Life is Tough...then we nap

Things are as insane as ever here. There are a handful of strange people in this world who think without a stressful life I will wither away...people YOU ARE WRONG. I would love to have a cushy stress free life; however I'm not that fortunate YET!!
Landon is growing so fast it's not even funny. Last Saturday he cut his two bottom teeth. He had one break through in the morning and one break though @ night. :) now you can see them some they are ADORABLE!!! He's slowly being introduced to solid foods now. He's totally my kid; he could careless about the veggies give him his fruit. When he eats he sits with his arms stretched behind him and his mouth wide open it's too freaking cute.
I'm slowly getting my life back; I was finally able to find a job; not teaching. I am working as a sales rep again and straight commission is extremely scary now. I found there are alot of problems with me getting insurance as an independent sales person and not being offered group benefits from my job. I am not sure how that is going to work honestly. I am worried I'm going to run into some preexisting limits somewhere over it because here in TX individual insurance is not like group insurance; they can refuse to cover anything pre-existing even if you have insurance the entire time.
I swear at times I think things will never get back to normal. 3 years ago I was teaching and loved every min. I moved thinking it was the right thing to do; lost my job moved back and now teachers are being laid off everywhere so I cannot find a job teaching. My boss keeps talking about how I can make so much more money. People do not understand you do not go into teaching for the money you do it for the service. I am a good sales rep but my heart is not in it as much as it is teaching. People do not get that. They think we take the job to have summers off; personally I am not worried about summers off; I teach because I love helping kids I love the "ah-ha" moment when they get what I have been drilling in to their heads for months. That's my new sales rush. Now I have to switch gears and get back into this mode; it's strange and I am not sure what to think. I have always been the one to tuck my tail and run. Now I can't and it's hard. I know I can make it but it's hard..
