no more ramen (unless we want to) / mama's gettin' a new pair of shoes

Husband and I have been all smiles since Monday. Why? Because husband has a job! A real, honest-to-goodness teaching job. Just when he was resigning himself to subbing all year (which, after 12 years of teaching, he likened to a kick in the balls), he got a call from a middle school in desperate need of a math teacher. This was the best news we had in a long, long time. A big "peace out" to all of the stress of the past year.

Now my smiley, happy-go-lucky, goofy guy is back. I missed him.
