Again with the change...

Well.... sadly ..
I've turned into a bad blogger.
I have every intention to sit down and write...
but then life happens.
So, here's an update... of LIFE....

Well, for starters ... I have a new job.
Working for corporate headquarters for a Fortune 500 company.

I know. I can't believe it either.

I hadn't planned to get a job until after the kids went to school this fall.
But here it is.
I was called in for an interview and over the weekend before I went, I stewed.
And stewed.
And stewed.
I decided that I wouldn't even take the job.
But I'd go to the interview and say "Thanks anyway, but I won't be able to take the job."
I owed them that, at least.
So, I went to the interview in my regular clothes, no makeup and I doubt I even combed my hair after a day of laundry and 'mom' duties.

Yeah. Really.

I spoke with the managers over the job I was being interviewed for
....and instead of saying "No, Thanks"
.................... I found myself convincing them of how perfect I'd be for the job, despite my sad resume.
To my utter amazement, I was offered the job.
The entire ride home, I shook my head at the craziness of the entire thing.

When I got home that afternoon, my husband asked how it went.
I just stood there, aghast.
He asked if they'd been mad when I told them I didn't want to work there.
I looked at him, sheepishly.
And said...
"um. I think I have the job if I want it."
He raised his eyebrows.
I didn't want to take it, until I knew that my whole family was in agreement that we could do this together.
I certainly could not do it alone.
We had a family council and the kids were great....
In fact... they convinced me this was exactly the right thing for us.

Now, to say that everything has been just hunky dory........... would be a lie.

But we're learning.

And we'll learn more.

But that's life.

And that's what it's all about.
