We are having a really intense
thunderstorm right now! Keep your fingers crossed we don’t
loose power.

As most of you know, we have come to the end of
my lovely SAHM lifestyle and I now need to star earning some
money. I’m pretty bummed about this, but I’m more bummed about
our current financial situation, so additional earnings will be
good. Anyway, for the last bunch of weeks I’ve been pursuing
different ideas and trying to figure out what would be the best
plan for me, the family, and the bank account. None of the
options are thrilling (mostly because I’m pretty happy with
life as it is, finances aside) and I’ve mostly narrowed it down
to childcare or a possible web developer position at a local
company. All last week I was saying, “I wish someone would just
give me a sign! Tell me what to do!” All last week I was
waiting on the hiring lady for the web dev position to get back
from vacation. She got back on Wednesday and I didn’t hear from
her, so I called her on Friday. She called me back later in the
day and said they just hired a new Director of IT and that
person would be starting next week (wow!!! the
thunder is scary!!!) and that person would be in
charge of filling the web dev position. She then said they
would be in touch in a week to 10 days. (the sky just
opened up with a huge burst of lightening and now it’s
downpouring. hope Alan gets home soon!) So, knowing
what I know about the corporate world, there is no way someone
is going to be making hiring decisions a week or two after
starting. Highly unlikely anyway. ARG!! So now I’m torn. Should
I wait a few more weeks (the indecision is killing me!) for an
offer I may or may not get for a job that probably will pay
well, but will result in my babies in someone else’s care
full-time? Or should I just go the childcare route with ok pay
and the potential to go insane from all the kids (including
mine, of course) and minimal grownup interactions?? I’m
probably going to go the childcare route because we need $$
sooner rather than later and because I’m just tired of thinking
about it. I’m ready to move on. Wish me luck and saneness! :)

Still have power, though I’ve
lost my Internet connection so you’ll see this message when I’m
back online :)
