All Good Things Must Come to An End!

As some of you have heard and some who have not, I was laid off from my job on Monday. Although I was very sad about this, I have to look on the bright side. I had a wonderful 2 years working for the Meservy's and helping bring income into our home. I loved seeing Jill everyday and LOVED being with Julia! Those are the 2 things I will miss the most about my job. The money was nice also, but hopefully I can get that somewhere else, but Jill and Julia cannot be replaced! Thanks Jill and Rich for hiring me and giving me 2 good years of employment and for also being great bosses! Thanks Jill for being my friend and confidant! Thanks for all the laughter and tears we shed together and for being such a great friend. Thanks for sharing your daughter with me and for letting me be in her life! I truely love her as my own and will miss her everyday that I am not there. So don't be surprised if one day I just show up on your door step and ask if Julia can play!

As for what happens now! Well, I do get a small stipend from City Council and I filed for unemployment. So I am hoping between those 2 I can make atleast 50% of what I was making. For the other 50% I am going to be working with my friend Kim. Many of you know her, she owns her own silk screening business and has been my friend since I was 2 years old. I have brought her many customers over the years and she has now offered for me to work with her. So I think next week we will get together and make a game plan and go forward! So if any of you need shirts or know of anyone who needs shirts, just let me know! I am now your silk screening specialist.J/K! But seriously we are looking for new customers so let me know if you or anyone you know is interested in shirts or anything else that can be silk screened! The best thing about working with Kim will be my freedom. I will be able to come and go as I please as long as our work is done as promised to our customers.

A new chapter in my life and I am actually really excited. It is amazing how when one door closes another one opens! So I am going to be a stay at home mom, kind of! It has been very nice this week to be at home with the boys and do things with them. We went to the movies, went swimming, hung out with the Belew's and have cleaned the house! Next week I will be able to help at Andrew's band camp and get the boys ready for school to start.
