Twilight Zone

Some days when I pause and take a look at my life and all of the major changes that have taken place over the past few months I feel like I'm in the twilight zone or something. Like I'm seeing someone else's life. Long story short~ Nick and I have parted ways. After 10 1/2 years of marriage we are staring into the face of divorce. I really don't want to go into full detail about the why's or how's because it's still too painful to talk about. Honestly, I think mostly it's just that we both are different people than we use to be. Things are coming to an end and I'm sad.

This makes me laugh!

This is Emma when she was about 9 months old, or so.

I'm a slacker

It's been too long since I last wrote! I'm totally slacking! I've been pretty busy lately. I finally got a job. Yep, I am a working woman now. I am the new Visual Supervisor for a brand new Kohl's store that is opening up right here in Clinton. (Or at least I will be once we get into the new building.) I am pretty excited about it. It sounds like a very busy job, which is great! I would much rather be busy than bored. I'm going to be the one running all over the store setting up different visual displays, and climbing ladders. (I'll be dressing mannequins, posting signs, making beds, etc.) So, I'll pretty much be all over the place all the time. I think it sounds like fun. So far the people I will be working with are awesome. All week we have been holding a job fair to hire all of our part-time employees. It's been crazy (there are some really weird people out there looking for jobs) but it's been fun getting to know my co-workers. I think we are all going to get along great.

Going from being a full-time stay at home mom to a full-time working mom is a little sad for me. I found an awesome babysitter for my kids that they love, so that has helped. I know that it's been harder on me than it has been on them. Emma cries when I come pick her up to bring her home at the end of the day because she wants to stay and play longer. Haha. Elliot seems to be perfectly comfortable there too. He didn't even cry when I left him the first day. I thought for sure he'd flip out but he surprised me. He's getting so big. Maybe that's why this is so hard for me. My kids are growing up too darn fast!

OK, well I'm going to go spend time with Nick now that the kids are all in bed. This week has been so crazy I feel like I haven't seen much of him lately.

Ciao!
