Easing into the routine

Today was a long day. J had his first day @ work hardening and came home wanting to go directly to bed. Apparently he forgot that when you have children, sleep occasionally becomes a luxury and she who got NO sleep gets priority on the sleep list. He lucked out since we ALL had a long day and the littles went to bed very, very early and T and I are sitting here with fresh brownies and an evening movie. This will be a "light" week for him, he only goes 2 days. Next week is a FULL week. It's going to be a long haul.

In better news, the co is getting him a rental car. We have to front the gas (b/c we just have TONS of extra cash lying around) but we should get it all back in mileage reimbursement, in theory. If the theory is false, they will have to figure a way around it since I am stuck paying out of pocket for day care until the aid comes through.

I have several job prospects and one very exciting possibility on the horizon. I need to apply for the jobs and study the requirements of the exciting possibility. I'm finally starting to come out of my slump and things don't feel quite so hopeless anymore. Tiring and crazy, yes. Hopeless, no.
