I'm glad to see this update. I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are. The place for your mom sounds perfect. Unfortunately good places have waiting lists. *sigh* I hope you don't have to wait too long.

It sounds like a total job change might be in order. Hey you are not too old to blaze down a new trail. I hope something will open up for you that is just perfect. I think I mentioned to you how much my SIL hates her current job (actually it is just her boss that she hates). She told me the other day she would rather be cleaning toilets in a public bathroom. Of course there was a wee bit of exaggeration in that statement but she said that she would gladly go off and do something totally different even for much less money. I hope you both find something that is rewarding and where you will once again look forward to going into work. Hang in there SAS!
