Well, okay cyber-world, I am officially slacking. I cannot believe its been almost a year since I last wrote anything here. I'd love to be able to say not much has changed in a year but, alas, this is not the case. Last year I was a stay at home mom, married with two two yr olds and a 5 year old. This year I am a separated WORKING mama of two three year olds and a 6 year old. And bam! Just like that things get interesting.
The kids are great, they are more and more independent, and I am slowly relaxing on the childproofing. The high chairs and booster seats are all retired now, and the cribs are now toddler beds. The girls also traded their pull-ups for a potty. I get to reflect on the fact that I no longer have any babies or toddlers in the house, which as most moms know is such a bittersweet moment.
I'm not even going to get into the downfall of my marriage, there have been a lot of thoughts swimming around in my head, but no real good way to express them yet, so I'll just let that simmer some more. When you get right into the dirty details its just a lot of 'he said' 'she said' back and forth mess, when the main point really is we just do NOT work as a married couple.
AND my crowning achievement as of April this year, I HAVE A JOB! I really cannot yell that loud enough to convey my excitement. I absolutely LOVE the stay at home mom role, I truly do, but circumstances (and pesky things like bills) led me to the decision to put myself out there in the workforce. I was rewarded with a most excellent job as a campground attendant. The bonuses are too many to count. Its right next door to me, its FUN, and its flexible hours to work around Jon's work schedule are the key selling points for me. Did I mention its fun?
Although, speaking of work, if I WERE to lodge any complaints right about now, they'd mainly be with one MS Mother Nature. WHAT THE HELL do you call this weather anyway? Hello, mid July calling, I'd like my sunshine and warmth back please? Thanks. Seriously though, we are freezing and drowning in this province, send sunshine, and arks.
