So many things changing

I started back to work about 3 weeks ago and for all my other fellow moms you know just how hard that first day & week back to work are. Well being back wasn't what I thought it would be. I wasn't welcomed back in the same manner as I left there. Being that I was already not happy going back and having to be so far away from my little boy every day, this manner that I was 'welcomed' back in made my decision much easier for me. I started searching all the job sites plus Craigslist (thanks to Kelly for that suggestion) and submitting my resume to every job that I thought would be better for me.

I wound up with 2 interviews for this past Wednesday both at offices about 15 minutes from home. The first was not for me, seemed a little shady, kind of like an office that would be there one day and then not the next. The next seemed like such a great deal from the get go and then after the interview it seemed even better. This is a part-time job that would have me working 5 days a week but only 4 hours a day. This would allow me to be closer to home, work and still be home with Jack in the mornings and nights.

I waited all the rest of the day and then I got the phone call...I got the job!! I am so happy! This is definitely a job that I can do, a place where I believe I will be happy and a schedule that will be best for me right now. Now the hard part, I have to leave my current job. I have been there for 9.5 years, through losing my dad, my wedding & now my baby. It is time for me to leave now though.

As for the other things that are changing, Jack is growing up before my very eyes! He is starting to sit a little. He can't get himself in this position yet but he is starting to be able to hold himself in a sitting position more and more every day. He can only do it for maybe a minute or 2 so far but I think he'll be sitting all on his own in no time.

For food he had 2 full weeks of rice cereal and really seemed to like it and do well on it. We started Oatmeal this week and he likes this one even more than the rice cereal. He opens his mouth wider and wider and 'yells' at me if I don't feed him fast enough! Late next week I think we are going to start a vegetable and I can't wait for that. I think he is just going to like food more and more as he tries new things.

So it looks like this is a much needed change for me and a I am looking forward to it =)
