Space...

So I'm recently unemployed and spending a lot of time thinking of what I want to do with my life and what direction I am heading. I've spent almost half of my life being a mother and a wife, recently I started taking pictures and that is really the extent of my experience in the working world. This is not the greatest thing when unemployment is at an all time high and you find yourself, a single mother of three kids with no job and no real relief in sight. I am trying not to let it overtake my life. I'm trying to enjoy the time I have with my kids and live in the moment. Don't get me wrong, I'm trying like mad to find a job as well, but I also want to live in this space I've created and really find who I am. One of the advantages all the free time has given me is to really be with my kids and hopefully I will get some fabulous pictures of them, too. For now, though, here are some from our recent trip to the zoo.
