Lifes Like That

As you all know, I have an 18 year old son that does not live at home. He lives quite far away and wasn’t able to make it home for Christmas. Although this was disappointing in itself, what made me especially sad and upset was that during the Christmas holidays he didn’t even make an effort to call his younger brother or sister. Honestly at one point I wondered if he was tucked away somewhere in a mesothelioma clinic. Because I couldn’t contact him or get in touch with him for over two weeks I wondered if anything had happened to him. Well he did finally e-mail me so I know that everything is OK for now. But, it was still disappointing for the kids not to hear from their older brother during Christmas.

Currently we have two spare rooms in our home that we could do something with. One of the rooms I have already taken over as my home office. The other room my husband has decided that he would like to use as a home gym. So he has been pricing up different weight equipment to put in his room. I think this is a really great idea for him as during the winter he tends to put on quite a bit of weight as he is not as active as he is in the summer. So I think a home gym would help him to balance his weight during the winter. The kids are quite happy about this decision as well as they enjoy using the exercise equipment themselves.

My husband has been employed as a mechanic for the past ten years at the same company.  For the most part he really does enjoy working at this particular place, but lately he has been feeling that a change is needed.  Not sure if it’s a midlife crises, or if it’s just time to move on. lol  So yesterday he took his resume to a couple of other job sites to see if he gets any bites.  I’m not real sure what he would do if another company expressed interest in him (he despises change), but I guess we will soon see if someone does actually call him.  So, there could be some changes ahead in my house and I’m not really sure if were ready for all that.  But, if it makes him happier to start looking around, then I say “all the power to him”.
