With every season turn turn turn

So spring has sprung and it feels more like August here in Iowa. I'm not gonna bitch too much we didn't get much of a summer last year and winter was HELL. There are quite a few changes in my life. #1 being I have left the insurance field to join the Criminal Justice field. Starting June 4th I will become a Corrections Officer. There was about a 20% cut in pay, but my mom always said "sometimes you have to take a step back to make two steps forward". This will be an adjustment, I will have to work nights for awhile, but luckily my husband is a stay at home dad and we'll be able to work through it. It should only be for 6 months. BD has been accepted full time into the Culinary Arts program at our local community college. He should have his degree in the next couple of years. Financially I would love for him to go back to work but he'll get some shitty job that he'll hate and we'll suffer for the rest of our lives. This way we only suffer financially for a couple years and then we should be doing good afterwards. It's just frustrating being the breadwinner. I think BD feels he has to show his "dominance" by controlling everything else around him since he doesn't contribute financially. This is really starting to get on my nerves and the people around him. We'll get through this bump in the road but until then I often catch myself daydreaming of when it was just me and Skywalker and I didn't have to answer to anyone. But, I was miserable then too. Oh well. I know we'll get through this. It's just stressful right now.
