I'm back

Please allow me to explain, and not ask for forgiveness, for my long absence from my blog here. As you already know I’m a working mama. That means life is already pretty hectic and complicated. Lately we have decided to throw some more unpredictability and complications into our big ol’pot of stirrings we call our life. We moved!


We moved from our two bedroom two bathroom apartment into a three bedroom, one bathroom house. Technically it’s a 4 bedroom, two bathroom house but we are renting out the basement to my hubby’s cousin and her pooch. (It’s nice to have another woman around!) Yet, it’s still hard to find a spot for everything. I think part of that is because Mr. Hubby won’t hang anything on the walls because it’s stucco and in great condition and hard to patch…I wouldn’t know, all I know is that there is no where to put all of my pictures, my shelves, his speakers for the surround sound, and I’m not sure what else. The other thing that goes with that is that Logan is pulling himself up onto EVERYTHING now and The Hub’s won’t mount anything to the wall. Why is that so important? Well because Logan has already started pulling his toy bins down on him, has moved his bed, and I’m afraid of what will happen with the front hall free standing shelf once he discovers he can use that too.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy to be in the house versus our apartment. But I almost think sometimes that the apartment would have been safer for Logan then the house is.

So moving, plus running after a very mobile Logan who won’t let me get anything done…this has lead to me being a VERY busy working Mama.

How’s work you ask? Well it’s much better then it has been for the past two years. I have a new manager that actually gives me work to do and that isn’t afraid of conflict. Why is that important? Well, my co-worker and I haven’t really ever gotten along all that well. I believe that we have both tried at different times with one another but it just didn’t ‘work’. Our last manager knew about this but wouldn’t do anything…sometimes I think by the way he approached (and sometimes didn’t approach things) made it worse. New manager is much better at this and came in saying that he wanted us to be more – not friends, but friendly basically. I think that it has been going well the last few months. I’m not sure how she feels, but that’s how I feel.

Because of this, and maybe even my attitude of leaving work AT WORK, I’m not as stressed anymore. I’m not hating my job. I’m not even actively looking for another job anymore. In fact, I hope to still be here, if I move up then so be it, in the next several years. The medical is great, I have some friends here, and I have a plan. I hope to be able to drop down to less then full time in about 5 years. That way I can be home in the early afternoon for after school stuff.

I’ll get some new pictures up shortly…I just haven’t had time to get them onto my computer and Flash drive in a while.
