March 1st
Last night as I sat on the couch crying from either the neighbors, the thought of Joel going to work the next day or the fact that I had my first migraine in months due to the LOUDEST TODDLER EVER, Joel reminded me that it was March 1st and I wasn't supposed to be grumpy, I was supposed to be celebrating.
In all the hubbub of having a baby and dealing with hormone withdrawals, I forgot all about March 1st. Sort of how I always forget about Millie's birthday...
The night that Joel was laid off, we both sat on our back porch and stared into the yard figuring out what to do next. We came to the conclusion that March 1st was going to be our day of celebrating if things worked out or March 1st would be our day of sheer panic if jobs were not found and homes were not sold.
Luckily, we didn't have to worry about the latter part.
So even though I'm a hormonal wreck, I realize two things...
One. We sold our house and now have four months until we'll move into a brand-new built for us home that is only 15 minutes door to door from my sister's house. Two. Joel has a job that he is enjoying at the moment and gets decent benefits that have allowed us to have a second baby without paying thousands and thousands of dollars.
I may have forgotten to celebrate last night, but I know things worked out. Let's just get through this adjustment period of a newborn and toddler and then I'll throw a party.
