Life in the fast lane

It is amazing how time flies whether you are having fun or not. In the last couple weeks, I have become extremely busy at work and am now working full time. (I was working 3/4 time.) HURRAY! I am starting to get a groove here in Louisville. (It is so hard to let go of the past comforts.) My navigation skills are building daily. I now know where the main roads intersect and can take different routes to get to where I want to going. I bought a new car last week. I had been sort of but not really looking. I found an '08 Hyundai Sonata I liked and created (with Josh's help) a deal I liked. It was sad to give up my Tiberon but I needed a car that Sahara could be comfortable in.

Josh and I spent this week contemplating being respite providers. The first place we checked out paid $40 for level 5 kids. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the level of behaviors for children, level 5 is hospitalization level. For me, $40 doesn't cut it. I have no idea what other companies pay but I feel respite is a big commitment. It is a nice second job which is why we originally considered respite and we could check out other providers but I think this is something we should think about at a later date. So, I will be searching for a second job in the next couple of weeks.
