It's Not All Gloom & Doom Around Here

Although I am still feeling all out of sorts and don't see the doctor until later this week, all of the kind thoughts and suggestions here and on Facebook have really cheered me up. So thank you to all of you lovely people!

And even bigger and better news, Hubby started his new position at the University yesterday!! We really kept the whole application/interview process quiet because we didn't want to jinx it and it all happened really fast. He is changing departments but will be doing similar work. And in this position there is the real opportunity for advancement that wasn't in the last position. It is more responsibility, too - but he will be MUCH better compensated in this job. And by much better, I mean close to having another persons full-time salary added to his current salary. I about had a heart attack when he told me how much it was. It will be so amazing for out family.

And the new job is amazing for Hubby. It is a good fit with his skills and personality and engineers-type brain. He was getting frustrated in his old position and the fact that his new boss sought him out and asked him to apply for the position was a huge morale boost for him. And I am so proud of him for stepping out of his comfort zone and applying, interviewing and getting the job. He is amazing!

And another bright spot is that Peanut will be 5 tomorrow!! 5 - I can't believe she is 5!!

It seem like she was just a wee toddler and now she is a 'big' girl. We are having a Hello Kitty Carnival Party at the house on Saturday and I have been feverishly working on it at night after the kids are in bed. I am hoping I can get it all pulled together by Saturday and if I do, I hope to blog it here. Here is a sneak peak:

I am excited. Peanut is excited. It should be a blast. I just hop I can pull it off.

So, no, it's not all doom and gloom and grey clouds. We have a lot of positive things going for us and going on, I just need to figure out how to be happy and enjoy them without all the other crashing in.
