it's official. yesterday, i was told at work that my firm cannot afford to keep me. My last day will be next friday, june 18. I'm sad and happy at the same time. Sad b/c it's a loss of an income (though meager it was since I was only working part time), but happy because I knew this wasn't the firm for me. I needed to work with a firm with more resources. The partners weren't impressive and I want to work in an environment where I dont feel as if I may know more than the partners. I want to be challenged. So good news is, I am being pushed to find a firm that fits with me. Sad news, I'll probably have to work full time. It's hard to find a part time job in my profession...if you all haven't guessed what I do by now....other sad news...I just signed Kaua and I up to attend a traveling preschool, which will begin in August. We would be attending Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8:30 to 10:30am. I was hoping to meet other mommies and connec there, because I haven't had very much luck making new friends here, especially friends who are new mommies like me. I so want to have play dates and was hoping the preschool would be the way to do it. I've tried signing up online to find other new mommies, but no such luck. This town is just too small, so there's not much websites or activity online for new mommies.
If I'm working full time, I may not have time for that...but heck who knows, maybe I can arrange my schedule around it. I guess first things first, I need to actually get hired somewhere. I've sent out three resumes to three of the biggest firms here. I'm planning to send out at least 1 more, hopefully more. The job market here is tight since we're in a smaller town...but I'm thinking positive and praying and speaking to "that mountain".
The good news is we live almost for free right now since we're living with my mom, so we can afford to go back on just one income for now. Obviously, our house hunting plans will have to be on hold, but if there's anytime to not have a job, it's now, while we live for free. And the best news of all...I'll be staying at home with kaua again. SAHM-ville, here I come!
Now...what in the heck should I get DH for his first father's day!??
