story short, they gave me a wonder pill that helped clean out my system and regulate me. I no longer carry tampons with me everywhere I go! I can actually start a calendar like normal women! This sounds ridiculous, but its a blessing for me... And they said that it would be ok for us to try for a baby. Which is the best news possible for me and Davie. So time will tell, God only knows when the time is right for a little one for us. So we are not rushing into anything quite yet.
