Bummin me out

So, I had the best two weeks ever and now I guess I am bottoming out. My boss didn't take the news very well and he has already cut my hours and responcibities. Which I am pretty sure is illegal, but I would bet it would be hard to go to court on. He is hurt I get it. I am the second manager in a year to get pregnant, but I didn't do it to harm him and I shouldn't be punished for it. In my fragile state I went to my husband for comfort and he told me to quit. Which just made me cry. He doesn't get it, I know he sees it as a simple solution, but I loved my job, and the money. I would have to go on a huge yarn budget. Now, I am really going to cry. On top of all of this my brand new car ( pics coming soon) has been in the shop the last five days. That would be five out of the eleven days I have owned it. I just got it back today, and everything is fixed. It was all just little stuff, but they did each thing one day at a time apparently. Then in my hour of need when I went to my fiber for comfort everything went wrong. I must have messed up more than I acomplished. Oh the well! My wonder week was bound to end, it is just bumming me out. I finished that damn sash on PROJECT 2007 which actually might be done in time to wear it for the cold season. Which for me is nothing short of a miracle. This is the monkey sock that I am working on with Pigeon Roof Studio. I am loving this pattern and the yarn, but it is taking forever because I am not spending enough time on it. This is my bag project and I hardly wait around anywhere anymore, but I am seeing alot of midwife appointments in the near future. So, fear not these socks will be done in time for me to wear them to the birth of my second child. I was thinking about giving them to my grandmother, but everyone on agrees if I gave her these socks she will " save them" for a special occasion. Which means she will never wear them. They will be her "Fancy" socks and she is not a fancy girl at all. She might wear them once when we " go to town" together, but after that they will not see the light of day. I love my grandma so very very very much and I would love to give her socks, but everyone is right I need to give her everyday sock, not fancy ones. If I made her some plain rib socks she would wear them more. So, those will be next on my cue. Till then! And hey, thanks you so much for all of those comments on my last post. Sometimes I feel like I am talking to a brick wall, but when it matters, I am really with good friends! You guys kick asses!
