A gentle nudge....

Ok so maybe not so gentle, but I was reminded that I was totally blowing my lent resolution. It's true. I am a slacker. Instead of taking just a few moments to post, I would read....then think...then say nah I'm too tired I don't want to post.

So I will not beat myself up. I will just try again, and keep trying until it is just an easy habit to blog. I do love it, and it is cathartic; so why I don't do it...well I have no good answer.

This new 10 hour shift is going to be interesting. It is harder for me that I had expected. Spending that long away from Boston is very difficult for me. It is difficult for him also. To be fair this is only week 1 in, and in this past week I had to work 7 days straight before a day off. Of course that will take it's toll on any 2 year old. My bugga has taken it like a trooper but this past Monday he was extremely upset that I had the nerve to leave yet again for work. It broke my momma heart. But I will continue to do what I must.

I really do enjoy my team to be honest, and I think that the extra day off will be very nice. I am going to give it a little more time and see what comes.

I also discussed other career avenues with my family and I continue to pray that I will be open enough to hear the right direction. I just don't know what future I see in my current job, or if I want it to be a part of my future. It's always a little shinier and a little more fun right at the beginning of a bid. I don't want this current fresh start to gloss over the issues I've encountering for the past several months. I really hope to remain objective and weigh the pros and cons of each of my decisions.

I talked with a friends mom who works for the state about what options would be available as a mother and a student. She gave me some really great advice and was also going to speak with an inside source regarding a position I had seen. Hopefully that will lead towards something. I also decided to look into something I have tossed around for several years. Transcription. I can type like a mo-fo and do very well with codes and what not. I also am looking at Court Reporting as well. They have fantastic job pay scale and according to the Bureau of labor it is a job that is expanding and will continue to do so. From what information I could find schooling lasts anywhere from 22-33 months (odd numbers but hey I saw them a lot so I guess they are right ;)

So those are the latest ideas tossed into the pot.

And that is that for now....
