I&#8217;m pretty bummed about this, but I&#8217;m more bummed about<br \/>\n    our current financial situation, so additional earnings will be<br \/>\n    good. Anyway, for the last bunch of weeks I&#8217;ve been pursuing<br \/>\n    different ideas and trying to figure out what would be the best<br \/>\n    plan for me, the family, and the bank account. None of the<br \/>\n    options are thrilling (mostly because I&#8217;m pretty happy with<br \/>\n    life as it is, finances aside) and I&#8217;ve mostly narrowed it down<br \/>\n    to childcare or a possible web developer position at a local<br \/>\n    company. All last week I was saying, &#8220;I wish someone would just<br \/>\n    give me a sign! Tell me what to do!&#8221; All last week I was<br \/>\n    waiting on the hiring lady for the web dev position to get back<br \/>\n    from vacation. She got back on Wednesday and I didn&#8217;t hear from<br \/>\n    her, so I called her on Friday. She called me back later in the<br \/>\n    day and said they just hired a new Director of IT and that<br \/>\n    person would be starting next week <em>(wow!!! the<br \/>\n    thunder is scary!!!)<\/em> and that person would be in<br \/>\n    charge of filling the web dev position. She then said they<br \/>\n    would be in touch in a week to 10 days. <em>(the sky just<br \/>\n    opened up with a huge burst of lightening and now it&#8217;s<br \/>\n    downpouring. hope Alan gets home soon!)<\/em> So, knowing<br \/>\n    what I know about the corporate world, there is no way someone<br \/>\n    is going to be making hiring decisions a week or two after<br \/>\n    starting. Highly unlikely anyway. ARG!! So now I&#8217;m torn. Should<br \/>\n    I wait a few more weeks (the indecision is killing me!) for an<br \/>\n    offer I may or may not get for a job that probably will pay<br \/>\n    well, but will result in my babies in someone else&#8217;s care<br \/>\n    full-time? Or should I just go the childcare route with ok pay<br \/>\n    and the potential to go insane from all the kids (including<br \/>\n    mine, of course) and minimal grownup interactions?? I&#8217;m<br \/>\n    probably going to go the childcare route because we need $$<br \/>\n    sooner rather than later and because I&#8217;m just tired of thinking<br \/>\n    about it. I&#8217;m ready to move on. Wish me luck and saneness! :)<\/p>\n<p><em>Still have power, though I&#8217;ve<br \/>\n    lost my Internet connection so you&#8217;ll see this message when I&#8217;m<br \/>\n    back online :)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are having a really intense thunderstorm right now!
