Very stressed...needed to vent....

Hi ladies! Need to rant to some people who are not involved.... So I want to start with the fact that I am very blessed in my life. I have a great support system and a loving family. For the most part, we are pretty lucky in our lives! However, the last few weeks things have taken a stressful turn. I am trying my best to relax and go with the flow, but I will admit this is pretty bad timing.
The first thing happened a few weeks ago. My husband called me when he got to work and said that someone accused him of asking them to smoke pot with him after work. Now I will admit, my husband is an occasional smoker, but would never approach someone at work about it. The guy that accused him is an ex-cop! My husband has made some pretty stupid decisions in life, but seriously?! So they sent him up for a random drug test, which unfortunately he failed. We knew he would would fail. Like I said, completely aware that he does this occasionally. I do not and he has always been super considerate and won't do it around me or in our house. He does it with friends at times. We had looked at his work policy when he started his job to make sure he would never be in jeopardy should someone find out. According to the policy, it specifically states that "we do not discriminate against off duty drug use". We thought we would be fine. I am very aggravated with his employer for sending him for the drug test on the grounds that it did not break policy. So at this point, we are not sure when he can return to work and his boss is deciding whether or not he will be able to keep his job. I should add that his director is brand new (3 months) and has already fired 6 people! We are very stressed as his earned time has run out at this point and he is now working without pay. It has been going on almost 3 weeks and we still have no idea what is going on!
The second thing is that my sister is pregnant. She had been trying for 5 years and it took 3 rounds of IVF. Well the other night she had some pretty significant bleeding and went in to her OB. She has a cervical tear. She has been put on strict bed rest for at least the next 10 days. The baby seems to be doing well according to the ultrasound, but my sister is a mess. My shower is also this weekend and she is the host. I completely understand that she feels bad but I have been telling her that her child is more important. Other family members can handle the shower without her, though I am bummed she won't be there. It is hard to see her so upset. And she has been trying for so hard and just told family members this week!
So sorry for the long rant. I needed to just share it out there with someone. I am not usually someone who stresses but this is definitely pushing my limits. I know it is not good for the baby, and I am trying to keep myself as relaxed as possible. Its just not always easy to turn off my brain... I am hopeful we get some answers soon....
Thanks for listening!
