First, how cute is this picture? I Googled "Throw Baby Bath Water Picture" and ta-dah! Ain't technology amazing?
Ok....so what is it that brings to mind "throw the baby out, etc"? Well, in a nut-shell. My job. I am bored, bored, bored and I want to quit. I keep telling myself, this will be good. Boring will be good. If I can just hang in there, I'll start Grad School in the fall. We'll be bringing home a child from Ethiopia. I'll want to be bored. Bored will be good. But right now, it sucks and I just want to quit which we would be throwing the baby out with the bath water (or quitting five minutes before the miracle or cutting off my nose to spite my face or whatever idiom works for you.)
I could go part time but 1. we really need the money and 2. we really need the money and 3. there goes my "free" grad school. Notice the free in quotes. I promise you it's not free. I am having to sit here every day at a job I don't like, taking 3 hours to do something that I am capable of doing in 10 minutes. There is a cost. Is it worth it? I don't know.
And, even if we do go to Chicago (see this post) for the husbands job, it won't be for a couple of months, so it won't help my problem today. Which is that I am bored and I want to quit.
(BTW, update on the Chicago thing. The husband hasn't left yet, they (the company who gave him the offer) are still processing paperwork. We've said that if he hasn't started by June 1, we might as well pull the plug because there would be no way he could get up there, check out the landscape, and decide if the move is a good one for the family before I would have to start school in August. Since today is May 8 and he has no definite plans to leave yet, I'd say chances are it's not going to happen.)
