Still have the jitters

Still not quite there yet. DH called the guy and accepted the offer and asked when he would like him to start. Hmmmmm....not sure. Things still have to be figured out since this is a new plan they're putting into effect. Dh decided to push the envelope and bit and tell him that he still has interviews and it was also the union reps opinion that he keep looking. We still think it's a firm offer but there's a certain underlying feeling although whatever is certain in life especially these days.

I just have the jitters and I can't shake them. We've been through tough times before and I don't think I've ever felt like this. I'm having a tough time concentrating and so much going back & forth at work with people talking at the same time but about two different things that I just wanted to put my hands over my ears and tell everyone to stop. I'm eating everything in sight but yet can't sit down and eat a meal. I just can't get a handle. DH seems to be in a lot more control than I am about this whole thing and I guess it's a good thing since 2 of me would be more than either one of us could handle.

So I'm taking a deep breath in and trying to get a grip and get a positive grip on things.

The uncertainty has to be so hard. I wish you guys had a solid answer and knew more what to expect

Sending you hugs and prayers, Susan. I'm sure the jitters are NOT helped by the other things going on...engagement parties with stupid bosses getting in the way, etc.


Praying things are resolved SOON.

Susan, I don't know how you and your DH are handling this at all.

Susan like the others said, take a deep breath, open a bottle of wine and try to relax. I have a feeling everything will work out fine too but of coarse that is easy for all of us to say, we are not standing in your shoes. Vent here, scream, drink and eat if it helps. You have lots going on right now and I am sure it is difficult to keep it all together. Sending you major hugs, positive thoughts and prayers.
