You know our mother, if she could keep a secret it would be a miracle. The pictures not being a secret will be spread all over SEKS before we know it. I'm very anxious to see them. We're heading out tomorrow morning for the farm. See you this weekend.

Hard Week
This has been a really hard week. I have been riding an emotional roller coaster.
Thanks for the support, it is really appreciated. It's good to know I have people I can count on.
I guess I am going to count this week as my "grieving period" and then try to move on and get past the fact that I lost my job. I know it's not the end of the world. I am trying to tell myself that maybe this is for the best. Maybe I got the good end of the deal with all the changes that are being made at work right now. That's what I keep telling myself but I'm not sure I am listening. I am trying to be positive, it's just not working all the time.
I was proud of the things I accomplished, I was proud of the fact that I started in production and worked my way up to a better position. I was proud of the things I learned and I think I was good at my job. It was not a performance issue and I never had a bad review. I guess I just worked my way up and out the door. My job is not who I am but it was a part of me.
I went in and signed the papers today. It was hard but it's done. Now I just have to let it go and move on.

Unemployed
I still can't believe that I am unemployed, but here I am....
After 9 yrs and 9 mths working for the same company, working my way up from the production floor, to accounting, & then to purchasing, making it up to the position of SR Buyer for the last 2 years, as of yesterday, 4/6/09, my position has been eliminated. Shock, disbelief, feelings of rejection, feeling like I failed, and feeling like I lost part of my family.
I still don't remember everything that was said in the meeting. All i know is that there were 6 other people in the room. I shouldn't have been in there.....I'm sure there was a mistake.
I am still waiting to wake up from this nightmare. I am waiting for the call to say they made a big mistake and they need me to come back.
I went through this in the end of '98 but that was different. That plant closed down, there was a 60 day notice of the closing and we were able to decide what we wanted to do. Even though there was nothing we could do to keep our jobs, we had a choice of leaving early or staying until the doors closed.
This time it is so different. There is still a plant that is open, there is still work to do, my friends and co-workers are still there but I'm not. Why me? That was the only thing I wanted to ask but I really didn't want to know the answer. I was assured it was not a performance issue and was offered letter of reccomendations from several people. I do know that I will miss my job and I will miss the people I worked with. I would like to think that the person who made the decision will soon regret it but that is probably a lot to ask.
I will be okay....sooner or later. I am trying to be positive and think of all the things I can do until I find another job. I just have to learn how to cope with the range of emotions I am feeling.
It was hard going to sleep last night, I couldn't shut off my brain. You know, the would haves, should haves, could haves. I woke up at 5:30 this am, my regular time, and started crying because I realized I had nowhere to go.
So here I am.....

Being a married Woman
Kim-
So the first week of being married has been good. I don't know that I feel any different except when I see my new name that is extremely weird for me. I love the comfort of having a husband and being called "wife". That sounds so much more permanent and committed. I'm so in love with my husband. We've talked on and off all week about the wedding and how perfect it was for us. He told me that I was just "beautiful" in my dress and looked so sexy. People said being married wouldn't feel very different and it really doesn't as far as the day to day part of it. Next week will be a little more interesting because I will be around people again.
Tomorrow will be our 1 week anniversary and ironically, Adam's six year anniversary. Ask me how it feels in about six months.
So for now,
The new Mrs.
