Well, I found a job FINALLY! I have been volunteering at a nursing home here for the last 2 weeks. On my 2nd day there, the director of Nursing offered me a position there!! I really really like it there. It is REALLY clean (and you know a LOT of nursing homes aren't that clean), the people are all really nice, and I get to help out in the activities department when they need help too! (that's the dept I'm volunteering in right now) They want me to get my chauffeurs license too so I can help drive to apts as well! I am really excited about this!! It's only part time for now, but I really can't DO full time with school too. I mean I guess I CAN but I won't ever see my kids. Lets just hope this goes alright! It's on the weekends too, so I'm hoping I can find sitters when I need them!! I'm kinda hoping they need extra help right now, with Christmas right around the corner too. I have NOTHING bought for them or anyone yet and I'm kinda freaking out that I don't. *sigh* BUT at least I have a JOB now! I haven't worked in 3 years. I have been a SAHM (stay at home mom) for those 3 years now and It's been wonderful and I'll miss it, BUT I am also really excited to get back to work! Plus the residents there are awesome. I have gotten to know a few of them and I'm falling in love! I am hoping this is the start of GOOD things to come!
Thing with the soon to be ex are alright for now. We had a little spat last night, but we resolved it without it getting too bad. I'm just really stressed and taking it out on him. Plus, since I'll be working and needing Chad's help whenever I can get it, I have to meet the ...gulp blech....girlfriend ugh. And I mean "officially" meet her. Like sit down and have a conversation with her. I just don't know how I'm going to do this!! I wanted to wait a YEAR for the girls to meet her and now, I have to do it before the holidays UUGHHHH!! I'm going to be a wreck. I told Chad he wasn't allowed to be there because he instigates things a LOT. So that should help a little. The thing is, she seems like a really sweet person. And that just makes it THAT MUCH harder! I WANT to HATE her SO badly. But how can I if I actually LIKE her?? UGH! This is going to SUCK! I have already had a breakdown about it the other day. I'm reading a book called "One Call Away" and a lot of her story so far, mimics my life. And it makes me cry. A lot.
Oh well. I guess I'll just continue taking things one day at a time and see how it goes! I have orientation on Friday:)
