Soooo... long story short.... got laid off from my job last Monday, but ended up with a job as a dance teacher that Friday. There is a dance studio awaiting an owner or at least a part time occupant that I am pursuing...going to talk more details with people this Turkey Day. Thanks be to God, dreams are coming true.
I have never felt so relaxed in my life. Two days after leaving my job, my skin cleared up to how it was in highschool. I sleep so well now. I love having the time with my family as well. Until my job actually starts we are living on state assistance, which will be put to use buying food storage that is sorely needed.
I don't miss my desk jobs. Not at all. All I ever have wanted to do was continue dancing, but had to give that up for supporting my family. And now I can dance until I die! I'm very happy. I am however, going through stress withdrawals. It's coming down off of 7 years of pent up stress... I am wonderful one moment and then the next sometimes I just tear up and cry. Not because I am sad or depressed or anything, just a release I guess. That is the best I can come up with anyways...I just hope it doesn't last long.
The layoff could definitely could have come at a better time for my bills... biting my lip right now for one in particular...so far that is the only stress I have.
We have 6 inches of snow already, it is 11 degrees here and the roads are icy until you hit the snow line. It is amazingly pretty. The deer are everywhere foraging for whats left of the blackberry bushes, the chickens huddle together on the fence, and the cats are slugs on the rug in front of our amazing fireplace.
Peepers is 15 months now, starting to run and talk and just have a grand ol' time getting into things. Wont let me put him down...which I'm totally fine with!!!!!! Hubs is starting up a wood carving business, he finally found something he is amazing at. He is happier than I have ever seen him.
I have discovered that for $1.50 I can get a Jumbo Jack that is twice the size of anything McDonalds and Wendy's has... not that we eat out alot...heck, we live 20 minutes up a mountain from any part of town... but holy cow... for value menu crap, its good crap.
I changed my layout and background. I thought the white was appropriate. Clean Slate. Starting over. That is what I feel like - starting over. Things are so new again, I am looking forward to it!
