Life Changes...

Well, what to do now? I have asked myself this very question several times over the past few days. The company I have devoted much of my daytime hours to over the past 7 years officially closed last Friday and I have found myself without a job. Often when I am emotionally unstable I find myself cleaning, or working in the yard, or doing something just to keep my mind and hands occupied. Over the weekend I accomplished the laundry, deep cleaning the kitchen, getting through all of the papers I have been putting off for ages, rearranging the front room, and then I started in on de-junking my girls bedrooms... Sunday, Shailyn told me "Mom, you need a job, I don't like being your employee!" I had to laugh because unfortunately I found myself giving deadlines for having certain things done, allotting certain time frames for breaks and even a lunch hour... That is when it really hit me that I no longer have a job! A very hard thing for me to swallow especially in the current state of our economy. I had plan "B" and have been working a night job for a little over a year but about a month ago it got put on hold due to a terrible accident with my boss. So now, I get the opportunity to stay home and do.... I don't know what! That is between 9:00 and 3:00 then my girls come home. Today I have to admit has been one of the longest days I can remember, we had homework done by 4:30, including reading... Tim cooked lasagna for dinner, and I had everything all cleaned up by 6! We usually don't eat until after that. I of course am so used to having my schedule so jam packed with some type of errands I don't know what to do with myself when I have so much time on my hands! But, as the saying goes ~ Everything happens for a reason. - I just wish the happenings came with the explanation!
