I'm Back

The first few weeks of my son's life, I didn't post here that much because I was too busy cooing over how fabulous he was. After that, I didn't post here because he was screaming. All. The. Time.

But behold! I have discovered the wonders of the pacifier! My ears are finally getting a break.

In other news, my husband might quit his job today. His work is funded by a grant that expires in July. His boss is demanding that my husband justify (read: beg for) more funding. That's perfectly reasonable, except for the fact that for the last two years, his boss has been demanding this every few weeks. At this point, if his boss doesn't have confidence in my husband's project, my husband doesn't see the point in begging for more funding.

I think my husband would feel differently if he felt like his boss respected him. But the boss has made it very clear that he doesn't think my husband will be successful. Why stay in a job like that?

Well, for the salary and the health insurance. We do have savings, but my husband is extremely stressed. I don't know how I feel. A part of me wants my husband to be free from such a demoralizing boss, but another part of me is afraid of the change. We have no idea what my husband would do for a job if this doesn't work out, so we're both feeling a bit unfettered.

Of course, there is a small, irresponsible part of me that is screaming, "ROAD TRIP!"
