I am no longer unemployed

So the latest news is that I started working part time this week. Today was the first day, and I survived! For the past 4 years, my life revolved around Jake’s needs. But now in addition to taking care of Jake’s needs, I will have a chance to do something else to balance my life a little bit. However, I am grateful for the experience in the past 4 years, not only because Jake has made a great amount of progress, but also because I have gained great friendships with many people who’ve came into our lives to help Jake. They have shown my child kindness and compassion, and they have transformed me into a kinder human being as well.

Don’t worry about Jake, he is well taken care of by his respite care provider after school, and soon his grandma will be here to help take care of him on the days that I have to work.. Grandma will spoil him rotten with all kinds of yummy food and she is only ecstatic that I won’t be there to stop her!
