WHEW! this holiday season has whizzed by like a flash!
I closed on and moved (mostly) into my new home just before the Thanksgiving trip. Finished the moving right after we returned, and am still unpacking, liquidating, realizing THIS IS MY HOUSE! WOO HOO. I was happy with the home, but too stressed with work, and a little gift from the universe came floating to me in the form of a new job. I'll be starting there Jan 7th and am looking forward to it with great immensity. The first week of the new year I have OFF, and it's great. Though I'm sad that the other women I've worked with are still in the hellish environment I have somehow crawled out of. Not to mention I will miss the kids and families I've worked with. I reconcile with myself that I did what I could, and will do better elsewhere.
