At least there is some good news out of this week. My husband has made a move to a new career and has landed himself a brand spanking new job. And while it is scary, I know that it is a good move for him. (Of course, that hasn't helped with my tears this week. He can attest to that!) He will finally be out of the restaurant business and I couldn't be happier. Now he has a chance to really make a career for himself. He could end up in management! It will be so nice to not have to be the "bread winner" of the household. Maybe, just maybe (once he really gets himself grounded in this job) I could move to a part time status at work. It would still mean full time during tax season, but it would mean three day weeks during the summer. I could really get used to that!
In the middle of all of this I tried to keep my sanity by running my needle through my fifteen minute project. I made it past the point of contention on that L*K piece:
And here it is as of this morning:
Speaking of closer, I also managed to get my needle into another one of my Crazy January Challenges. Normally I've been stitching on "Beyond My Heart" while with my Stitching Sisters. But, this week I was able to get a couple of hours in on it while I waited at the car dealership. (Yes, I was there again.......long story, more crying.....sigh.....) Now it looks like this:
Don't worry......I really am ok. I think I just needed to cry it all out. Sometimes a good cry is exactly what you need. Oh, I had that chocolate that I was mentioning. It was in the form of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Ahhhhhh.............
Have a wonderful weekend and keep your stitches happy!

Congrats to your husband! How exciting!
I hope you are feeling better. Sometimes its helpful to talk things out when you are feeling blue. I know it's helped me a lot over the past year. *hugs*
Great stitching and mint chocolate chip ice cream is my all time favorite! Thank goodness I don't have any in the fridge! I've been eating everything in site this week!

Congratulations to hubby....and as for crying...it does help me sometimes to just let it go.Hope you feel upbeat real soon.
Happy to hear about husbands job. Maybe this will relieve some stress.
Many, many, many times I have cried just because I needed to. We all do. Hope it helped. Remember we are all here if you need to get it out.

Congratulations to your husband landing a new job!! Glad you are keeping up with your stitching! You are right sometimes you have to just cry it all out, tears really are healing...and mint chocolate chip ice cream is my favorite too!
A rainbow after the rain. Maybe less hours for you would equal less stress which would benefit you in many ways. Best Wishes and good luck to hubby on the job front.
Congrats to your husband! Wishing you and him the best during the transition!!
Great stitches - and for some reason, now I am craving mint chocolate chip ice cream!! Wonder if hubby would wake up if I opened the garage door??
doing a happy dance for your DH on getting the job :) glad you got passed and carried on with the stitching ... sorry about the car .. and wooooo hoooo on the mint choc ice cream ..lol .. take care and shall squeak to you soon :0 love mouse xxx
Not being the main breadwinner has to take off stress - I only have been there while my husband was off on worker's comp/disability a couple times over the 20 year marriage. Congrats to you and your husband!
I love the flowers next to the "t", they are so sweet! I am so glad you got through the week - and sometimes a cry helps - I've read somewhere that there are chemicals our body releases when crying which leads to less stress build-up in our body. I am sure the mint choc-chip i.c. helped too - any chocolate would help me!
Looking forward to seeing your stitching progress while you're on vacation! Hugs to you, Jennifer, you deserve many! You have been in my thoughts and prayers!
i am so happy to hear about your husband job..congratulations to him and all my best wishes are with you both..

After living in this neck of the woods for three years I finally went to Baskin Robbins last week. I needed that as you needed that chocolate!
Know that I am thinking of you and your husband.....and I'm so glad to hear the news of his new job. That's WONDERFUL!!
Congratulations to your husband! And your stitching is looking fantastic. I can't wait to see your LizzieKate finished.
