The good and the bad...

Just when I thought everything was going way to good to be true my bubble started to deflate and today it finally popped! Things are still going good. Derek and I put an offer in on a home and we close tomorrow morning. We had a renter lined up to move into my townhome beginning November 1, but her roommate backed out and she isn't sure she can fins anyone else to share the rent. I am praying she can because I lover her and she is just the type of person I wanted to rent my place.
I finally got my letter indicating I could apply for graduation this May!!! The finish is finally in view!! I cannot wait!
Derek finally saw a specialist for his diabetes, we are watching his counts closely for the next 2 weeks and hopefully she can help make him feel more in control. He is very excited about it. I am too, I just wish it didn't mean setting an alarm during the middle of the night to test every couple of hours!
As for the news I was waiting to tell you, or so I thought anyways! Upper management contacted me and set up a meeting for this afternoon to "touch base". We have been hiring a lot lately due to increased work so I was pretty sure I was getting a promotion. Well, I was way off! They just wanted to check and see how school was going and make sure that I was still taking on as much 'extra' work as possible. I was made aware that I will "never be fully replaced" as in I will always be in the position I am now, I will just have more responsibilities then all the others. I don't know what to sat about the whole thing. I worked myself up for a huge disappointment. Sorry I know it isn't great news!
Anyways. I am way of course. I have eaten out everyday for the past 4 days and made horrible choices. I wish I could say I want to go home and make a salad but all I feel like doing is sinking into my pajamas and curling up in front of the TV. This is not the Monday I was thinking it would be.

So sorry about the job thing......that stinks! You are so talented and those guys don't know how lucky they are to have you. Are there any other companies or options in your area....you have too much potential to be "stuck" anywhere!

Okay the dress is beautiful and Rosie walking down the aisle in a matching dress would be soooo cute!!!

Congratulations on the house and graduation! You have so much great stuff happening for you right now....hang in there with the job situation because when you least expect it something will turn around! Until then, let me know if I can help at all!
HUGS from Texas!!

Cheer up there sweetie!! Things are still going great. The house is awesome news!!! Is this the house that you found about a mile from your parents house? The big farm house? Either way, it's awesome you are getting a new home!!!

I'm so glad you guys saw the specialist and can get the diabetes under control. The middle of the night tests will be a pain for a while, but hopefully they will give you some solid answers to get it completely under control.

I'm sorry about the job and it wasn't the news you had hoped for. Maybe once you are done with school they will consider a promotion...or a nice hefty raise?!?! :)

And congrats on being done with school in May. That is just awesome! And you will be completely done with everything when you guys get married. That is just great!!!!!

I hope you did go home and curl up in your pajamas. Sounds like a good idea to me! :0)

{{hugs!}} I'm so sorry that you were disappointed. That totally sucks.

But I'm excited about all the good things happening in your life right now.

And Rosie is gonna be so sweet in her little matching dress!

Hope you're feeling better about everything today. At least Monday is over, right? :o)

That's a hard knock. You're going to just have to ask for a good-sized raise to compensate all of the extra work-load. What can they do? Say no? If so, you really know where you stand and also know it's time to look at other options. Just my $.02

It sounds like you're staying as positive as you can given the circumstances... I'm sorry to hear about work though. Hang in, you'll bounce back (you ALWAYS do!)
