6月27日 Wishy-washyI can honestly say that I am very happy that we are having a boy. I can honestly say I was, deep down, hoping for a girl again. I am not really sure why. Maybe because I already have one and know what to expect. I guess I am afraid of the unknown. We will now have a girl and a boy and my tubes will be tied. We both agree that being in our mid and late 30's that we are very blessed to have 2 healthy beautiful children. I know Marcius will be beautiful. I am nevous about my c-section, things did not go so great last time. but I think it will be ok this time around. October 26 is the big day, also my husbands birthday.
Summer has been a wash, literally here in Maine. Almost non stop rain for weeks. Tourism is way down and being able to go out and enjoy the weather almost non exsistant.
Maybe the holiday weekend will prove to be wonderful. Maybe not. I am glad that I have next Tuesday off. A day off that is not during the weekend is cherished!! I can get laundry, floors, housekeeping done. And spend time with my sweet Tigerlily.
I hope you all are well. 6月23日 It's A BoyWell, my ultrasound went wonderfully! Everything is progressing very, very well. I am happy to say that we are having a boy. We are all so excited. Now plans for the nursery are a go. Tigers new room will be done in a few short weeks. So October 26th. we will have our new bundle of joy. Time will fly, I am sure.
I am bit worried how Tiger will react to not being the center of our attention. I think she will be loving and attentive. I hope so anyway. I would appreciate any advice!
I really have no other news right now. I wish someone would read my blog and leave me a comment though, that would make my day!! 6月20日 Staying in one placeI am 34 years old. Not too old, not too young. It seems that I have been drifiting all my life (at least since after college). From here to there one job to another. I have been a janitor, worked the overnight shift at a convienience store, been a police officer, worked for the DEA, milked cows, showed cows, was a cook, owned a tavern, was a technical engineer, a gemologist and now I am an office manager for a Union Local. I left out a few as to not bore you too much. I am rather happy where I am now. Being that I am back in Maine and have a nice job. I have finally married a wonderful man and have started a family. I feel now that I am no longer drifitng, I am rooted. That is a really great feeling. SO tell me what jobs you have had in your life, I am interested. 6月13日 Family DysfunctionSaturday was Tigerlily's first birthday. It rained most of the day but cleared off long enough to grill burgers and dogs outside. Almost everyone invited showed. I appreciated that. A few that were not invited showed up. I did not appreciate that. A niece that has a serious drinking problem and her fresh from rehab husband. The first thing she did as she walked in was announce that her daughters party is July 1st. and we all needed to be there. Then she started opening cupboards looking for booze. I took her aside and as gently as I could explained that this was my daughters first birthday party and not kegger. Her por husband looked so hurt that his wife was putting him through this. I let her know that she would need to go elsewhere for alcohol. Jesus all hell broke loose for a few minutes. Her mother got in my face that her daughter was not an alcoholic and Tigerlily would never know that anyone was drinking at her party. My poor baby started crying when she started yelling at me. I was shocked. I just stood there....blinking. My husband got up, told his niece and her mother to leave, immediatly. They did, he hugged me, all went well after that. Family sucks sometimes. 6月8日 Rain Rain Go Away!!We are on day 11 of almost constant rain. I have yet to meet anyone in a good mood the past few days. Tiger's first birthday party will have to be moved inside the house this weekend. That does not please me at all, but anything for my baby girl.
All we have planted in the big garden is onions. My garden behind my house is, so far, ok. We won't be harvesting until freaking November!!
I guess I just wanted to bitch about the rain.
I'll add more later, maybe.
6月6日 Your bar or mineI met my husband when we were in high school. He was a senior and I was a freshman. He and my brother were friends and fellow atheltes. We went out several times and had a great connection with eachother. He was the big teddybear that all the girls loved but weren't in love with, ya know what I mean? I adored him and couldn't imagine him not being a part of my life. But he graduated and went into the Marine Corps. We corresponded and saw eachother a few times when he came home on leave. I was a senior when he was medically discharged and moved back to Maine. He unfortunalty found someone else. I too was involved with someone. I went to college a few towns over and worked in that same town. After I graduated I started working as a microbiologists assistant for a major chemical company at some of the local paper mills. A hot, smelly job but damn good pay and benefits. He was a DJ and bouncer at a local bar as well as an assistant manager for a local lumber company.
In 1999 I got married and divorced and moved out of the country to be with a man I met on the internet. This is a year I would gladly erase from my life. One mistake after another. I spent 3 long years in Ontario before I realized that no matter how far you run your mistakes follow you. I swallowed my pride and moved back to Maine and into my parents home! I hid there for about a month before I decided to go into town on evening to our family's tavern, a place that my brother had been running for about 11 years.
I couldn't believe the crap I saw there. I had noticed how awful my brother looked but he kept explaining it away. He was working long hours, had the flu....yadda yadda yadda. I spoke with his wife and told her my suspicions. There were lots of shady, nervous patrons at the bar that I had ever seen before. A thousand phone calls that he was avoiding, many, many unpaid bills. The culprit turned out to be oxycontin that he was getting from a pharmacist friend of his. His wife decided she had had enough of all of this and approached my parents (they apparently didn't want to believe that I knew what I was talking about). My father immediately went to their home, took the bar keys as well as his vehicle keys and told him he was going to rehab the next day. My brother looked almost relieved but still was in denial about the drugs. He said it was just alcohol.
I took over the bar from that day on. Got the bills all paid, took care of all the death threats from dealers, and got some of the loyal regulars back. This took me months mind you. All the while, a mutual friend of mine and my husbands kept telling me " you know Marc is running the old KVI now, he really wants to see you" I was still reeling from my hellish situation and was in no place to see an old flame. Deep down I knew I would fall for him immediatly!!
Everything was going nice and smooth, my brother was making progress, I was making the bar money. I got rid of every single employee since they all had tabs of over $300 and would come into work high and leave drunk.. worked my ass off for months before I finally found someone I could trust to help me out there. Adam was a godsend and gave me a few hours of peace everyday. One random Friday I decided I would head home, shower and tell my folks not to wait up, I was going to go see an old friend. I let our mutual friend know that I was going to be heading over to Marc's bar that evening. When I got there he was no where to be seen. The very cute and sweet bartender asked if she could get me anything. I ordered a Mich Light, she made the comment that her Uncle Marc would like me ,that is what he drank. I told her that I was actully there to see her Uncle. She then asked if my name was Janet. I said yes and she told me that she was to call him as soon as I go there, he had gone home to take a nap.
He arrived about 1/2 hour later. Instant attraction. We couldn't let eachother go. It was like we knew we were going to pick up where we left off, and we did.
We didn't waste any time either!! That was August 2003 and I was pregnant come October and we were married in December. We sadly lost our first child 5 months along. Such a painful time for us. We decided to drop our lease on his bar and we took over my family's place. We did this for a year and just sold the place last November so we can concentrate on our 1 year old and our new one that will be along in October.
Moral of the story, there is hope for anyone.
