I wasn't sure what to think when my husband called to tell me he got a new job. I guess I had really gotten used to the fact that his current job from home would mean that he was always here when I needed him. Now everything has changed.

I start to think about things like picking the kids up from school, or doing the shopping with the 4 of them in tow instead of having him here to watch most or all of them.

The money is great. Our income has just tripled. But in the long run will it be worth it? How do we cope with missing each other? Maybe we'll have to buy 2000 extra phone minutes per month so that we can text, and send images of ourselves, and talk whenever we get the whim.

My life has cer

tainly changed. I should be super happy about working less and being home more, but I'm torn. I'd rather be busy and have him miss me, then wait and be the one missing him.

Well. Wish us luck! We're off to a new life. I suppose that once it settles down and this becomes our way, then we will manage just fine. At least there is more time and money for more shopping!
