You mean the bad economy actually affects ME??

Yesterday I got laid off from my marketing job at a Boston-based social networking company. They laid off over 25% of the company - clearly things are not going well. While my feelings (and my pride too, I guess) are still hurt that I was let go, part of me sees this as a blessing in disguise. At 5 1/2 months pregnant, I'm not going to start looking for another full-time job (especially considering we had planned that I would not return to work after the twins are born - at least not right away). 

It definitely hasn't sunk in yet that I'm "done" working for now; I know that we're going to have to tighten our budget, but I can't help but think about all the things I'll be able to get done this summer. Not to mention the fact that I'll be able to take it easy as I get bigger, and more uncomfortable. Hopefully I have enough projects around the house that I can work on in anticipation of the babies' arrival that I can keep myself busy.
