We managed to squeak by for a while, but eventually I went to work for the company we used to rep, which was a major material handling corp.

That was my first real job in my 30 year career. I had been let go a year earlier (I was a problem child) and then rehired the same day my daughter was born. The split happened about 6 months after. Funny thing that day my daughter was born. My mother was in the same hospital for surgery, and I had been going back and forth between her room and my daughters moms room while she was in labor. I also had a serious sinus infection. I grabbed some sinus meds from my Mom, told my daughters mom I'd be right back, went to my old employer, got the job, came back, and then out came my daughter. It really couldn't have been timed any better.

Life is awesome.
