Jobless Parents

Saturday, June 24, 2006
This past week has been a rollercoaster of strange thoughts and emotions. DH quit his job suddenly in a fit of rage over the unfair way they have been treating him. Monday afternoon he was so angry, he packed up all of his belongings and brought them home. He took Tueday off because he was still not quite cooled off. Tuesday night afterhours, he left a letter of resignation on his boss' desk, along w/ his keys and his laptop. The resignation was effetctive immediately. Wednesday was a barrage of calls from his superiors and co-workers, none of which he answered.

We discussed all of our options before he quit and decided that he has enough skills to go into business for himself. We both felt empowered and confident in this decision, but as the week went on, DH started having 2nd thought. He contacted his immediate supervisor on Friday and he's supposed to go in on Monday to talk with the supervisor's boss. He's pretty sure he's just going to go back and work for them.

In a way, it's a little sad, but I have to admit that I do feel better knowing that we will have stability in these months of planning to have a child. DH has been so adamant about planning financially for the arrival of a baby - it would be very ironic if our baby came into the world with a couple of jobless parents.



P.S. - I think I ovulated the other day, according to the consistency of my cervical mucus, which means I must ovulate on the 14th day of my cycle or so. When it comes time to try, I think I'll get one of those ovulation detection kits from Wal-mart or somewhere. A lady recently told me that she and her DH had been trying to conceive for 7 months and after she got the ovulation kit she realized she was ovulating 4 days earlier than originally thought and ended up getting preggo right away.

Heehee... the term "preggo" makes me giggle. It reminds me of Britney Spears or another pregnant celeb....I guess because smut magazines always use headline such as "Madonna's Preggo" or the like. How silly.

I say, just pray about it and enjoy the sex! The Lord is the one who opens and closes the womb.
