Dillierama

It's been just over a week since I cast off the chains of my craptastic job and ran into the sunset screaming FREEDOM!!! 

It feels like we're living in some sort of dreamland where the floors are always vaccummed, dishes are always done, the boys and I go to playdates and activities in the mornings, I don't pass out on the couch by 6PM and I actually see John EVERY SINGLE DAY!  We're practically glowing we're so happy.  John and I keep looking at each other with big goofy grins and saying "this is the life!".

Of course, we haven't yet experienced the financial sting of the loss of my miniscule, yet essential, contribution to our bank account.  I got my last two paychecks from The Place That Shall Not Be Named as well as a payout for a freelance gig, so though we're not rolling in the dough, we're not hurting. Yet. Things will get interesting in about two weeks when we're subsisting on nothing but tap water and stale cheerios fished from between the couch cushions.

I'm toying with the idea of starting a new blog.  I want to keep Dillier.net as a place where I talk about my family, the boys, a place family and friends who live far away can stay up to date on the goings on around here.  But, I have a lot I want to write about on a personal level and it doesn't really fit here.  Though Dillier.net is technically MY blog (John has his own, The Dillier Man Blog), I'd really like to have it be more about my FAMILY instead of ME.  Also, I feel a responsibility to the name itself.  I'm sure all the other Dilliers in the world don't want their name associated with my opining and ranting and soul searching.  So...if I do start a new one, I'll link to it here.
