This month has been crazy busy, but wonderful all at the same time. The highlights include: -Having a week all to myself while DD was visiting her grandparents. I ran without a jogging stroller, hung out alongside the river with my dog, blasted my music at night and danced around the house, slept in, had a great time with my friends, it was all so refreshing! -Doing some of my favorite fall activities, like hitting up Kings Island during their Halloween festivities with my brothers, and convincing a group of friends to go through a haunted house after an open bar wedding - priceless! -Having THREE interviews this week and already receiving job offers from TWO of them! -Just relearning who I am via paying attention to who God created me to be. I've realized I'm pretty cool
With all of the action, there hasn't been too much movement on the L front, I have the check to pay her retainer, and some initial forms to fill out. H has been gathering some info for all of that too. We still maintain a friendship - this week we grabbed dinner together, and as a nasty flu bug swept through our house and all three of us came down with it, we moaned on the couch like the Willy Wonka grandparents. All the while, I find myself not pining after him when he leaves and I am just content with where we're currently at and glad that we can share in Lillian's growth together.
So with the job offers, next week may be my last being a stay at home momma to DD. It's somewhat of a bittersweet realization, but I have complete faith that I am going to be okay. This definitely isn't the path that I would have chosen for myself, but I have learned a great deal over the past year, and have continued to experience a ton of joy along the way! So while sometimes I look to the big man upstairs and am like 'Huh?', I have a ton of peace, and, for that, I am thankful.
