Oh wow Dana, that SUCKS. I’m so very very sorry.
I’m sending you lots and lots of good thoughts and good vibes.
Maybe this is going to be a blessing in disguise. Maybe this will lead to amazing opportunities you couldn’t even imagine before! I’m crossing my fingers for you.

I read your post on Mommy Bloggers. It sounds like this all might be a blessing in disguise. Hey, at least your floors and toilet sparkle and you are getting in lots of quality mama time!

I work 32 hours a week as an editor for a small publishing company. They have been very supportive of me altering my schedule. Now I telecommute half the week and I have to say I love it. I get out just enough (in the mornings) and I am able to pick up my daughter from kindergarten every day and not put her in after school care. I realize flex schedules like that are not the norm, but if you can do something like that, I highly recommend it! It’s what keeps me working! (outside the home)

Good luck!

I’ll be home all day so if you want to call me or IM me just to chat, whether about the job thing or anything else (“Lost”? Big Brother?” lol), I’m here. You are smart and talented and I know you’ll find another job that you enjoy doing. Sending you big hugs and positive vibes across the Interwebs xoxo
