Last night I was talking to Willow and said wasn't it lucky that I got laid off at the right time to be able to be around for both you and Michael's winter breaks?
Yes, getting laid off sucks. Yes, now we are struggling financially again. Yes, a tree fell and totaled one of our cars. Yes, it sucks looking for another job when one is older....
But. We have our health. I have opportunities to spend extra time with my children, who are quickly growing up...even quicker than I thought they were last year or the year before.
And for the first time, they each had a different time that their schools had a week off. Two weeks ago, Willow had time off from school. This week, Michael has a week off. Giving me a unique opportunity to spend time with each of them individually.
This lay off has also given me time to spend on my health and well being, which I have sorely been neglecting the last two-three years. Going to aqua aerobics and boxing when I want to is such a wonderful thing!
So...while anxiety is high, and I won't lie--there has been and will be some sleepless nights of worry--I am making the best of it and moving along....
(Oh, and I have had two interviews--and another one this week...so...there is hope!)
