scriptygoddessSo – now it's safe to discuss all this – as anyone who I know who might stumble on this blog already knows. This, I promise, will be the last "personal" related post, and once I pick up again, we'll go back to our regularly scheduled scripting. 😉
SO – here's what's going on in my (personal) life in a nutshell…
Some of you may or may not know that I have a daughter. She's turning 5 this summer. Well… she's getting a baby brother come the end of September. 😀 My work-life "balance" at the moment is completely tipped to the "work" side. A lot more than it was when my daughter was a baby. And I didn't want to have to work the kind of hours I do while trying to take care of an infant. (Yes, there's day care – which is what my daughter did – but it wasn't for as many hours as what I'd have to do now). We live in New England – aka. one of the most expensive places to live – housing is ridiculous – and there was no way we could live on one salary and not be forced to eat mac-n-cheese every night. So, we sold our house (in ONE day – I told you the real estate market is NUTS here!) and we're moving roughly two thousand miles away to the west/mid-west – where housing is a WHOLE lot cheaper. Plotting it all out – with two kids, and my not working – the tax difference basically makes our "take home pay" almost the same!
So, I'm quitting my job – and going to stay home with my daughter (and the baby, when he arrives). We're hitting the road in about three weeks, actually.
My plan is to continue to freelance as much as I can (without it turning to a "full time job") so that I can stay current with scripting and web design. You know the old saying – if you don't use it – you lose it. But the nice thing will be that, different from what I'm doing now – it will only be part time. Right now when I do freelance, that's after a full day's worth of work doing the VERY SAME TYPE OF STUFF. That's part of the reason why I haven't blogged that much. After spending too many hours doing this at work – the LAST thing I want to do is work on it some more at home.
So hopefully, that will mean more posting here – I have some ideas for WP plugins I'd like to try my hand at (that's if someone hasn't already gone and written them!!! There's a fever spreading of WP Plugin-writing like I've never seen. Just about every possible plugin you can imagine has been written. I'll have to be sure that the ones I want to write, haven't been done already.) As well – that may also mean – depending on how much availability I have – that I'd be available for freelance projects from here as well.
In any case, the first thing on my list, well, is to move. 
I also have a new design in the works for this site – so that I can finally *finally* upgrade WP here. Then we'll see where we're at.
