The Eve of my New Job

So I got a part-time job.  I am happy to have the opportunity to get out of the house for a little while and to have some adult conversations. Just think, a conversation that doesn't have the words: cheerios, potty, poopy, snot, pee-pee, Calliou, Barney or Sesame Street in it. :-) Or answering the same questions at least fifteen times in five minutes.  I am truly sad to leave my babies everyday, but I know that they will be in good hands and be safe and happy.  It did come with so many things to get ready, that I am feeling actually prepared to start.

We found a nanny to watch the kids two days a week.  It is more money that we would like to spend, but it is a better situation for all involved.  Anna is so excited for her to come in the morning, that she is still trying to fall asleep. 

I hope the excitement wears off soon because I am not sure how many more late nights I can handle. 

It's not my ideal job, but I am thankful to have a job and make some money for my family.  However, I am still looking for my dream job.  I know I will find it, I just have to be patient. 

I am always so afraid that I will oversleep that I am wide awake and have trouble falling asleep.  I know tonight will be a long night, but usually the first night is the worst and then I am over my fear.  I will let you know that I have never overslept for an important moment in my life.  I am confident I will make it on time, but that never makes it easier to fall asleep.

I hope this is the dawn of a better life and I am hoping that we do amazing things with this change.
