Baby Mine: And the Ax Falls

And the Ax Falls

Remember how worried I was yesterday regarding Alex's layoff, job search, possible moving? Yeah well, it's gotten worse. Looks like I'm getting laid off at the end of the school year. I have no words right now, just tears.

Anonymous said...: I AM SO SORRY! How could they do that??? You've been there forever. Are others getting laid off too? Does this have to do with your maternity leave? If you suspect it, that's illegal. Need any Ukrainian hit men? They're cheap!
