Well, it's official. Sharon just called in and announced her resignation. She is officially a stay-at-home mom.
The thing that's really nuts about it is how she had pretty much one of the most idea set-ups in the world: working part-time only in a job she loved (taking kids on nature hikes-are you kidding me?). But staying home with Rose and keeping her out of the day care mill, as well as the idea of helping to keep our collective lives a little less crazy, just won out in the end. And, of course (to add nuts to nuts), I continue on in Barad-Dur.
It would be an understatement to say that we're dialing back our budget a few notches. For anyone who comes to visit and wonders why I balk at going out for a "night on the town," consider that we weren't quite keeping our heads above water as it was, and we just lost a net income of around $15k a year.

I will bring a sack lunch Sat. :)
We will still treat our guests right. You will drink fine craft beer out of a sculpted pilsener glass. You will just do it in my unfinished basement.
If I break it do I have to buy it?
Geronimo - and best of luck.
TClog'd be happy drinking draft beer out of glass in your bathroom. Even happier if you were both sitting on the toilet.
That's good, cause I'm using the tank on my new lo-flo to keep the bottles cold.
I hope that the lo-flow can keep up with Ole T-clog. If it's anything like Methuens toilet we might have a problem.
Good choice on the single-family income.
Sounds like a good plan! Good beer cannot be stopped. Really, if it came down to it - do you think you would rather spend zero dollars and drink zero beer or some dollars to drink bad cheap beer?
Whoa! I'm not that much of a purist. Some dollars, cheap beer.
But let's hope it doesn't come to that.
