One Month In
So it's been a month since I started working. I thought I was busy before - wow. I had no idea.
My days are now a whirlwind of activity. I guess it's because I do all the same things I did before, plus I go to work in the mornings. Don't get me wrong - I love it. My goodness, do I love it. The place where I work is so terrific - I work with a great group of people. We have fun, but work hard too. I already got a raise (my second week there - woohoo!) and I just found out that we're going on retreat to Tahoe in June. I am consistently being pushed to be creative, to carve my own way... I'm also being praised for my hard work at every turn. It is honestly a dream job. I'm not going to lie - I get totally overwhelmed at times. I'm doing things that I've never done before. But I know that I can do it, and my bosses are always open to me asking questions. My kids are easily adjusting to the changes as well. Lee's life really hasn't changed - he just goes to the dayhome a bit earlier each day. Bee gets picked up from school by my mom, which he loves. Probably because she always has a cookie for him. :) So, no complaints. I don't live under the illusion that it's all wine and roses, but it is more than I hoped for. And I'm so, so grateful. 3 comments from 3 users
