Auto Draft

For the first time since becoming a mother, I am reverting back to something I haven’t done since I was single: getting back on the corporate ladder.  Not only am I getting back on the ladder, but I’m doing it at the same company as I did before.  And out of all the buildings at the company’s location, I’m back in the same building on the same floor I was on when I left the company 10 years ago.

Yesterday I had orientation and today was my first day at the new job.  And how did I spend my first day?  Well, the cool thing about working in entertainment, is that your work revolves around — entertainment.  So today I spent a good part of the day watching TV.  How many people have TV’s at their desks and are paid to watch it?  And to top it off, I also got to attend a screening at lunch time.  Not too bad for a first day!

As for what I’ve done in the past month, aside from work, it’s mostly revolved around the kids.  Chase had his field trip and Kindergarten graduation within 2 weeks of each other.  Being room parent, I had to plan both.  I had my last official duty as room parent this past Thursday when he graduated.  I’ve decided not to be a room parent next school year because it’s too hard for me to keep up with doing that and working.

We had a good few days for Operation Clean Up the House a couple of weeks ago, but that all got shot with Chase’s graduation and my going back to full-time work.  But Operation Clean Up the finances is now getting a huge boost.
