Life is Hard for a Control Freak

When is this going to end?  My poor husband has hurt his back 3 times at work in the last 3 weeks and we are suspecting a herniated disc.  Today, he is going to the med center because he hurt it in a crisis situation dealing with a client.  On top of this, he is beyond stressed from the ridiculous workload that his company expects one person to do.  So stressed, that he can't even really relax.  He's been seriously looking for a new job for almost a year now, but he's getting nothing.  And what can we do about it?  He doesn't really have any skills except for in the field he is currently in, which he does NOT want to do anymore.  We have no money for him to go to school to get more, and he doesn't want to go anyway.  He wouldn't even know what to study.  And he's the money-earner, so he can't take just any job.  I could go get a job, if I had a car, and if I knew that I would get paid more than enough to cover daycare.  But I can't earn that much, since I have no marketable skills either.  And it's not right for our family to do that anyway.  We've been praying every night for so long for him to get a new job, for some kind of relief to come along, and we are getting silence.  While I believe that there is some reason for that silence, it is still so extremely frustrating to see him shouldering this burden, and seeming to get no help, no lightening of the load.  Something is going to break, and I'm so afraid that it's going to be him.  Something needs to be done, something needs to change, but there is nothing that either of us can do to change the situation.

In good news, I got a 99% in my last ever (hurrah!) anatomy and physiology class, but only because circumstances forced me to take the final as an open book.  So, while I'm a little proud of my A (some of that at least comes from a paper I had to research and type up, which I did do without cheating.  This paper is part of the reason I had no time to study for the final, resulting in the open-bookness of the final), I'm not as proud of it as I have been for my other A's.  In my mind, I give myself a C+.  Because I can't remember this stuff, even if it turned around and bit me.  I'd be all, "What?  What just bit me?  I've never seen such a creature as this my life.  It's an anatomy&physiology, you say?  I've never heard of it.  I hope it didn't give me rabies.  It seems to be foaming at the mouth a little," if it did.  So, I get a break until the 19th, when my next class starts.  I'm a little more excited for this one, because I'm getting back into the herbs and such with it.

I will be watching, and just like Santa Claus, if you are naughty, I will hunt you down and feed you to my reindeer (I keep them in my shed). I reserve the right to delete any and all comment that make my feelgoods feel bad.
