Yesterday I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock going off.  Normally I wake up to the sound of “Mommy, get me out!”, so you know something was different about today.  I rolled out of bed, hit the shower, dressed, did my makeup and hair and then went to…. work. 

Yeah, Wednesday was my last day as a SAHM for a while.  An opportunity fell into my lap and I am really excited about it.  My title is Temporary Finance Administrator.  The temporary part is because I’m filling in for someone who is on personal leave.  Might be 6 months, might be 2 years, who knows.  It’s a 6 mile commute, which is awesome in a city as big as Houston where it’s completely common to have an hour commute;  part-time, so it will coordinate nicely with D’s preschool and my plan to get another degree or Master’s;  I already know and like everyone I work with.   And it will look good on my resume, which after 3 years out of the workforce needed a little help.   I couldn’t be happier. 

I was actually a little cautious with blogging about it.  We’ve had two years of just about everything possible going wrong in our lives and to have something good happen so quickly is a bit of a shock.   Maybe we are turning a corner now.  Gosh I hope so.
