Pretty much everything is new these days. I’ve experienced
a whirlwind and had little time for much else.
How about we start with my new job?
My old company called and asked me to be hired as a
consultant and plan the tours for their convention since I’m the one who has
planned them the past two times. Most of my work is from home during naptimes,
a few times a month I have to go in for a meeting. The tours will be three days
in October and we’re expecting somewhere around 20,000 in those three days. It
will be crazy and the logistics are insane.
The Good Things
All that thinking has been good for me. I’ll admit it is
nice to think about something else once in a while besides sleep schedules,
baby food, developmental activities and poop (who knew that could be on my mind
so frequently?). I worked really hard for five years in my career, and
it’s nice to be able to use those skills again. And to be paid!
The Negative Ones
But, it’s hard. When I leave I feel guilty – Me and Nixon
are best friends, and I feel bad every time I’m gone. I’ve left him many times
before without a problem, but for some reason going to work makes me feel
selfish. My sister said it will make me a better mom to leave once in a while,
and I think she’s right. It’s still a little hard. I also hate inconveniencing
people with requests for babysitting, even though it’s not super often. All of
my work clothes are too big, so every time I have to go to the office I spend
30 minutes trying to find something to wear (minor problem, I know).
So far it’s been worth it. This particular project will
only be until October, then I’ll have some decisions to make.
