So, once again, it's been a while....
Jason said, "Um, so are you not writing our family blog anymore because you're going back to work?"
Truth is-- I'm thinking of a blog post as we speak for my professional blog... (required piece to the puzzle of working here)-- I'm stuck and over-analyzing what I'm writing *shock* so I decided to take a break and go back to my first love--- my PERSONAL blog :)
What's happened since the beginning of July??
TONS.
We went to Colorado. Post and pics to come.
I've been back at work since August 6.
Jack transferred to a new school.
Sarah started 5th grade, and she is definitely acting like it's her senior year in elementary school.
Caroline is in 1st grade. She has the same teacher Sarah and Jack had so it's kinda like revisiting an old friend when I get an email from Mrs. Salmon.
We have a babysitter in the afternoons. The kids call her their nanny because it sounds fancier.
And... I'm tired.
The most tired I've been since my babies were little.
But... I'm so happy!
The happiest I've been in a long time.
This is the best first week (with kids) of a new job I've ever had. I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time. I'm winging it, faking it til I make it, and learning as I go. But I feel so supported by the staff that I'm not scared to ask questions or mess up. It's incredibly freeing and empowering to work in an environment like this.
................
Huge milestones today--
I got my very first parent phone call. So exciting :)
I even ventured into the lounge today and ate with other people. Super proud of myself :)---
The past 3 days I've eaten at my desk. Partly because I've been busy. Partly because I didn't have anything to heat up so going to the lounge seemed unnecessary. And partly because I still feel new and was scared to eat with everyone else. Very "new girl in the cafeteria/ Do you mind if I sit here?" type feelings. But I pushed myself to be brave enough to commune with others. ;)
Yay me!!
