Race to Craziness!!
It is about time that I start blogging again. You are probably wondering where I have been. Well quite frankly, I have been on the Race to Craziness!! Yes after my post about the accident, I hit a level of overload, I haven’t seen in quite some time.
To catch you up just a touch, my anniversary, my son’s birthday, and my birthday were all in August. The key accomplishment was to throw a Darth Vader birthday party for my 8 year old. It went quite well. The only tiny issue is that the Darth Vader cake was a deep blue/black. And after all the festivities, the kids sat down to eat their cake. And I started to hear immense giggling. I turn around and to my horror, all their little mouths, plus my husband, and my son godfather’s mouth were black from the cake!!! And it didn’t come off for a good twenty minutes!! LOL!!! The kids loved it and I apologized profusely to the parents. That was how August ended for us, with great laughter and really dark teeth.
Then in the first week of September, I found out I had a job, which was really positive AND overwhelming. For the next two weeks, people would ask “how are you doing” and I would say “I’m sucking from a fire hose.” And oddly that hasn’t seemed to stop!!! With that said, the week after I found out I had a job, my husband found out he did not. That sent distress at multiple levels through us both.
My husband started his job search instantly and my job was to make sure the house kept running, the kids made it to school on time, keep working, and work to keep my husband and I both positive. With all that going on, you would think I wouldn’t do anything else. But, no!!! I also did canvassing for the Democratic Party here in town. That was really fascinating to walk up to people you don’t know and ask them if they were supporting the local and national democratic candidates. It actually went really well. We only had one cranky lady in all the 40+ address we visited. Honestly, I was really proud to do it.
The last exciting thing in September was to go to the doctors for my accident. It was the first time I could get an appointment to see anyone. They examined me and promptly gave me a script to see a physical therapist. I am physically starting to feel much much better.
Now we enter the month of October. Well I started the month with a new newsletter, a website update to highlight my new prints, and I did the Castro Street Fair in San Francisco. I just got home last night. To our absolutely joy, my husband got a new job!!! After 15+ interviews, he was offered a new position within the company. We are all feeling a little bit better…. And I am remembering that we are blessed…
