Changes

After an amazing eight weeks of maternity leave I sadly kissed my little boy goodbye and drove the 45 minutes to work. I spent the day trying to get back into the swing of things and asking my mom (who was babysitting) for updates and pictures. The minute it was time to go home I was in the car and ready to go! I'm sure most mother's share this same struggle and sadness: leaving their little one home for the first time. I am very fortunate my mom came down to babysit the three days I headed back to work (as Keith was also working). It made going back easier knowing he was enjoying grandma time.

It also helped on the third day (which was a Friday) I got a call from an Eye Clinic here in town offering me a job as a receptionist (I had applied a few weeks prior and interviewed that Monday). I've been waiting for the right opportunity to appear for quite sometime. Who knew it would come from an eye clinic, three days after I headed back to work. I told the doctor who called YES! and headed into work, dreading telling my boss and co-workers. As I figured they understood. So today, April 11th is my last day at SATUCI. My last day in the drug world. My last day of my first "adult" job.

Wednesday the 16th of April I will begin on this new path. Instead of my 45 minute commute I will drive two minutes to the clinic. Over lunch I will head home to eat and see my family instead of eating in my office or going out. And after work I'll drive the two minutes home instead of my usual 45. Monday and Tuesday mornings I will be waking up whenever Gavin decides it's time to begin the day and will spend my days playing and cuddling with him (and perhaps maintaining the house:). Wednesday through Fridays I'll work 8am to 5pm and most Saturdays I'll work 8am until 12pm.

I am sad to leave my SATUCI life as I've met a lot of great people and am comfortable there, I am scared to start over with all new things to learn but I am so thankful for more time at home with my boys.
