Here's a twist to maternity leave- my company dumped our group. Friday morning, the three managers over our group met with my two colleagues and announced that "Things just aren't working out." They gave us a 90-day window to look for new employment and to wrap things up with our existing business. We can even look internally for a position with Penson if we want.

Now I get to decide what I want to do. :)

When I first got the news, I felt relieved. I'd been secretly hoping to stay home with Josh until he's at least six months old. Maybe longer if I add the holidays and job searching to the timing.
