The Unexpected Blessing

HUGE SHIFT!!!!  My new job did not work out... as in - TOTAL FLOP!  Its funny how I almost knew the very first day I started too.  It just wasn't right for me - they thought I was right for them... which made me feel good - but not a lot of people are cut out to be a recruiter.  So, I am turning another corner after leaving my previous job which was very people oriented and thinking I was shifting into a more professional arena, I am now taking a totally different direction and going HOME.  (I know, I'm using a lot of all caps today)

I am excited to say I am exploring a totally new, fun and very exciting option which is to be a more PRESENT mother, one who spends time teaching and pouring into my daughter.  I know what you might be thinking... how are ya gonna pay your bills girl?  Well... that is a good question.  I am starting an in-home daycare center.  I have been marketing and spreading the word and hope to kick things off before Christmas is here... sooner rather than later.  

And, by the way I don't want to knock the moms and dads who are not able to stay home or have limited time with their kids... I have been working full time the last 3 years of my daughters life and we have built a strong bond, created beautiful memories and I wouldn't change any of it but, I knew it was time for a shift for us at this time.  This is a transitional period before preschool, kindergarten and lots of fun new seasons ahead.  I am just so thankful to be a mother first of all... and to get to grow and learn with a 3 year old is a blast.  She is such a gift.  I will keep you posted!  I plan on taking pictures of our adventures together and will be blogging out the fun we experience together.
