Silence usually means changes

That's how it goes over here on my blog. If I'm radio silent it means a big change is coming.

The big change is not another baby, thank god we are getting the factory shut down. The boys are amazing and perfect and really we don't want to rock the boat. Oliver still isn't sleeping great and Carson isn't potty trained.

The big change is I got a job. A good job in fact. The choice was not made lightly, Chris' job has been on the chopping block for a while. It's scary to look at our Rent and bills and know that with out his income we'd be screwed. We realistically could not afford to live on unemployment and it would be a lot of stress if/when his site closes. It's looking up now, but you just don't know and it was a wake up call that we honestly need a second income.

I found the boys a daycare. They'll be there 3 days a week and Chris will be home on the weekends and I'll be home Monday/Tuesday. I'm nervous to leave them, it will be a big adjustment. But I'm excited this will bring a lot of good things for my family. Like searching for a new home in 3-4 years. We'll actually be able to save a decent down payment. We'll be able to go on real vacations, and put money away for a rainy day. I'm most excited about house hunting. Getting an idea of what we will be able to buy. I have not allowed myself to even look at real estate for the last couple years because we just were not ready, and while it will take a few years to save a solid down payment. It will be great to be moving forward!

So yeah, there it is. Also my computer is broken so I tapped this out on my trusty iPhone. Excuse any and all typos and sad grammar.

  1. Oh no... broken computers make me sad. But, YAY for a job! I've been dealing with the same issues over here. Without my hubby's job we'd be screwed. But, we also can't afford for me to find a measly part-time job that will only pay for daycare. So, I've been applying to full-time positions at some places and have picked up freelancing in the meantime. I look forward to hearing how it is going from stay-at-home to working mom!
