a happier update :)
So a few days ago I felt like the world was crashing down around my ears. Job fell through, daycare denied, potty training was going bad... What a difference a few days makes.
I talked to my boss at Lane Bryant. I explained everything that was happening and asked humbly if she wouldn't mind keeping my ass (and asked if there was any possible way I could get some more hours). Not only did she agree to keep me, not only did she agree to the hours I asked for, but she gave me even more than that. So instead of 20 hours a week I'll get close to 30 (with a promise of some kind of raise, even if it's just a tiny one- and because we'll be moving locations and going into shut down/reopen mode, I may get even more hours than that, so long as I have someone to watch Joey I will take them). She also let me keep my week off (I'll miss that week of pay, but I seriously do need the break.) At any rate, I told her as long as I can keep my new hours even after we got moved and settled in to the new location that I would not look for anything else for a long time. Seriously, I have great insurance through them and the job really isn't all that hard. If I was better at getting new charge accounts I could have been a manager. that gives me something to work on I guess.
Potty training is finally starting to get a little easier. I made a big deal about showing Joey that there are no more diapers in his changing table, only pull ups. Even then, he runs around bottomless in the house, only to wear overnight pullups when he sleeps and regular pullups when we go out. He did EXCELLENT today when we were out. I brought an empty water bottle and made him pee every twenty minutes or so, and he was able to keep his trainers dry until after we got back from the grocery, which was like 5 hours! and when we got home and were eating dinner, he got this funny look on his face, put his fork down and went and grabbed the cup from his potty chair and brought it to me so I could hold it up to him while he peed. Still doesn't wanna poop in the thing, but he's making progress and for that I am ELATED.
okay, now for sex stuff. Did something the other day I've never done before in all my life. I've been a large woman jeeze since like I was 12. I've fought my weight all my life, ad when I lost my virginity at 18 I always thought I was too big to be on top. I didn't get on top until my boyfriend before my husband, and even then it had been only once. I've done it more than that with my husband, but I have to crouch over him. I can't get my legs around him to put my knees on the bed and make it lots easier. Well, that is until the other day. We've both been losing weight and for the first time ever, I was able to put my knees down and put my palms down on his thighs and lean back and DO IT RIGHT. omg it was amazing. I didn't get off because I was paranoid about crushing him and it was a little awkward because it was my first time. But with some more practice I bet I could get off real easy. I kept thinking 'omg I've written this position before but never done it- it's so wonderful!' anyways, that was my big excitement for the week XD
half of my adam and eve shipment came today. It was most of the free stuff I got for ordering the ben wa ball thingy. Used the pocket pussy on the husband and he is now sold on toys in general. All the toys were mine until now, and next on his list to try are the anal beads. And for the record, lube is gross. It's sticky and stringy and I didn't know how much of it to put into the pocket pussy and it got everywhere... There's also a tiny vibrating bullet (maybe I was expecting an egg I guess, thought the bullet would be bigger), and a nice stretchy cock ring and some other fun things. I'm afraid of what the deep throat gel does XD
Thank you all for your positive waves while I was in despair. Maybe that's what led to all the wonderful things that have been happening in the wake of the bad stuff. I have the best f-list ever and I love you all *hugs*
