A New Chapter

So the time has come.
I have been putting it off since Feb. 2006.
There is no other choice.
Your probably wondering what I'm talking about.....I got a JOB! Ya, so I'm pretty excited about the whole deal. I actually enjoy working and having a million things going on at once is something I thrive on. This new adventure is quite different in every aspect. I have worked in the auto glass industry for over 10 years and suddenly I find myself going in a whole new direction. I am reluctant to find out exactly how well I like it. I am going from being #1 in sales to.....nursing. There I said it. Nursing. Hmmm.



I am nervous only in the fact that I'm not quite sure what to expect. I will be working in Cottage Care and Apartments. Which is a good starting point right now. Most of the residents are fully capable of taking care of themselves but need a little assistance from time to time. So accepting this job is a good way to get me back in the swing of things.



I am also finding out that now that I will be working I had to find a daycare. The "D" word. Not something I'm a huge fan of. I still see our son as being little and I want to know he is well watched and all those worry-some bothers that parents feel. It will cost be approx. $20 a day for my children to be there for 3 hrs. Yikes. Making $8.00 an hr. doesn't leave much left. So for now we shall see. Tuesday is the beginning of something totally new. Wish me luck!
