Well, It seems my mood about things goes up and down! One day, I think it is all going to be okay. The next day, I think it is all going to Hell in a handbasket! I thought that I might actually get more time with my kids. The reality of it all is that I think after May, Dave and I will probably be folding the business. I have such mixed feelings about this. I am going to have to work full time. No doubt about it. I really wanted a little extra time at home, but I just don't see it being possible. The kids are going to be very disappointed, but I will just have to make the most of what time I do have with them. The upside is that Dave will be home more. I really miss him alot.

Even though being fired was not such a good thing, I still think that it will end up being the right thing. Just have to dig my heels in and make life work I guess. Now I don't have my job as a safety net any longer, I have been looking for a full time job. Hopefully something will come through. I need to put into print that I wish I had listened to my mother and gone to college!! Would be nice if I could find something that gave me early morning hours. I would even work the graveyard shift I think. I could sleep while the kids were in school and be with them when they are here. Just have to wait and see I guess. Have had a couple of part time offers, might have to take those. Don't know if unemployment is going to come through, but it sure would help until I find something.
