Since returning from Seattle on vacation, I’ve been at full speed getting ready for the “surprise” wedding/reception. I haven’t even swept my floors since getting home (and I’m a floor FINATIC). It’s been manic. I’VE been manic.
The day I got back from vacation, I found out that I had to lay off 20+ people. People that have stories. People that do a great job. People that I cared about. It was seriously difficult for me. But I continued on. . . planning, shopping, putting together this wedding reception with a minute’s notice. . . focusing on something positive rather than feeling sick to my stomach at having to let so many good people go.
THEN. . . after said event, I get back to work yesterday morning after the exhausting weekend and needing a vacation day desperately to recoup only to learn that the company I work for was giving me a 10% paycut. TEN percent! AFTER I’d let my credit card hemorage the last week and a half getting ready for this wedding. I couldn’t believe it. All I felt was sick to my stomach. . . again. I’m seeing a trend with the nausea.
But even now, I want to focus on something positive. And that is my son and his new wife. I will be getting the photos back from my photographer Thursday. In the meantime. . . here is a picture of my youngest son and his new wife with his dad, my ex, in his backyard. It’s actually a pretty good picture of them.
My boy has a fascination with hats.
Meet my new daughter-in-law. I couldn’t be more proud. LOVE HER!! And isn’t she adorable?
My son, so precious, and growing up to be such a GOOD young man. It does a mama’s heart good.
And my ex, who my boys and my mother say looks like George W Bush. (I don’t see it, but they INSIST) Maybe THAT’S the reason for my divorce.

Congrats to them both!!
Dude. I thought “he looks like Curious George” before you even said it! Might be an EXCELLENT reason for a divorce LOL!
P.S. Your son and DIL – adorable!!
I think he looks like a mealy-mouth version of GW….but only after you said it, then I was like, “Oh. Hmm. Yeah, there it is.” (I don’t know what mealy-mouth means exactly…but he does have a small mouth and I don’t trust men with small mouths. So there.)
Donna, you need to dump that damn job and find one that will appreciate you. Amazon is hiring out here like CRAZY!!! I’m telling you, like CRAZY Donna. We also have a little computer business called Microsoft. You may have heard of it over there.
That job is sucking the life out of you and you need to stop it. That’s my two cents worth, that in this economy is only worth 0.00000012 of a cent. Byegones.
Yes..he does look like George. But fortunately, your looks like you. He is just soooo cute. I am thrilled you love your new DIL. That is just so important. Take a deep breath and sweep that floor. It will make you feel better. Deb
Naaa, I don’t see the Gearge W thing. That could be because he reminds me of my PawPaw, though. He wasn’t really my Grandpa, but my Great-Aunt’s husband. Since my real Grandpa ran out on my Momma when she was three, he took up the role. Anyhow, your ex reminds me (a little) of him.
Now then, I’m with Mo. Get your resume polished off and just put it out there, you know. See if you get a bite.
That’s all I’m saying.
Ten percent paycut should mean 10% less work. Looks like you’ll be working 1/2 days on Friday! Tell’em I said so!
I’m thrilled about your happiness! You so deserve it. Love that you and DIL get along since that is a special relationship. No comments on the ex. He’s an ex for gosh sakes. Laying 20 people off then cutting your salary. GET OUT OF THERE! As a bookkeeper I can say the writing is on the wall and the front door and the back door and the ceiling! You are worth better.
Great pictures!!
