April musings

Well, it was a great spring break with 30 + miles and 8000 feet of gain snowshoeing near Easton the first 3 days and concluding with 3 days at the ocean.

Inbetween was a big hiccup with my son's awful scene.  He seems fine this week - maybe it's the new meds?  I called a couple of Al-Anon people for support as I was pretty upset by the tantrum.

Just before spring break we found out that there would be more cuts at school.  Today I was told I would lose Fridays for sure; beyond that she can't be sure yet.  I like the idea of a 4-day week but can ill afford it so I am putting in sub applications (takes forever and most places not taking them now), tutoring apps - maybe learn to set up a website, and or temp jobs.  I love the idea of getting stuff done Fridays and going on extra backpacking, but the loss of income will hurt us a lot.  I have to let go and let God.  Glen is applying for another great job; maybe this time he will finally get it.  It's hard to even hope and think positively when all the signs in the economy suck.  We can't sell Orcas, etc.  I'm trying to keep my chin up and breathe.  I am not in control of this, and worry just makes me sick.
