I'm back! I took a much needed blogging break, but a shorter break from facebook, twitter, pinterest and instagram. Overall, it was good and I discovered a few things. I like blogging, and I like facebook, and I like social media; however, I need to limit who sees these things, and severely limit whose posts I see on facebook.
I know I am incredibly oversensitive, but that's who I am and so I am going to streamline (and already have a lot) what posts I see, what I don't and who I am allowing to see pictures/posts/etc.
Other than this piece of information that I know all five of you are so enthralled with, things have been great.
Finn and I had a great last few weeks of summer...we went to the zoo, to the beach, and just spent a lot of time doing so many things. The summer of Finn was a huge success!
Last week, I started my new job. I am watching a friend's two kids three days a week. Now, like any rational human being I was a bit nervous before starting. However, I am happy to report that I absolutely love doing this.
Randy told me that he hasn't seen me this happy in months, and I feel like all the pieces of life are just sliding into place. I feel like not only am I having a great time with these three kids, I am being a better mother to Finn because three days out of the week, I am dedicating 100% of my time to playing with these three kids. I'm not trying to get editing done, or run errands, or go shopping or do anything except play and be 100% present in their day. It's awesome. Seriously, I am really having a ton of fun.
The only thing that I am still a bit nervous about is that I haven't done both...I decided at the end of last year that I would do the addendum position at the high school. I don't know if this was a mistake or not. September 7 will be our first paper, and I am going into school on Monday to meet with some people too. I don't have any desire to do this right now, and while I want to help the program, I am wondering if it was a mistake for me.
The good news is, I have been really clear with administration that I don't know what/where I'll be next year, so after this year, if I don't like it, I don't have to do it. We will see.
Okay, well I know this is a boring blog post, but that's what has been happening.
I'll be back.
