When it rains...
you better find an umbrella.
It has been awhile. Right when we returned from our trip, I started a new job. The job seemed like a dream, I could bring Thaya with me, nurse when I needed to, and only work 4 days. Unfortunately, the job didn't pan out as advertised to me. Due to incredibly long hours, no breaks, and concern over Thaya's safety, I had to leave by giving an immediate resignation. Very unlike me, but given the severity of the situation I was left with no choice.
I've decided to make lemonade, and I am going to use my unemployed status as a reason to go back to school to finish my masters. This year is going to be tough, but I plan to pound it out to get our family in a better situation financially and in regards to job security.
In knitting news, I have 5 sweaters for Thaya to the "finishing" stage. I hope to have them done by Friday! Ok, maybe Sunday...
and I leave you this because a post isn't a post without a picture!
Good luck with your masters degree! And good for you for listening to your intuition and leaving a bad situation.

Sounds like your making some wonderful lemonade! Good for you going back to school, and leaving a job that was no good.

That sounds like kick-ass lemonade ;0)
Hang in there...

Wow, Thaya is getting bit!
Good for you for standing up for your family and high-tailing it out of that job.

Good luck with the transition back to school. Too bad about the job, but sounds like a good choice for you. Love the baby pic!

Wow! Good luck with your masters! Sometimes life gives you exactly what you need (even when it seems otherwise at the time!)
