10 Weeks 5 Days Old

Well, Christopher had one night of sleeping 8 hours!!! Last Friday night (2/24), I put him to bed at 9:30 pm and he didn't wake up until 5:30 am! However, we've been back to him waking up at 3:30 and 4:30 am since then. Oh well. It'll come with time. At least he's really only waking me up once a night and only stays awake long enough to eat, which is about 5-10 minutes. I'm glad the days of him wanting to eat EVERY 3 hours and then staying awake for 1-2 hours at a time seem to be over with! At least I hope so!

As of yesterday (Monday, Feb. 27), I am officially unemployed. I think they're going to list it by saying that I was unable to work the required 40 hours. In order to get Unemployment, I have to have been released "through no fault of my own." Since I was unable to work the required 40 hours, I don't think I'll be eligible like I'd hoped. All this drama and I'm probably not going to get what I wanted in the end! Ugh!

Now that I'm unemployed, I have to find some kind of Work-At-Home job. I'm still thinking about taking in 1-2 kids. I might start off with just 1 at first and see how that goes. If I seem to handle it okay, I would probably take another one. I'm hoping to only do it part-time, though. For example, one mother works Monday-Friday 7:00 am - 1:00 pm. That way, I'd still have my afternoons available for whatever I need to do. Please keep me and Shad in your prayers! We need all the help both financially and job-wise that we can get! Thank you!
