Day 49

No work yet- still waiting on the background check. I figured I’d get into the habit of writing after dinner, as this will be the norm once I do start working. I most likely wont have access to the blogs from work, and as I sit here thinking about that, it makes me a little sad. Y’all have been with me daily for 49 days. You are my buddies. I can always rely on your humor and support, suggestions and idea’s, even stories. So although this isnt goodbye,  I’m feeling a little separation anxiety. Am I making any sense? Well, I promise to visit every night. I will tell you my working tales of whoa, and how I’m trying to juggle and balance all that I have going on. I dont think I had had a full appreciation of my time home til now, knowing it’s all about to change-The good things about going back to work- well, for sure the money. It will be nice to dress up and get out and be around other people.  I will have great benefits, and lots of time off. I will be contributing to my household in a different way. I will surrender some of my stay at home duties to the DH, and that will be refreshing.  Change is good. Well onto day 49.I ate well today. I still feel like I ate too much yesterday- kind of lethargic.  Not that I ate too much, but in the wrong combinations.  I will get thru it. Lots of water to flush the fat out. I played outside with my son after school today. It was beautiful out, and time with him is always fun. We Hula’d and he got a remote control Monster Jeep( Birthday) that he was having a blast with. I dont believe I will be working tomorrow, as I havent received a call and it’s 7pm. So, maybe I can get some extra activity in tomorrow. My son wants to play football. I explained I would pass with him, but no tackle for me. I think I may enroll him in a football league- I struggle with the contact sports- Is he at an age where this is a good decision? I’d like him to do Tai Chi- lol. He has volunteered to be my helper when I finally do teach a yoga class. I thought that was sweet. Alright gang- as Rachael Ray says” I’ll see ya when I see ya”.

    Yes, diddo to what Tony said!!
    You’ll be on here. We’ll just have to wonder all day how you’re doing and if you’re enjoying your new job! (and whether they’re trying to shove meatball sandwiches down your throat or not)
    We’ll see ya when we see ya - - which will be often, I have no doubt!
    Keep up that good work, and enjoy the weather and time with your boy!! :)

    Of course I meant to spell it “ditto.”

    Change is unnerving. We’re hear whether it’s your morning or your evening… that’s the nature of blogs right? I think getting dressed smartly and out and being productive and making a paycheck will be just the right thing for you at this time. I know you won’t lose sight of your vision, I think it’s going to be the current which pushes you along.

    I hope your birthday was wonderful! We’re now the same age, aren’t we? ;)

    I think football and 9yr old boys go together. They simply must have an outlet for all of that surging MALENESS, that football is likely the least curruptive influence a boy can get involved in. I say go for it !
    Both football AND Tai Chi would be a perfect well-rounded ballaste for him through puberty. (though don’t expect him to think the same when he’s 13 ;)

    Did you know “Tai Chi” is “Chai Tea” inside out? ;)

  6. Robyn on February 26th, 2008

    I love Chai Tea.

    Football’s a great idea, and if you can get him to go for the Tai Chi, how cool is that!
    When you blog at the end of the day, it feels different…it’s like you’re reviewing the day - what went well, what didn’t. That can be a really good thing too. When I blog in the morning, I usually look ahead at the day, and often my goals and plans don’t come out quite as planned. Either way, you’re good!
    And if I haven’t said so already - congratulations on your new job.!
