Adjustments

I sit here today with lots on my mind. Me coming to work was a big adjustment for our whole family. The kids had to adjust to being taken care of by someone else. Jared had to adjust to me being worn out, and having a schedule that we couldn't just pick up and leave whenever we wanted. I had to adjust b/c I was used to being at home, being with my kids, being lazy as often as I wanted, being able to get groceries any day of the week that I wanted, being able to do laundry whenever, and cook a big meal any day of the week. Our house had to adjust b/c it got neglected SO much.

And now we all have adjust BACK to me being at home. I don't want to be lazy, and never accomplish anything in a day. I want to take my kids to the library, go for coffee, keep a clean house, scrapbook, take pics.. Do all the things I didn't have time to do while I was working.

I am trying to get into selling my Epicure and Tupperware more seriously, so as to bring in a little extra cash that way. And who knows maybe I will get some clients with my photography once I finish my course. I want to be able to keep a house up, and be able to take my kids to activities as they get older...without being totally worn out from working a 40 hr work week on top of that.

Not only do I want to enjoy these precious moments with my kids. I need to wait to go back to work for more than just that reason. I need to get my health issues under control. I am going to the neurologist on Monday, which will hopefully get the ball rolling on that.

Ya know what else I want to do? BAKE and BAKE and BAKE. I am a pretty good cook, I don't get intimidated by it as much..But when it comes to baking I really need my practice. I am excited to get a bread machine for Xmas (and YES I will get one...or Jared will be in some world of trouble), I want to enjoy homemade bread and buns year round.. mmmm mmmm.

So even though there will be an adjustment period for me being back at home, I am going to try to accomplish many things, and have my kids love being at home, before they enter the big world of school..Which Dom will NEXT year already!

This Weekend is the Rider game. The last regular season game for the 2008 season.
