Ten on Tuesday
1. Job hunting sucks....but I'm still trying to keep my chin up
2. We are moving!!! We found an amazing house in a better neighborhood, I cannot wait!
3. We have two weeks to pack and move--yep, two weeks, talk about chaotic
4. I have had two anxiety attack--free days in a row now, wahoo!!!!!
5. My kids can be complete smart-asses, but they are funny as hell
6. I am starting the "CizeItUp" program with my girlfriend and would be lying if I didn't say I am intimidated
7. My puppy Ayla is deaf, which is making it a pain in the ass to train her, but I love her more every day
8. I think my older dog Tucker is secretly mad at me for bringing the puppy home six months ago, I'm not sure if he'll ever forgive me.....
9. We have a TV in our bedroom and I am considering not having it in our new bedroom when we move....I haven't mentioned this yet, we'll see how it goes, lol
10. I am being much more honest on this blog than I was on my first...not that I ever lied on that blog, but it seems like it was all "everything is amazing and wonderful and there are no problems ever" all the time, when it was most definitely not all the time....

Me On Monday.....
I am looking for a new job,but better---a new path, a new direction. I have been looking for a new job for the past year, but I realized this morning that I have been stuck in a "holding pattern." I had been looking for a job that I needed, one that would pay the same as my previous job, one that would "utilize my management skills, human resource based." The same thing I have been doing for the past 10 years. I loved my job, but I am SO ready for a change!!
I am thinking that I would love to teach, or something along those lines, so I am spending my time searching for a job in that field. Who knows, it may lead me to my dream job, or may lead me back to working in a management position. All I do know is that I am looking with new eyes today and it will be good......

Our new life......this is the blog about how myself and my children are embarking on new realities and new normals....
I have realized that this is going to be a new chapter in my life. I feel that I have lived the first half of my life for other people, the "way I was supposed to". Not in a bad way, but in a way that I now realize was not making me happy (ya know, the "make sure everyone else around you is happy, then maybe you'll be happy if there's time" idea). I have decided recently that I want to begin to live my life for me, to do what makes me happy--maybe a new job, some new hobbies, and make some decisions for myself without always having to think how it will affect everyone in my life....oh, and just plain have some fun.
I have met someone (a year ago now) that makes me happier than I think I have ever been. He can make me feel that I am the only one in a crowded room (cliche, I know, but true). He respects me, loves me, supports me, and most importantly, lets me be who I truly am---a crazy, over-emotional, strong, chaotic, hyper woman that adores her children, her pets, and especially him. He loves my children as if they were his own, and has added more to our lives this past year than anyone I know. He may just be the kick in the arse I have needed to do this.....
My children are both teenagers now (God help me), and are needing me less and less every day (*sniff*sniff*). They are becoming the most amazing young adults, and I could not be prouder of them. With this new independence of theirs though, I am finding myself having more free time. Hopefully with this time I can work more on my photography skills, spend some time with family that I haven't seen a lot of, and whatever else might "strike my fancy", lol. I both like and don't like this phase so far, but am trying to make the most of it.
I am so very excited for this new chapter, so stay tuned because here goes nothin.....
