hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work I go!
Yup, I am a working woman again! Nicholas is and always will be my priority and full-time job, but a great part-time position recently fell into my lap. I have been involved with a local volunteer organization since we moved to NC and have really enjoyed it. But a couple of weeks ago, the program coordinator called me saying they had an opening and was wondering if I’d be interested given my degree and experience. Long story short- I sent my resume, got an interview and was offered the job! It is only 12 hours a week and completely flexible- perfect! I’ll be working with older adults with dementia and their families as well as providing dementia education, both aspects of my previous job that I miss so much. It will help me keep my toes in the working world and wet my social work whistle all while learning the local resources as I only know the system in VA. Honestly I am very nervous as it has been awhile but also very excited! Fortunately, I start in a month so I have some time to get used to the idea. 
And I know you are wondering, but what about your adorable son? Where will he be while you are out earning some moola? Well, our fabulous neighbor has graciously agreed to watch him. She has a little girl and also watches a couple other children from the neighborhood so Nicholas will be able to make some new friends. Plus Matthew works from home most days so he will just be a few doors down if need be. But I am sure everything will work out just fine!

Congrats on the job! That sounds perfect…out in the working world, but for only 12 hours. I think you’ll love it! AND so great that your neighbor is helping out! I’m excited for my new schedule too! I can’t wait to be home, but Barrett will still stay with someone one day a week, so Mommy can get a little work done
Good luck!
