UnEmployeD AgaiN...

With Eric's hectic schedule getting increasingly more busy between work, more work, and school, with only one vehicle between the four of us, and with life being more than stressful when there was no quality family time to speak of, it was time to make a choice: either Eric was putting in his two week's notice or Amanda was. Seeing as how Eric signed a three year contract with the United State Army, well... Amanda is now unemployed again.
Back to just my full-time job! Despite the fact that I really enjoyed working at the library, we have faith we have made the right decision. We will be able to build our family time around Eric's schedule, accompany him to parades and public concerts, etc. We will have time to fulfill errands during the week when Daddy is at work rather than cramming everything into Saturdays, leaving less time for family play. This time with our girls is so precious, and already fleeting, and we made the decision upon joining up with the military to prioritize full-time motherhood as my only day job. My future career as children's librarian will wait a few more years.
We have plans to home school the girls with a preschool/Pre-K curriculum, attend story times and playdates on base, the 113th Army Band wives have just formed a meet-up group to organize outings to band events with our kiddies... Being a professional mommy is a busy job! And of course, I'll need plenty of time to watch TV and eat bon-bons...
