Parker started eating Cheerios last week, and then little lint balls he found on the floor, and then dog food Lennox dribbled onto the carpet. Oh my, how my little Peanut is growing up! He is also crawling the speed of light, pulling up to a standing position on anything he can get a hold of (including the dog), and has begun complaining if you take something away from him (magazine he is eating, ball point pen he found, giant ball of cat hair the cat kicked off...).
Things are still a little stressful for us right now, but at least one thing got sorted out. Chris' tax lady (our new personal hero) somehow got things straightened out with the IRS and we got our tax return. Although Chris may still have identity theft issues in the future b/c his SS card was stolen a few years ago, this was unrelated and easy to fix. Thank Goodness!!!!
Our fingers are still crossed for Chris and his job search. He got a very frustrating call last week from Cartoon Network letting him know that he was the candidate they had selected to hire for the position to which he applied, but the same day the paperwork was submitted to finalize the offer, the company underwent a hiring freeze. We still don't know if they can squeak him in, or if that opportunity has now been eliminated. The HR lady also warned Chris that if he is given the position and the branch undergoes cut-backs, his position as a new employee would be the first to go. Wow, that's encouraging. Chris will still be receiving severance for a couple of months, so we're not in any immediate danger, but I can't help but feeling a little nervous anyway. He does have a couple of other options on the horizon though, so I just have to trust that things will work out as they should, as they always do.
So, on a lighter and most fabulous note, I got the very exciting news today that my long lost friend, Jessa, is expecting a baby!!!! CONGRATULATIONS John and Jessa on the great news! Jessa and I were very close friends in junior high before she and her mom moved down to the Palm Desert California. I visited there once but we lost track of eachother after we headed into high school and college. We have re-connected over the net and have been keeping up with one another via one another's blog. (Ah, the age of the internet...) Anyway, I am overjoyed about their news. Hooray, hoorah, yipee! There is truly nothing better in the whole wide world. :)
As you know, tomorrow I head to Oregon. I'm almost packed, and am left now to let my anxiety build about a cross country plane ride with an almost 8 month old (can he possibly be 8 months...??? GASP!) I'm sure it will be ok, but please think calm, relaxing thoughts for me tomorrow evening. :)
Ok- lots to do, lots to do. Will update from Oregon.
LOVE,
