Changes

Friday, April 29th, 2011

From Friday Mom – Jaime:
I’ve been a bit preoccupied lately…perhaps you noticed that with my recent posts.

Today is my last day working a job I never really thought I’d leave. I know the average trend is that you don’t stay at your first firm more than 3-5 years before moving on. But this was a place I thought I could call home and make a career at.

That changed three weeks ago. I’m not going to get into details. It will have to be sufficient to say that I made a very difficult decision and gave notice two weeks ago. Although it’s exciting, it’s also sad and a little scary to see this chapter in my life come to a close.

I haven’t had much patience since all this went down…with the little guy or anyone else. That’s part of what made this so hard. I really try to keep a division between work and home, but I haven’t been much good walking that tightrope this month.

At the end of all this, there will be a very hard earned vacation. A new job. A new house. Hugs and kisses from a little guy who loves me to pieces (okay, and from the big guy too).

And this weekend, there will be LOTS of dinosaurs. There’s a family event at a local museum where the kids get to do all kinds of cool stuff involving dinosaurs. Andrew’s psyched for it. I am too, actually. I love sharing this kind of stuff with him.

Have a great weekend everyone.
