Curveball
Even though I haven’t shared this news with most of my friends, I feel like I’ve got to get it out. Â Write about it, talk about it and hear all the wonderful tips I know you guys will provide me with.
On Friday morning I was informed that due to budget cuts my position was being eliminated and as of June 1st I no longer have a job.
Talk about the curse of Friday the 13th.
I’m sad, scared and overwhelmed by the “what the hell are we going to do?” questions. Â Did I love my job and plan on being there for the rest of my life? Â No, but I would have liked to have left on my own terms, when it would work out for us. Â If it would have ever worked out for us.
I want to work on photography, I want that to be my full-time work so badly and I want to spend my time with my baby. Â The thought of putting him in a full-time daycare center so I can make a drive and work a full 9 hour day away from the house makes me want to vomit. Â My mom says sometimes the universe gives us the desires of our hearts when we are too scared to get them on our own. Â Maybe this is one of the whole blessings in disguise we hear about? Â I hope so.
For right now, we are taking a huge dip in income. Â I know so many of you have moved from two incomes to one after babies so I would love to know how you made it work. Â I know we can get through it and I’m praying that I can make money elsewhere, specifically through Elizabeth Rose. Â I am praying that my business will be blessed and I have the opportunity to make it happen.
Prayers, advice, wisdom and tips are welcomed and appreciated.
