Well Hot Damn.....

It's been four months and something has changed...I GOT A JOB!!!  And...I ended up exactly where I think I am meant to be.  I accepted a position working for the ARC of Monroe, the same company that gave me my first job opportunity after I graduated college.  I have always wanted to get back into this field, the timing was perfect and it just, worked.  If you know me, you know not much "just works" for me in this life, so this was a welcome surprise.  Someone during orientation this past week said, "Welcome Home!!" and that is exactly how I feel with this position, at home.

My kiddos are exstatic that I am heading back to work as well.  Not only because they will now have a little freedom after school before I get home, but because the tension in the house has almost disappeared.  I have ADHD, so it is not in my nature to sit and do nothing--it actually makes me cranky.  Since I left the U of R back in April, sitting at home is what I did most days.  Being home every day all day, with the anxiety attacks, along with not having a job, has made me a not-so-fun mama/girlfriend these past few months.  I am happy to say that I have not had an anxiety attack in over two months, and my stress is really no different than anyone elses I think, basic.  Our house is now a much happier place to be.

I feel like I haven't been this happy in years.  It seems like everything is going to be ok.  My kids are both healthy and happy, I am excited and looking forward to the challenge of this job, and my heart is very happy in my relationship.  This is the first Christmas that I can really say I have everything I ever wanted......

Merry Christmas!!
