New Plan

Well, we had a change of plans. Yesterday the Vista Pines higher-ups told Asa that he could not have an apartment. So, that means that I cannot stay home. But I am okay with it. I feel like this is what is supposed to happen. I really didn't want to quit my job, I feel very lucky to have it. Sure, it would have been nice to stay home, but it's not like I hate my job or dread going to work. I love my job. So, Asa is going to tell the Vista Pines people that he cannot work in Lufkin anymore without getting an apartment. Then, he will only be working part time and will be able to help with Marley while I work.

I am happy that I do not have to leave Marley in day care. That was really the main reason i wanted to be home with her. But, I know we can handle it. I will have class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and work every afternoon. Asa will work on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. So, the only time she will be with me at work is Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. And that's manageable.

I really am happy about this for some reason. I can't explain except that it feels right. I was nervous about staying home and feeling lonely and isolated, but I wanted to do it for Marley. Now, I can have both!
