Here is another blog...yes THREE months later!!

So since my last blog I have celebrated a wonderful Christmas, celebrated my daughter's 3rd birthday and my husband's birthday, swam my first 1000m in the pool and lost my wonderful part time job.

So what else is new you may ask??? Life is actually quite good. We had a wonderful Christmas and Allison's 3rd birthday was a hit for her at The Jumpin Monkey. We had a "huge" snow for Greenville, NC. Of course Dylan's response to this was "Told you it WOULD snow here Mom..you were wrong!!". This was due to the fact that I told them unlike in Blacksburg, VA we would never get enough snow to use our snow suits here. The kids did not get on the sled b/c it is flat as a pancake here but they did make snowballs, etc. Dylan did ask for Grandma Judy's snow cream too!
My husband and I laughed as people "freaked out" here over 3-4" of snow...but hey, at least I got two days off of work.

Ahh..work..another subject to discuss. I found out of Jan 31 that my "perfect" part time job was gone. I had the absolute joy of working part time for six years but now I am unemployed. I am partly to blame for opting to tell them I would only work part time for them and not consider any full time jobs that I could be offered but it just made sense for our family and I did get a nice severance package. Now I am trying to decide what to do!! Do I go back to school and get my RN degree to offer us more job security? Do I pursue my passion of fitness and become a personal trainer? Do I get back into marketing/pr? Do I stay home..answer is probably no to this but never say never never! Ideally I would like to work part time from home or as a pers. trainer some each week. I have enjoyed more time with the kids and being able to clean up the house cook,etc. Most of all I have enjoyed my endless time to work out! :-)

Which the working out is progressing quite well with no job and the kids in daycare! I swam my first 1000m straight thru just last week. I have improved so much since my last blog. I enjoy swimming and it has been such a great workout for me! It is truly a sport that I can see results the more I practice!

So this may be it for another three months but who knows..I do have some time now!
