I forgot how much I love Sundays at home. There's just something about Sunday that always made it so hard to get up and go to work. It was so nice to wake up this morning and enjoy a few lazy cups of coffee,work around the yard and cook a roast for a simple but delicious Sunday dinner All the changes in our lives due to the new job are still sinking in. I threw away my old, holy, black slacks and moved my jeans to the top of the pile. Oh jeans at work,I have missed you too! So many fun things in my wardrobe to wear now! I am not much for shopping or fashion so the no jeans rule really put a wrench in my work wardrobe,I stuck to black slacks....for THREE years.
Vern and I had a blast at the stationary store as we purchased supplies to keep the new business organized and Vern waited patiently as I picked out stickers to decorate it all. Accounting is much more fun with bling on the ledger right?! Together we created a record keeping system we both like but we have yet to have enough records to really put it to the test.
This man of mine,he is so amazingly supportive.It feels wonderful to go through life with someone by my side who loves me the way he does. I am continually amazed at the things we accomplish and create together. If you read this blog regularly you will know that we have worked through a lot in the last 4 years- parenting issues,3 surgeries,1 lay off and all the other ups and downs of life-Friends,families,money,weather,work..and yet I find that at the end of each trial,Vern and I always come through it stronger and more bonded. Right now,I am a little scared about the new job...what are my coworkers like? Will people follow me? Will I be busy enough? Yet Vern is right there,reassuring me that I will do great and helping me stay focused on what I can do to be successful.
Today,I finally hit my wall.All this excitement and emotion had drained me. I was grumpy and pissy at just about everyone who crossed my path. I have learned to be humble at these moments and accept that,chances are..it's probably me. I needed a nap. So at 4:15 in the afternoon,I dropped what I was doing and did something that I rarely do... I crawled into bed and pulled the covers over my head.( I think that Vern was secretly relieved ha ha!) I snuggled deep in the blankets and fantasized that we lived on an island out in the middle of the ocean until I fell asleep. It was a perfect little vacation as I awoke in a much better mood! Vern had finished the roast and steamed the broccoli as I napped and let me sleep as long as he could. Again,he is so good to me :)
One meltdown and lots of prep work finally finished,I think we are ready for this new adventure in our lives.
A collection of random events and thoughts in my life that I think are worth sharing
