Sun & Shower

I lost my job today. I wasn’t really surprised. I had heard on WGN News a few weeks ago that CPS planned to layoff over 500 people in my office. Being a project manager without a project assigned to me, I expected to be let go.

Although I was prepared to begin looking for another job, I was not prepared to leave CPS. I truly loved working there. Sure it was frustrating at times, and leading IMPACT led to some serious stress-related health problems, but I enjoyed it. The people there are great. I’m going to miss them, and I hope to keep in touch with as many of them as possible.

My resume is updated and ready to go. If you know of any project manager openings, please let me know!

Braeden had his first lemonade stand over the weekend at Grammy’s garage sale. All lemonade stand proceeds went to his college fund (the little blue Illini piggy bank on the table).

Braeden has become an expert at rolling from his back to his tummy. We put him down to sleep on his back and he immediately rolls over to his side and starts sucking his thumb. By morning, he’s on his knees in child’s pose with his head turned to the side and thumb in his mouth. It’s so cute!
