Last night, when the kids came back from their mother’s house for the week, I was telling them about my new job. “I start tomorrow!” I declared excitedly. To which Audrey replied, “Does that mean you’re unemployed right now?” Hmm. I hadn’t thought about it that way, but realized that – technically, at least –Continue reading “Smaller And Better Things”
