We lost power for four days. Daycare was closed so I couldn’t go to work. I went back to work the following Monday - in the pouring rain, hitting a ton of traffic - and walked into a warning letter. I had a feeling I would get one but it still sucked. So I talked to my boss, trying hard not to cry and I told him I wouldn’t mind it if the company laid me off. So they are. My last day will be the 30th.
I am so happy and yet so terrified at the same time. My future is unknown, at a time when maybe it shouldn’t be. I’m trying to keep my mom’s house which means mortgage payments. B is scared as well. I totally understand but I’m choosing to take this leap of faith and recognize that my boys are young and I will never, ever regret being able to stay home with them. For however long I can.

I am thinking about you during this time. I am making the change from working to staying at home as well. Its something I never thought I would do, but I am looking more and more forward to it. I am sure it will all work out but it is definitely unknown and scary at the moment.
