Stop the roller coaster, I WANT OFF!!!!

In less than 24 hours, one job has been lost, one has been gained. My mom still isn't back in her house, she thinks she'll have no problem getting back in after the initial divorce hearing next Tuesday, I'm not as optimistic.

This morning, I had an interview for a position at Gloria Jeans at West Towne. I was offered the position on the spot and tenatively accepted, pending talking to my husband. There were logistics to be worked out and he wasn't even aware I had the interview, so to come home and say "Honey, I got a job" would be a bit of a shock. He's been back in the mode of liking me to be working from home. I love it too, but I'm seriously not cut out to be an at-home-only mom.

This afternoon, he lost his job. Long story, don't want to get into it. I'm not at all happy and feel like he could have prevented this, but he's adamant that it wasn't his doing. The upside is that he came straight home and started looking for work. A temp agency he used to work with is trying to get him back to work by Monday.

This evening, I found out that I will have my first article published very soon. I've been writing on Associated Content and had my first story that I submitted accepted WITH payment! I will add a link as soon as it's up!

And about 45 minutes ago, I got word that one of my contracts is picking up with the amount of business they get in, which means that there will be more work for me! Since I accepted a lower paying position than what I would like, I'm planning to keep doing transcription, at least through the end of the year. With any luck, after that I will be back in school and too busy for two jobs in addition to that mommy job (which is still my favorite, even though I'm going batty being home all the time).

I would post another cute Khaila pic, but apparently one of the hard drives is on the fritz and I can't get to it. I will post another soon!
