Going for it.

Days like these, walks in the park, will now be treasured even more on the weekends.

Mama's going back to work.   It is time.  It may not be absolutely ideal, but nothing is, really. This is awfully close.  It all happened very quickly as I was interviewed and then hired on Friday, and I start on Monday. It's an opportunity that I believe I must take. My foot is officially in the door.   

There are many "best parts" about this situation, but I have to say that the very best part is the daycare that the kids will be attending. They. Are. Wonderful. They are over the moon excited about having both Cassidy and Dylan. They have accepted Dylan with open arms and have embraced him just as he is.

As it should be, however as I now know this isn't always the way.

But it is the way at this daycare.

I am thrilled to be taking this next step.  I am also...
stressed.
anxious.
excited.
terrified.
overwhelmed.
happy.
at peace.
joyful.

We're going for it!

I am grateful as I remember to take it all one day at a time. Is it going to be easy? No. Being a single mom with 2 young kids, taking a grad class and now working full time...it's not going to be a walk in the park, no, but I know that life isn't always meant to be that way.

We're jumping in.  We're going for it.
