One last week as a SAHM

Tomorrow should be my last Monday as a SAHM. I'm excited and a little sad since I do enjoy the sweet moments with my kiddies. Sometimes D is so freaking cute I don't know how to contain myself =) Also, I'm sad to leave my little girl in the care of someone else. She has the sweetest smiles and the funniest expressions. I know that going back to work is the best for everyone involved but it is a little bittersweet.

I'm very excited and anxious to start this new career and I can't believe I'm getting this opportunity to basically start fresh. I was getting a little depressed that I was going to be in the same, dead end, boring job by the time I was 30 but the way it's looking now I should be semi-established in my new career and hopefully kicking ass and taking names.

My mom left yesterday but not before making Greek spinach pie and asparagus and swiss quiche.. I'm thinking my weigh in will not be at the 10% I was hoping for and yet I'm not too upset about it. How can I when I have delicious quiche and yummy spinach pie? Also, I probably won't get any again for at least 6 months to a year.

I should hear something this week about my actual start date. The HR guy said the 28th is probably going to be my start date if that was okay with me. Dude, I could start NOW! Oh and I found out there is a gym in the main building! Free gym people! Treadmill here I come!

Who said Mondays have to suck?

Had my interview yesterday and received my offer letter today! I am so freaking happy it's ridiculous!

Also, at my ww meeting I was down 2.6lbs =)

I think this might constitute as the BEST WEEK EVER and it's only Tuesday!

Thanks for crossing your fingers and toes and wishing me luck!

2011 is going to be truly awesome <3

Onto bigger and better things!

Tomorrow is the last day of my two week notice! Yay!

I was supposed to have an interview today for a new job but with the stupid snow/ice it was postponed for next week. I was pretty put out about it but at least I will be fresh and rested for the interview.

I have mixed feelings about leaving my job. I really do like some of the people I work with but it's a dead end job and I'm not making nearly enough to provide the lifestyle I want for myself or my family. The job I'm interviewing for is a better career decision and will definitely be enough to enjoy life (at least with regular annual raises/reviews something my current position lacked).
I think I'm also the type of person who enjoys starting new jobs. I like the chance to meet new people and get the feel for a new environment. I've been going over my answers for the interview questions and I think I've learned a little more about myself. Corny, I know! But seriously, I was trying to figure out what my weaknesses/strengths are and I've figured out that I really like to streamline whatever I do. I try a couple of different approaches and then evaluate which one is the quickest with the best results and continue that path. It's really just illustrates my OCDness but I figure that can be read as a strength.

Well, I got to hit the sack so I'm rested for tomorrow! Wish me luck on my interview ;p
