I have been waiting for Friday (...to be over!!) all week! I've been so busy with things at work this week it's been crazy. I still have a to-do list that is a page long, but it seems to be easing up a bit. I don't know what it is, but I've been slammed with projects this month and it's all coming to a head this week and part of next. I'm so looking forward to my extended Labor Day weekend next week since I'm taking PTO Thursday and mandatory PTO on Friday because of my work's business closure. I've got my boss' big department-wide "All Associate Meeting" today that I JUST finished the presentation slides for (considering I just got them last night at 5:00, that's pretty darn good!) and I've got a few other things I've got to take care of before the big meeting at 2:00 today. I've got other projects on my plate besides that, but that's the big one that's been weighing me down lately. So glad that I won't have to worry about it after today. Yay!
Aaron heard back from Cobalt earlier this week but it wasn't good news. Turns out that they selected other candidates so it's back to the drawing board. He had another company, Speakeasy, contact him for a phone interview, but we are still waiting for follow-up information from them and they have yet to call. I really hope that he's able to find work soon. Financially we are surviving, but it would be nice to have him working so we can try to pay off our debt quicker so we can get into a house not to mention it will be great for his self esteem to be working again. I know he really wants to advance in his career and that's virtually impossible when you're, well....unemployed! :(
On another note, Aaron goes in for surgery tomorrow to have his lymph node removed. They were going to do some kind of biopsy that included sticking a needle in his neck, but the doctor said it could be inaccurate sometimes. So, instead of risking it being inaccurate with the 10% chance of it being lymphoma, he just decided to go through with having it surgically removed so they could perform a proper biopsy which is way more accurate. We should know within 7-10 days of the surgery what the results are. Which reminds me (side tangent, I know...) that Aaron and I came to an agreement, shook on it, all that jazz... If it turns out that he doesn't have lymphoma (which I don't think he does) then Aaron agreed that we could have 4 kids!! Yay! I've always wanted 4 (I like even numbers) and Aaron was always iffy on it. It was "Well, maybe. I'll think about it". So, I'm super excited about that. We aren't planning on #3 arriving until Fall 2011-Spring 2012, and then #4 will probably come sometime in 2014. It's a long ways off, but I'm excited that he finally said yes! :)
Well, I should get back to work. Have a happy Friday and a wonderful weekend!! :)
