Hello there...just wanted to say hello. i'm lola2815 from chicago and in my early 30's. i'm a mom of a cute almost 10 year old boy ( where the heck does the time go!), a wife of 10 years, grad student (will finish is two weeks...YES!) and currently in between jobs. I had been working in philanthropy as well as marketing and communications for non-profts for many years and was laid off a couple of months ago. had some great interviews in the last week so things are looking up....joined this group just to talk about women's issues, marital issues and the craziness of parenting.....looking forward to chatting...

Congrats on school! Also on your family. Sorry to hear about the job situation. Join the club.... SIGH

Anyway welcome and hope to chat soon.
