Seriously.
What am I doing?
Jumping in to a new position before most post-partum mommas return to work.
That's what I am doing. And I am feeling only mildly judged for that.
Starting a new job after making the decision in April of last year not to return to my much loved preschool teaching position because I wanted to spend time with the baby and not have him away from me for the four hours a day/four days per week the job required.
That's what I am doing. And I totally miss the awesome people I worked with.
Finding a way to work 20+ hours a week from home and away from home while keeping connected to my baby and leaving him with his amazing and helpful uncle less than 7 of those hours.
That's what I am doing. And I could not, would not be able to juggle this without Jeff's help.
Trying to figure out how to work, mother an infant, mother my Big Boys, keep my house clean and fridge full.
That's what I am doing. And kicking rear-end, in my humble assessment, at everything except the housework.
Working at a Navy Chapel as director of education...which means I get to (mostly) hang out with kids and (hopefully) give them a positive church experience.
That's what I am doing. And I pray that I can help them see the joy and grace that is God's blessing to us.
Planning events and Christmas pageants and fun stuff.
That's what I am doing. And I get to have my bestie Karen right along with me for the adventure.
Being bossy...in a nice and graceful way.
That's what I am doing. And I like to be bossy.
I only wonder about my sanity and capability about half the time.
