Man, this week wore me out.

It's Saturday morning. We just finished watching Rack, Shack & Benny and Andrew is joyfully using his fingers to scrap and eat the peanut butter off his toast. Marc is still in bed, but on his behalf, he got up at 6:00 and played racquetball early this morning and was home and back in bed before we even got up. And who knows how late he was up last night? At least midnight, 'cause I was still up then. Why? Because we started the second season of '24' last night. It was somewhat of a busy week, and neither Marc or myself were feeling real great last night, so we decided to stay in....and just veg in front of the tube, once kiddo went down for the night. We got through 4 episodes between 8:30 and midnight.

Ok, I mentioned it’s been a busy week. So what have we been up to since my emotional-hormonal Monday? First of all, I mentioned that on Monday night we were working on something ‘top secret’. Well, Marc was fine with his job and not looking for a new one at all, when out of the blue another job called and said they got his resume sent to him and would like to interview him. Marc mentioned that he did not send out his resume at all…in fact his resume was not even updated and that he really wasn’t looking for a job. They said, if they could offer $$ more than he was making now, would he be willing to listen to them? Well….sure…what can hurt listening? Well, long story short…literally within 2 weeks, he had 3 interviews, took a test and got an offer. An offer than he would be silly to refuse. Plus there are other perks since this is a large company just as phone, laptop, tuition reimbursement, and supposed “world class” benefits (they don’t start until 30 days after start date). So even though he had a good job, on Tuesday, he went and gave his two week notice at his current job. He was actually kind of bummed about it since he really liked his boss, too. So, anyway, my hubby is currently unemployed and will be starting his new job on the 20th.

On a side note: Andrew used to do product testing all the time and literally was the breadwinner for a while in our home. These tests have totally faded and we haven’t been called for one in months and months. Then on Tuesday, the same day my hubby loses his job/quits…my son gets called for a test. Nice! So we are heading out to that a little later this afternoon.

Ok back to our week. Tuesday, we double booked our evening when we scheduled dinner and haircuts with one couple and yet, said yes to another out of town couple to come stay with us. So after some scrambling, we took a rain check on dinner, but Andrew and I snuck over to get his haircut quick after work (it needed it badly!). Then we beat our overnight guests home by mere seconds. They have 2 kiddos, too, so it was busy here. We went out to dinner with them (interesting…4 adults, 3 kids) and got home in time for the big boys to go play their usual Tuesday basketball. Us girls put the kids to bed and chatted a bit before calling it a night. (Of course, when we have a houseful, that is the night Andrew slept TERRIBLE! Figures.)

Wednesday, our guests were still here until about dinner time. Then Marc and I ran errands to the grocery store, returned movies, hit Wal-Mart, etc… I was tired by the time we got home. Thursday, we hit Best Buy and returned our computer for the 4th time. I won’t write to much about it, because I believe my hubby actually wants to post on my blog about that whole mess. But in a nut shell, we were there forever (difficult with a busy toddler), were not pleased with the outcomes, but have a new laptop (that we are not even guaranteed that we will get to keep (but had to pay a good amount of $$ for to cover it). Very crappy. Then of course, it was a decent TV night (not great anymore, but ok).

And well, I already told you about last night and that brings us to now. I should probably get myself and the boy out of our pjs and get some stuff done today. (Another side note: Marc has done a great job working around the house since he’s been home.) Tonight we are doing dinner at some friends house. Then tomorrow is church in the AM and church community groups in the PM.

Have a great weekend.
