This week has been one of those truly eye-opening times for me. I’ve got to get back home. The time I’ve spent just being me again, not a manager at a restaurant, but a mom and wife and self…it’s been wonderful. The husband and I have gone on two hikes, watched movies, brainstormed about our arts, and just enjoyed each other without talk of work. The children and I have talked about their days in school, what’s new, etc., and it’s been my extreme pleasure to cook dinner for them every night.
Plus, I’ve heard new things about work. And I know my hours are about to be cut. Everyone’s will be. Part of me doesn’t care at all, while another part of me knows I need my job right now. However, I’ve not stopped looking for other opportunities. Most are day jobs, where I can be at home with my family at night. One…one I’m REALLY hoping to get called on for an interview…is an at-home position. (A legit business in town.) That’s what I truly want, to be able to work from home again.
I’m slowly working on all the ideas I’ve had sitting on the backburner. I’m rebuilding my Etsy store, have officially launched my Colorado Day Trippin’ site (an idea from months ago, where I bought the domain name and that’s where it ended), and have made a final decision about my book. I know things will be slow to re-grow, but I have to keep moving forward and away from what is making me miserable.
I want more time for this:

OK, this is a pretty old shot of the boy, but he barely lets me
take his photo anymore, and this has always been a fave of mine…
