I only have a couple minutes while Charlie is contentedly drinking his juice. I'm on the computer to look for jobs and decided I'd rather update everyone regarding our new lifestyle.
Basically, last week was fabulous! Charlie napped like a champ, we had outings of various kinds each day (Wannamker sprinklers, grocery store, lunch with Daddy) and we learned some fun facts about Washington DC and South Carolina. Honestly, it was much better and more fun than I'd ever imagined.
That said, I am still looking for a new job -- for a couple reasons. One - one good week does not mean we're going to love this long term. Two -- we are still working through our finances, i.e. exactly what do we "need" to spend each week vs. what we used to spend each week and how will paying off a floating object or two with my severance impact that spending...
Since we do have my severance to buy us some time, at this point I'm still looking for another "sweet deal" like I had before (good money from home with flexible hours). As the year winds down, if I'm still looking, we may start relaxing our criteria and determining what lifestyle changes we can handle.
In the meantime, though, Charlie and I just finished Table Time (our at-home replacement for Circle Time) and are about to head out to Walmart, because he has decided that since Daddy wears undershirts, he needs to wear them, too. That's our adventure for today!
