Totally out of it

So... I have been a bad blogger and an even worse commenter. To be honest...life really sucks right now.

The company I have worked at for almost 9 years is folding. It is only a matter of time (like within a few months). They have laid off nearly half of the employees today, more to come this week and the rest of us are just waiting around to show up to work to find locked doors. It is awful. My dear sweet friend who just had surgery last week due to breast cancer is quite possibly going to be one of the employees to be laid off this week. I am just absolutely sick to my stomach. I can't imagine working without her. She was hired as my assistant to help with the daily office responsibilities and there is NO WAY I can do it all without her. Her husband was laid off 6 months ago, hasn't been able to find any work, she was just diagnosed with breast cancer last month, and now this.

I am so stressed, sad and just overall disgusted at the poor decisions the owners have made over the last 2 years (new owners came in 2 years ago) that has brought the company to where they are now.

I am so excited to leave on Thursday and just get away from all of the stress and frustration even if it is only for 5 days. It will be 5 days of spending life in a much more relaxed, slow pace out on the farm with my parents. MUCH NEEDED!

TTC hasn't even been an option lately. I haven't been keeping track of what day I am on, haven't been taking OPT, haven't even given it a second thought (to my husbands pleasure).

I am so sorry I have been a bad blogger. So many things are going on right now, I just haven't had the time or the energy to get online.

That is all for now. I probably won't write again until I get home from my 10 year reunion. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Labor Day and thank you for continuing to read my blog even though I don't update you all as often as I should!

Big Hugs!

And don't stress about the blog, lol, it gives me an excuse to text you and say hi friend (lol, not that I need an excuse but you know what I mean!)

I hope you have a safe, fun, and relaxing trip! Love ya girlie!

Work sounds like total crap - I have everything works out okay for you and your friend.

Enjoy your time away, and dont worry about the blogging thing, its more important that you are living your life, and living well.

Thinking of you all the time xx

I miss you...I'm so glad you had a great time! I'm so blah right now Nichole! I want to just cry over being infertile! I hate this...I hate it all and I just want us to both be moms! I want to throw in the towel and say F**k it but I know that would just make me even more sad! I'm sorry this is such a lame comment but I jut needed to talk to you and see your face (your blog has a pic of you!) I wish we were still neighbors, I would come over with a ton of beer and wine coolers for me and get your drunk and then make you go on a long ass walk with me....hahaaha!
