Monica McQueen

I'm a happily married mother of 2 boys!

Hello everybody!
My name is Monica McQueen. I'm a California girl who was born & raised in a small town in Northern San Diego County.

I married the man of my dreams May 20, 2006. His name is Ryan McQueen & not only is he a wonderful husband, he's an amazing daddy!

On May 10, 2008, 10 days short of our 2nd anniversary, we had our first son Tyler Patrick McQueen. He weighed 7lbs 2oz & measured 19.75 inches.

On June 15, 2009, right after Ty turned 1 & we celebrated our 3rd anniversary, we had our 2nd son, Trevor Ryan McQueen. He also measured 19.75 inches, but, he weighed 9lbs, 3oz!

We moved back to our old stomping grounds when Ty was 6 months old & so now we're close to both our families again.

I will be blogging hopefully on a daily basis, but I may be referencing experiences from when I was a child until now that I'm a mom.

I hope to keep everyone & anyone interested & coming back for more, as this is my main means of communication to the real world right now, while we keep busy with the 2 little ones at home.

Thanks for reading (listening), & hope to see you coming back every now & then to check in.

I will also be posting all of Ryan's blogs under "Pages" by Posh Daddy
Have a wonderful day!

Hello All!
My name is Ryan McQueen. I was born in San Diego, CA in 1980. My Mother and Father had separated, so my Mother, with my Grandmothers help, brought me home to my Grandmothers house in Point Loma, San Diego, CA.

At some point, my Mom married my Stepdad and they moved to Escondido, I believe. From there we moved to Fallbrook, to the house that he built and finished in 1985. I lived there until I was in my 20’s and ventured out to live and support myself. I had a few failed attempts but then in 2006, I married Monica & moved in to her apartment in La Jolla. We secretly ran off and married in Las Vegas at a little wedding chapel across the street from the Stratosphere.

We moved a couple times and have settled in Fallbrook, so we can be close to our parents. Prior to the move, we had Tyler Patrick McQueen and she was pregnant with Trevor Ryan McQueen. We have been living there since November of 2008.

I am now unemployed. I have been unemployed since May 6th 2009. I walked into work, my supervisor informed me that my services were no longer needed.

I was in absolute shock and disbelief. So many things raced through my mind … What did I do wrong? What is my wife going to think? What am I going to do about work? Why did they let me go? We have a baby on the way, what am I going to do?

I still have no idea why they let me go. Being an at-will employee sucked in the end. I was the 4th one to go in a short period of time. It seemed as though some changes were being made and I wasn’t going to get to be a part of it. I’m not happy that things happened the way they did. I made some mistakes but I considered myself a good employee. I am very thankful though that I was able to work there for 3.5 years. I was taken care of, for the most part and I did well at my job. I’ll miss so many of the employees. I wasn’t allowed to be friendly with the people where I worked. It was part of the position, so that we wouldn’t have a biased view if something were to happen with an employee. If I could, I would now befriend many of the people there. They were kind and I enjoyed talking with them. They may now know that I consider them friends.

The job market sucks but fortunately, I was eligible for unemployment and have helped support my family with that while I continue to look for work, along with 67,000 other people in San Diego County.

If I wanted sales, there is no end of opportunities. I don’t like bothering people and I don’t want to depend on a commissioned position to support my family. To support myself, that’s a different story, but now I have 3 others to look after.

Wish me luck with my search. So far, it has been depressing.
