DH starts his dream position at his company on Monday! He'll be training for two weeks, and then have to go back to third shift (only down side), but I'll suck up the third shift frustration because it's literally the position he's wanted since he started 5 years ago. And I know third shift won't last forever.
Best of all new job comes with a raise that will go into effect when he switches shifts, plus the overnight differential. This raise will literally be life-altering here. We could potentially start getting caught back up on life.
And I can quit editing.
Or keep doing it for pure spending money.
I just keep feeling like this huge weight is about to be lifted off us. It's still going to take several months to get caught up on everything, but there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel.

That is awesome!!
Not to be the downer here, but how is your DH doing with the drinking? You had mentioned just recently that he had relapsed? My fear for you would be that he would kep it up and end up losing this awesome job. :/
I also agree that you should keep up the editing for the spending money and to build up some savings. Start a rainy day account that you put 50% of your editing money in every month and don't touch it. Take the other 50% and either use it for fun spending, for a babysitter, or for saving in another account for a downpayment on a bigger house! What great news!!
