I hope everyone had a good and restful Memorial Day. Today is the week that I will finally give notice at my old company and my stomach is in knots. I know that the new company I am going to work at will give me lots of new challenges (and lots of new things to bitch about) and I'm looking forward to that. But, for whatever reason I cannot seem to get all excited about the new job - at least not like when I started past new jobs. Maybe it's because I've done this at least a zillion times before and I'm older (and tired).
Whatever the case, I am spending my last week of true freedom enjoying my boys and getting ready for the new job. I'm hoping that the weather will cooperate this week since I've scheduled 2 play dates for Nick at my sister's. My nephew is 2 months younger than Nick, but they are so different.
Nick is loud and H is more quiet. Nick is messy and H is more detailed and exacting - he has to put the rubber super balls (at least a million of them) in a particular place and if there is one out of place he knows exactly where it is. H started talking later while Nick started talking earlier. It's amazing the differences between the 2 of them. I find it difficult to understand how one can point out developmental delays unless there are STARK delays. That's probably why that isn't my job.
So this week it will be full of on line shopping (for shoes and clothes), play dates, and hopefully trips to the museums. It should be quite an interesting time and one that I hope distracts me from any apprehension I have about the new job.
Irene, I might have to go job hunting too. =( We might be moving north. I'm such a worry bug. It's hard to sleep at night because the thought of being unemployed makes me sick to my stomach. It's a fear I've had since I became an adult. I've always worked. I guess it's just my independent nature. THAT and I am a total control freak. I need help.
Leo is already in the works with the company he applied for. He's positive that he is going to get the job because 3 of his friends are the ones interviewing him. LOL. I need to crack the whip and update my resume!
Anyhow, good luck at your new job!
