7 months Is a Little Too Long...

Time has flown and things have changed in the Bobbitt household... For starters, I am among the employed again and have been since August 2010.  I am working as a Registrar with Central Piedmont Community College and loving it!

Evan was promoted back in October.  Belk did a re-org, and while his title did not change, he can now call himself middle management! YAY!  I am sarcastic, yet, proud of him at the same time.  :)

Hayden is starting a new school in January.  He will attend Lake Norman Christian Montessori.  Evan and I really feel we are making the right decision both developmentally and monetarily.  Of course, with any new experience comes change... next week, we will find ourselves with a new routine, and one that involves us making lunch for the little guy... Lunches are available at the new school (extra of course); however, I am going to try to be fiscally responsible by making his lunch and hoping it will wear off on my lunch eating habits as well.  :)

That about sums it up...

This is a great article that just about sums it up... "Boys will be Boys"...

"I'm a big boy now"...?

Yep, we have officially done it - Hayden is a big boy now... he pees on the potty and poops on the potty!!!! AND most importantly... he wears BIG BOY superhero underwear!!!! Go Hayden!!!

FYI

FYI...

I am still looking for a job. YUCK! I am working on 7 months of unemployment and I do not know what is driving me crazier - not having a job or the cold yucky weather... I guess the two do not make a very good combination. Oh well!

Speaking of cold weather - we had snow last weekend - I will post pictures once I find the cord to transfer the pictures from the camera.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Sigh... Again

Now, I feel guilty and ungrateful for writing my previous post. Sigh... Again...

Conflicted...

Most of you know (well the two or three of you who read my blog :)) that I have been on what I am calling a payroll hiatus going on 5 months now. While this time has been a blessing, it has also been very frustrating and stressful. I do fear there is no end in site. Ugh... Please do not get me wrong, I do realize that this time has been wonderful because I have been able to spend time with my son - precious time that I will never get back. I have been able to be his teacher, his coach, and his mommy 24/7. I am thankful for that.

Wait...

here it comes...

but, you all know me, I am not a stay-at-home mommy. I just am not. Staying home has been one of the toughest jobs I have ever done, and will probably remain the #1 toughest job ever! I admire those mommy's who can stay at home.

I know that I am going to eventually get a job and that things (schedules, finances, etc...) will go back to "normal", and I know that once that happens I will miss being with my little guy all of the time.

I guess the many many rejections I have received lately and the terrible twos are just getting to me today... I know that I am making a difference in the world by being able to be with my child right now, and I know that I probably will not be making a difference (not a huge difference) by sitting in a cubicle... but sometimes I just feel useless... Sigh...
