A truly honest post

I usually keep my blog upbeat. I try not to give out too many details, while still writing about my family life and our daily happenings. This post is going to be very candid.

My husband has been wronged and Im not just saying that because Im his wife. Everyone knows it... You know the instant pissed off feeling you get when someone messes with someone that you love??? You just instantly want to throat punch them? Yep that's been me for the last week. It has been brewing for the past few months, but last week took the cake.

In case you forgot, hubs is or was the police chief of a small town. This town is the epitome of Mayberry. To give you an idea of how small it is, the neighborhood I live in is probably twice the size, with twice the occupants. When people use the phrase "one horse town" I'm not even sure if it would qualify... I've never even seen a horse there. They have no stop lights, not even a store. It is the definition of east bumble...... yeah you get the idea.

In January a new mayor took office. The mayor seemed to be good for the city. He had great ideas and ways to help the city progress and grow. As soon as he took office, all of that changed. A man that formally had a progressive agenda, now had a vendetta. His first douchetastic item on his new agenda was to take away the Chief position from hubs. Apparently his young age affected his ability to police a town, a town the size of a postage stamp, might I remind you.

This man has NO idea how to run a city. You dont go demoting someone just because you feel like it. This isnt playing a game of sim city or something... this is real life and people's lives are affected by him being a jerk.

On to the next order of business.

As if a demotion wasnt enough, last week Brad was unlawfully fired. I stress unlawfully because the mayor broke 3 rules when doing so...


To sum it all up, this man is on a power trip. He broke the city charter to fire him. He had been trying to find a reason to fire him for awhile, but Brad being a good chief, didnt give him one. Last weekend, the mayor insisted that Brad work and miss being a groomsmen in his best friends out of town wedding. It gave him the ammo he had been looking for when Brad told him that wasnt possible to work. (My husband is a dang good friend!)

So, Im currently at home on maternity leave and my husband is unemployed. Awesome! I know it will all work out and that God has better things in store, but that doesnt keep me from wanting to hit the guy in the face.

So yall, if you think about it... say a prayer for us. We have a family to support and a house to pay for (we are trying to rent it).

Thanks Everyone!!

Maybe too much honesty???

Sorry I havent been around lately. We are settling in and adjusting to life as a family. I always thought that once I was at home, that I would get a lot accomplished... Umm not so much! My house is a disaster! Our Sunday school class has been bringing us dinners (THANKFULLY), that we are really enjoying. I even got a plate (6) of chocolate muffins... which I ate by my lonesome since Brad hates chocolate (weirdo). =) So much for losing that baby weight! haha!

Keating has grown so much in the past two weeks! The other night he ate for 3 hours from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock... then woke up and had two 1 hour feedings during the night. I was freaking exhausted! It paid off because the tiny Ralph Lauren outfit that swallowed him in the hospital now fits him. He is getting little cheeks and a tiny belly! My boobs about fell off after that much nursing. I may have given up on breast feeding if I hadnt found nipple shields. Seriously, a LIFE SAVER... or should I say nipple saver?

Yall child birth has made me so much less modest! I never would have discussed nipples on my blog before... much less not think twice about yanking my boob out in public to feed my kid. (using the hooter hider of course! Im not that comfortable!)

Yesterday, he had his first bath. He hated it as much as he hates being naked. We need to work on naked time. I keep trying to tell him that naked time is fun! He just doesnt get it yet!

That is the extent of my exciting past few days. Im off to introduce Keating to trash tv... AKA The Bachelor!
