Well, I'm officially back to work and so far so good. The office job is a thing of the past. I have to put it behind me and move on and be happy with my decision. I have the option of going back if they should ever be hiring in the future, I know they'd consider me but for now, my house will soon be crawling with kids! One of my old families is back this week until the end of the month. It was as if they'd never left my house. Or that they'd taken a year long vacation! Another one of my old families starts back on Monday part time and I have had a few drop ins this week. Just enough to keep me busy and happy. The weather is finally co-operating and hopefully the soil will dry up and the water in the basement issues we are having will eventually cease to exist. We are in the midst of ripping carpets out of the basement. We may use this opportunity to reconfigure our basement, somehow get a second bedroom down there. Might take a miracle and we will lose precious storage space but I am using this time to declutter, parting with things I never thought possible! But not my books, never my books!
This week, my pain exists almost everywhere. But none of it is what I'd consider severe, just annoying. My fingers are tending to seize up and almost dislocate and my right knee feels like someone took a hammer to it but I am dealing with the pain very well. Haven't taken anything but a few alieve this week.
Dare I say I am 'happy' right now? I think I may very well be. I have a nice roster of girls lined up to watch this fall, in all my years of daycare I have had an overwhelming amount of boys and never in the ten years I've watched kids in my home have I had ALL girls! I am happy with my line up. I think it will be a great group of kids and parents. The fact that I am getting calls and my old clientelle is popping back in or returning to me permanently means a lot. I'm doing what I'm meant to be doing. Kids make me smile and if I can smile through the painful times, I must be doing something right!
