The Beginning

I was comfortable with my life.  I was comfortable with working Monday-Friday.  I was comfortable with my 3 year old son going to play with my Cousin or Sister and their kiddos all day.  I was comfortable with my job.  Then January 16th, it all changed.

I knew the company was struggling, I just didn't think that I would be the one to go.... I should have known.  I should have seen it in the history of dealing with the people of that company.  I didn't.  It came as a total shock, when my Boss, who I thought of as a friend, told me those dreaded words: "I'm going to have to let you go."

That is to say, it was a shock.  I let him know my feelings, and even had him convinced to NOT Lay me off, and to go a different way with it all.  Once I got home though, I thought about it.... would it really be so bad?  Financially, we would take a hit, but it wasn't a Death Blow.  But could I do it?

Could I go to being a Stay-At-Home-Mother?  How could I do it?  How would my son adjust?  Those thoughts were the most terrifying of all!

It has been 2 weeks.  I have had my ups, I have had my downs.  I have laughed, and cried.  I am adjusting.  I still feel lost, but at the same time, feel like this is where maybe I should have been.  Who knows, maybe I will FINALLY get this little Monster Potty Trained!!

Luckily we are in the middle of a house RENO, and move... that has kept me busy, and I assume it will continue to do so for the near future....

What will happen after though?
