Babies, Books, Bible Studies and Boredom

Today makes officially 5 weeks since I was laid-off from CNN. I have dealt with it, and I feel a sense of closure. I've been able to stay in touch with the people that I care to continue communicating with. Had a few cool lunch dates, and even went out to dinner a few days ago with my former manager. Mmmmm...Thai!

I was extremely sensitive (hormonal) for a while there, and ended up cutting off a lot of people that I felt betrayed by. I now realize that it wasn't about me at all. I reacted hastily which I regret, but I simply don't apologize for it. I'm almost 8 months pregnant with my 3rd child, and no one in my house has a job right now. Sue me.

The good news is that I am certain that everything will be okay now. You can't deny God's existence if you just look at the timing of all of this. I'm basically sitting around resting while the company is still paying me. Once everything runs out salary and insurance-wise, my hubby will be working by then and we will all be covered with his insurance. The only concern, if there was one, would be getting back in the job market after the baby is born without feeling too rusty. But things ALWAYS have a way of working according to God's purpose for us!

I read a new book recently called "The Killer Inside Me" by Jim Thompson. It's classified as American noir...kind of like "No Country For Old Men" is Western noir. I really enjoyed the 1st person perspective we were offered from the actual killer. It gets pretty creepy the further into the book you go. Truth be told, the only reason I bought the book was because the movie is currently being produced. One of the central characters is a district attorney who is portrayed by...wait for it....Simon Baker! :-) Let's just be honest, that's the only reason for this recent interest. But I'm going to check out two of Jim Thompson's other noir novels over the summer after I finish the Harry Potter series. Still have HP Book 6 and 7 to finish.

I joined an AMAZING women's bible study recently!! It's a Beth Moore series, and those of you who are familiar with Beth Moore can understand why I'm so excited!! She is simply anointed by God to teach His word to women and men alike. Last night was our first meeting. I'm looking forward to reconnecting and having fellowship with other women my age and older. Mostly, I'm excited about reconnecting with God through the hearing of His word. Our facilitator is one of my favorite people in the world so it's going to be a wonderful time all around!

Finally, when I'm not with the kids or studying the Bible, I'm just bored. Okay, to be honest, I haven't really gotten into studying the Bible much yet. I've just been lying around like a friggin' rug. So tired all of the time. Again, this baby is obviously HUGE and my body is still kind of on the small size! Yikes. Speaking of boredom I'm going to go lie down on the recliner. I can't get comfortable in my bed AT ALL anymore so I sleep on my hubby's recliner now. Nothing is comfortable for me, but it's the best option I have in the house.

Until next time!
