The days and nights of a VERY busy Mom: January 2012

what will the world bring to me???

So, my business is at the 5 year mark. I need to make some changes and trying hard to figure out just what they are. And....when I taught in the after school program...it really shined a light on something that I have been really missing. Teaching.

I was born a teacher. And I am good in front of people.

I also need to make some money. Hubby is taking some big cuts lately and I need to step it up since the business is slow while I am in transition.

I applied for a very cool job.....I will be shocked if I don't get it.

It will be nice to have someone else to follow and outline what I am to do...not that I won't do that myself....but, I kind of miss having a boss and always being in charge of the decision making process.

And also looking at other changes in my volunteer status.

I am never good with change...but this one I am really embracing!

feeling blessed

Today...I am feeling like a great Mom and wife. Why??? I don't know...maybe it's because I have seen the other side and I appreciate what I have so much. Maybe it's because my Hubby is out of town visiting his daughter and granddaughter in Seattle and I miss him. Or maybe it's because I worked all day supervising a visitation of a mother with her daughter and when I came home....I saw MY kids and saw that I am lucky and blessed to not have to be in that position myself.

I love my family.

I came from a pretty messed up family....altho, I have yet to see a perfect family. Most of them are dysfunctional in some way or another. I had just had enough of MY families dysfunction and was tired of pretending that it was all ok.

I made the right decision for me and my kids.

I am lucky. And I feel it today :)
