Hello all,
Sorry I haven't been around. First it was the busy end to first semester and then husband and I went out of town for a couple of days to celebrate his new job. After being unemployed for almost three years, husband was just hired to teach math at my school! He decided after a couple of years of unemployment that the corporate world was just not going to hire someone close to 60. He decided to change careers and went back to school to get his teaching certificate since he had a math degree.
He was hired a month ago to teach part-time but they called him right after we got out of school and asked if he would be interested in switching to full-time next semester.
So while it is a third of what he used to make, he is working and happy. Hooray!
We spent a couple of days at The Inn at Christmas Place (a beautiful hotel decorated for Christmas year round) in Pigeon Forge and spent a day at Dollywood looking at the Christmas lights and seeing the shows.
difficult child is still "looking" for a job. She had an interview Tuesday at a retail store and thinks it went well. In the meantime, we are wondering if we should set a deadline for a job since she is draining our savings with us having to totally support her. The only thing holding me back is the bad economy. I know how hard it is to find a job.
She is coming over on Christmas Eve and spending the night. easy child will be here, too. I am hoping for a peaceful Christmas.
