Can it never, just be good?

I wish I would have posted yesterday, but it was one of those days!

Wednesday, day 3 after due date, was such a devastating day. We had thought the baby would have come on the due date, or early, so when that didn't happen it was a hard day. Then we thought for sure, when she went in on Wednesday they would want to induce her that day, or at least this week. When we found out it wasn't even going to be this week, that really stung! We ended up staying in bed together most of Wednesday. Then we got hit with a pretty bad ice/snow storm. I decided to stay home on Thursday. It was already planned that I would be off from Wednesday through the New Year, for the baby. I stayed in bed all day and just had one of those days. It was nice, but I did feel a little guilty for not doing anything. I didn't do house work, I didn't organize, I didn't write the last of my thank yous, I really did nothing. Well, I did make dinner for Joe and I, and I did clean up a little after he got home, but before 6pm I did nothing.
Late last night, it hit me that it was the 10th. It was 1 year ago, yesterday, that we had decided to go ahead with adoption. It was the next day, the 11th, that I spent the day on the Internet searching all the info I could get on adoption. I called all the agencies in town, and did a ton of research. It's amazing to think that 1 year ago we agreed to start the process to adopt, and now our son is due any day.
On the other hand, yesterday was another horrible day. Joe texted me at 11:30am with this "My store is closing at the end of January. Will u please search jobs for me today if u get a chance? I knew it. Talk to u later". Yep, we knew this might happen, but had high hopes that his store would not be one of the ones that was closing. The worst part is that he found out through an email. At the bottom of the email Joe saw this "closing prep, Jan 28th, store number ####". Could you imagine seeing that, and it's your store, and no one told you! Right away he called and emailed his boss, and another guy. Later he got a call back from the guy, and it was confirmed. The goal is to place Joe and all of his employees into other stores in the company. Some times this works out, but not always. Joe went through a store closing before. He had to take a step down, but was able to keep the same pay. Since then he has moved up a lot, and we do not think they will keep him at the same pay this time. My wish is that Joe finds a good job in a different company. He has not been happy working for this company for awhile now, and I just think this would be a great time to part ways. Of course he will need to find another job, doing something he enjoys, with close to the same pay, to be able to do this. He has been with this company for almost 13 years, so I am sure it will be hard for him to move on, but it's time! He is a very hard worker and I think any company would be lucky to have him!
Now here we are 5 days past due date! Who would have thought! Joe thinks the 6th was really just a guess, so he is not surprised that he is not here yet. I am excited to here how Monday's appointment goes, but I do not have my hopes set on her being induced on Monday. She said that she will ask to be induced that day, but we see how that went last time. I know they will pick a date to induce her, but I just don't know when it will be. I guess any time next week. He is going to be so tiny at Christmas! He is really making it hard to get my Christmas cards out! Maybe I should put every ones address on the computer and print them on sticky labels so I can just stick them to the envelope and stick them in the mail as soon as we take his picture!
I am at work today, and it is going well. Turns out it is much better for my mental heath to be at work and not just at home in bed! Who would have thought. I probably won't post again until Monday. I am going to keep busy this weekend. I have a scrapbook day planned for Saturday, and plan to put my Christmas tree up Sunday. So have a great weekend blog world friends, and I hope to have something really exciting to post early next week!
