I never thought I'd say this...

...but I love my job. I ventured on a limb today and spoke to my direct Manager who happens to be the VP and decision maker about our situation. I was direct and honest and basically explained to him that our adoption plan could move very fast at this point and Sean and I are not financially prepared for me to take a 16 week leave of absence unpaid. He told me not to worry about it and I can work from home. Obviously I can take my 4-5 weeks vacation time when the baby comes home with us and then I can work from home. They would still like me to go to my show in May but I don't have to stay the whole time. They are really supportive and flexible. And I told him I am taking tomorrow off so I can get my head together for the big game.
I'm having some minor chest pains...it must be anxiety. Mary called and gave directions with a couple other developments in which I have to discuss with Sean. More updates soon.

Des- What great news about your work and to know that your work is so supportive!

As for the chest pains, please take a breath and slow things down in your LITTLE head!
