A few days in...

I began my new job this week and just like any other new job, there is a lot to learn. I'm thankful for a very patient co-worker who is training me. I've had a very warm welcome from most every one there.

Thankfully, today is Saturday and I don't have to get up for anything work or school related. Someone should tell the girls that as they were up at 7:15. I won't complain, it's still later than 6.

Next week will be the true test. I'll have to get up extra early to drive my girls to Mimi and Papa's while hubs and I work. A 90 minute round trip BEFORE I go to work and then I get to repeat it at the end of the day. I'll also have to wake, dress, cajole and load two sleepy girls. If it's easier than nailing jello to a wall then I'll consider it a success. It's a small price to pay for better work. I just hope they don't get car sick on the way there.

I was thinking this morning that this is the first time in my life that I have worked normal business hours since I've had children. And my oldest is 13!  I've always had jobs that were odd hours.
I'm not complaining, it's rather nice to be off at 5. And everyone in my home seems a little happier. Is it the new job happiness, the cooler weather or my imagination? Any way, I won't complain. I'm happy to see everyone at home happy and content.

Time to enjoy my weekend.
