Remember Me?

[jamauk]

Hello Ladies!

I just cut and paste this message from the Yahoo! site, so I apologize to those of you that are on both sites....it'll be the same story!



Does anyone around here remember me? For those of you that don't
(and you new people that I haven't met...) let me re-introduce
myself. My name is Jessica and I am married to JetBlue FO (hopefully
CA, soon) Jason. We have one son, Benjamin, and he is 21 mos. old.
I am a former Flight Attendant, but currently a SAHM.

Now....let me catch everyone up on why I have been missing from the
boards. I think the last thing I posted was that I miscarried while
in Cincinnati for my mom's wedding. We took some time and recovered
from that and got on with our lives. It was one of the hardest
things to go through, but Ben was innocently here just trying to have
fun and he really helped us deal with it!

Since I was no longer pregnant and Jason was coming up on some major
time off (he'd been bidding lots of hours in anticipation of being
able to get almost a month off during the holidays), we decided to
get Ben a puppy for Christmas (more on that later).

Two weeks later was my 30th bday and it really hit me hard after
everything I had just gone through. Then it was time to get ready
for Thanksgiving, I was hosting my first big dinner and all of
Jason's family was here, so I was a little stressed. The week
before, Jason and Ben both got sick and I was left to all of the
preparations by myself.

I got everyone healthy and fed on Thanksgiving and was getting ready
to send Jason back to work, when on that Sunday, Ben decided to try
to fly (just like his daddy) and jumped off the steps. We spend the
evening in the ER and it turns out he broke his leg. So...he was in
a cast for 4 weeks. Jason took another week off work to help me with
Ben until everyone was used to the cast.

Jason came home from his trip and was then off for three and a half
weeks. We went to pick up the puppy three days before Ben's cast
came off. So, on Dec. 23rd, we took Ben back to the hospital to have
his cast off and the poor little guy is SO afraid of Doctors now, he
threw up all over himself, me, Jason and the tech.

Christmas, like Thanksgiving, was at our house....so while trying to
house train a puppy I also had to get the house company ready (thanks
to Flylady, it pretty much was!).

The dog go into some wrapping paper and had an allergic reaction and
didn't sleep for two nights straight. Then we had one night where he
slept all the way through and now he's getting up just once during
the night.....just like haivng a baby all over again! [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

New Year's came and went rather uneventfully and tonight I packed
Jason up and sent him back to work. He's only been on three 2day
trips since Nov. 1.....the house is eerily quiet, but I have my
fearless puppy to keep me company!

So, in a nutshell, my life has been one crazy week after another! But...things look to be settling down a bit (knock on wood!) and I hope to be back around here a little more regularly again!

Glad to see you back--I sent emails to the owners of the boards asking about you a few weeks ago because I was worried! Here's to a little bit of boring regularity in your life! It sounds like you need it!

Thanks, Roz!
So sweet of you to be worried about little ole me! Hopefully things have settled down for quite a while! I would LOVE a plain old boring life for a little bit!

we were definately wondering where you were at!!! glad your able to check back in!!! sounds like it's been super busy for you..are you able to wind down a bit now?

I was just about as busy as you only minus the puppy, sick people but with work, parties, xmas etc - just so busy! the holidays seems to put everything on the backburner even as your list grows because of the holidays! interesting how that works huh?!

so what kind of a puppy did you get?

I'm starting to get back into the swing of things now...although I had a rough time this morning. Its like I just forgot how to function while Jason was at work. I couldn't get anything straight in my head this morning. Ben was just looking at me like "what are we going to do today, Mom?" and I just had this blank look on my face like: "huh? you mean I'm in charge now? All by myself? What?"........

But I took a few deep breaths and I'm feeling a little more in control! We're headed to the mall, I'm going to do some shopping and let Ben play in the play land...

We got a Yellow Lab puppy. He is 10 1/2 weeks old, his name is "Curry"
