The Color of My Parachut

The color, my friends, is a happy one and I would say it is yellow. A bright sunny yellow, at least for the moment.

I am searching for a job, just not very hard. I have decided that January would be for Jen. To hell with what anyone else thinks about what I did or how I handled myself last month. It is today and tomorrow that matters.

Hubby is being infinitely patient and the kids are enjoying me being home. There is a relief I can't explain but only can say that I can smile and feel a little free. Although, I feel the man creeping in on my conciousness and soon need to decide on my path in life.

A huge *hug* to Scott for the title of this post and the prompting of me getting out of my shell. I have a lot to say and need to get cracking.

Taking care of you is most important. *hugs*

I missed you! I'm so glad that you are enjoying some time for yourself and your family.

That path in life? Will come when it is right.

Hey Jen,
It's good to hear from ya. All I can tell you is to keep on keeping on.

I've found that this thing I call life is gonna happen whether I'm fighting it, or going with the flow. It has taken me alot of years (and it's an ongoing process) to just go with the flow.

Take care and shake the bushes from time to time so we know you're still there.
Peace

Jen - You can't see me, but you'll have to trust that I'm raising my glass to you.

CHEERS!

You definitely deserve a break. Feel free to regroup and spend time with the family. I don't know all that you've been going through--but, take care of yourself. :)

{hugs} and I hope your parachute doesn't fade!

Rose said...

*points up* at embrassingly dorky reference to your title.

What I meant to say is Enjoy your year!

Hey Jen,
I'm glad you're getting the time you need to sort things out for yourself. This is your year.

Scott said...

Hi Jen,

Looks like we are in a similar circumstance, except you have jumped out by choice. It must be exciting. My job search is going pretty good I think, but you can never tell until somebody hires you. I remember the old days, the last time I looked for a job, when recruiters didn't even call. Now the phone rings every half hour, and I'm running all over Mass meeting with people and trying not to make stupid mistakes. It's kind of fun. I've been cooped up for a year now and it feels good to see the area.

Anyway, thanks for the hug, and here's one back at you. I hope we both get our butts back online soon.

Awesome!

Glad to see you are happy!

Enjoy the month!

Foxy said...

we all need a little "me" time, and forget anyone else...harder to do with kids though i know. good luck with the job!

Natalie said...

Enjoy spending this priceless time with your kids before you worry too much about work. They're only young for a little while!

The Zombieslayer said...

Well, best of luck to you with that job search. As someone who has worked for four different companies last year, looking for work sucks big time.

Trevor Record said...

In some weird way, I was kind of hoping I would get laid off for a while. It would leave me so much free time!

But I have mortgage payments and to think of, and a world to take over.

Beth said...

When I stopped working, I had those same feelings. It was so strange. I worked 7 days a week, quit when I was pregnant, and never went back. That was 13 years ago. GASP!

Bill said...

Jen - I know the right thing will come along... from my experience, one of the most important things you can do is take this break, get some perspective, and then journey out from there.

I considered many things, from a major career change, to something entirely new... then, when I least expected it, the job I have now fell in my lap... it's turned out to be one of the best!!

HistoryDetective said...

Hey Minnie! I just wanted to stop by and say

*smooch*

I hope all is well.

Jason said...

Going on a single income is tough on the family (I speak from very recent experience), but hopefully you can enjoy the added time and come out of this happier professionally. Good luck!
