I've been doing freelance right along, but the $$ hasn't been steady or consistent. I love writing for this particular newspaper, and I hope it eventually leads to a steady job, but essentially we've been a 2-person financial obligationl household on a 1-person income since March 1.
Things have been tight. So I went to a local department store last week. My husband works there, and I worked for the company up in Atlanta. They hired me as a shoe stockperson.
I really enjoy it. It's challenging and I get to be behind the scenes. My main task has been organizing the stockroom: things have been put every-which-way, and it's been wild. In Atlanta, I worked the register and folded clothes. This is a lot more fun!
It feels good to be contributing to the family again.
My son is going to daycare full-time, but is home by 4 everyday. So it's not a sunup-to-sundown situation at all.
Speaking of my son, we had the meeting with the school principal, the county's autism specialist, his therapist, and his future teacher.
On recent autism tests, Sean passed with flying colors, meaning he doesn't meet qualifications for autism or special services. In other words, he's just a regular kid. Socially, he's at his age range, but academically he's at a 6 year old level. They recommended testing him for gifted in a few years, if this keeps up.
It's full-speed ahead now for him attending the pre-K.

Hope everyone is doing well!
