Fast forward

It's been 6 weeks with the new job.

Days of getting up at 5:00 AM to get the girls to the sitter (a round trip of 60+ miles). Getting to work on time, getting home after the evening round trip and making dinner and then collapsing in bed. Urgh.....(I think I can, I think I can) Thankfully, the days of 5:00 AM wake up are only once a week now.

My wonderful sister (Momo) takes the girls to help offset the cost of paying a sitter. I rather like that they get to spend some time with her and I know they are a little spoiled for the day when they are there but isn't that what aunts do? They come home exhausted and full of Aunt Momo's good cooking. Not to mention a few new toys too.

The job is great. They tell me this is the slow time of the year and I fully believe them! I like what I'm doing and I really think this will lead to better things in the future. It's interesting work and there is so much to learn.

What I don't like is the reduction in pay. OUCH! Things were tight before but now they really are. Hopefully our money saving ways and reduction in a few bills will help. All I can say is come on Febuary!

Thanks for reading and I'll try not to go 6 weeks without posting!
