Thought I'd take a quick moment to jot some thoughts down, although it is risky considering Archer took a wonderful nap this morning, so the nap he is currently embarking on is probably not going to be that long!
What's new:
Zach started back to work. He worked full-time at this job up until October 30, 2010 at which point he donated his dominant hand to the company. He will NEVER regain more than 50% grip in his right hand. Upon arriving at this job, he was actually only allowed to work 3 out of 5 days, only 2 of which made it onto his paycheck due to the way the pay periods work. So, to support his family of 5 he is now expected to make ends meet with only 1/3 of what workers comp was giving him, which was obviously less than what he made with full-time hours as well. They don't appear to be working him into the schedule either since he was already told not to come in until Tuesday.
We already contacted a lawyer and unfortunately due to the economy, there isn't anything we can do. It's so frustrating. I've started looking for jobs, but the whole thing has Zach so pissed off that he isn't really in the mood for looking. Everything was fine, and now not only is he fucked for the rest of his life by this company, they don't even have the decency to give him a straight answer about his future with the company. "I'm going to see what I can do", he has heard. Which means, despite everything he gave up for the company (including the paid golf tournament he was scheduled to play in the Saturday (non-workday) he came in to work on the day he got injured), those are the breaks. It's enough to make me cry. In fact, I have.
Other than that, things are going great. Diet is going fabulous, not even hungry most of the time.
Archer is doing so well, laughing and trying new foods. Mostly sleeping well at night, but not always just to keep me on my toes!
My school starts in 2 weeks, which is also when Declan's 4th birthday party will be.(A week early so to avoid the people unable to attend on the holiday weekend his birthday actually falls on).
Oh, and since most of my shows are on hiatus until the fall (except for Game of Thrones), I have been able to read a lot more, which I love.
Here is my reading list, if you have a book you would recommend I add to it, please let me know!
Red Princess Series (halfway through the 2nd of 3 books)
Of Ice and Fire Series (game of thrones is based on this)
The Hunger Games Series (because it is too trendy to be ignored!)
and for some crazy reason, I am planning to reread the Madeline L'Engle series that includes A Wrinkle in Time, etc.
That's all for now.
