A Turn For The...Better?

First off HAPPY 5 Months Chloe! Yikes...She is growing so quickly. I can't turn my back on her for one second anymore. The past couple months she has been doing this kind of crab crawling thing where she will be on her back and try to scoot across the floor (or wherever she is), but just in the past week she has become a master at it. I turn my back to grab some water or something and look at her and she already got herself across the room. She found my shoes and decided to play with them, so now I have to hide them because I never know where she is going to end up! It's insane.

She gets all frustrated and confused when she tries to do that on her belly...but if she was doing it on her belly she would be crawling! Silly little girl.

Gallbladder business: I had THE worst attack about 2 weeks ago and ended up calling off work for two days because of it. I had to get a Drs note in order to be excused of course, so I saw my Dr and when he found out that the Surgeon didn't push my insurance through he got pretty angry. To make a long story short, he made a phone call and got me an appointment with a different surgeon. To make matters more complicated my Dr. gave me a two week off work notice that way I could recover and possibly have the surgery. Now I'm just waiting for the best insurance option and an actualy surgery date (which should be some time this month).

Jobs: Stater's didn't like the fact that I needed time off for surgery or sick leave, so they let me go. Their company policy states that you have to have 6 months in the company (starting from your hire/re-hire date) in order to get any time off...including medical reasons. I'm really not all that upset about it. I was meant to teach and Staters would have just gotten in the way of that dream. I loved the job and loved the pay, but I don't want to work for a company that doesn't allow their employees to be sick. At least I can be home with my little one now and just work on finishing my credentials.

On a more exciting note...Ben got a job!!! He is working in Admissions at ITT and we both have a prety good feeling about this one! He applied for this job over two months ago and they were waiting on a international background check (from his mission in Honduras) to come back, but they saved a spot for him!! I already miss him, but I know it's gonna make the world of difference financially for us! Better yet he got insurance....So paying up the butt for my surgery is no longer a worry.

I wanna thank everyone for their help and support through all this and I really hope these changes in our lives are for the better :)
