Well today July 3, 2013 is officially a year since I started with this company. Granted 6 months of that was as a temp and 6 as a permanent employee but it's a great thing all the same. It's crazy how life can change and how everything happens. When I started this job I had just got let go from my first and only temp assignment I had ever had. I was with the company for a year with like a week in between the two assignments. The first assignment I didn't get but I understand why. I had more experience meaning more pay. But I needed a job and they never asked what I would take for pay. And they lied to me in the end but oh well. I moved to a new department and started a new assignment which like every job I've ever done, I picked up quick and was doing great. But then my youngest daughter got sick (chicken pox of the mouth) and I had to pick her up because she refused to eat and had fever. I put it off all week and just couldn't wait any more. They called right after I left saying my assignment was over. Lucky for me I don't waste time and I had paperwork done for a new agency that night because the one I was with just didn't have a lot of work at the time. That same Friday, I got a call and did an interview. Following Monday I started a new assignment with my new job under the impression that it would only last a week but I was willing to stay because I needed a job. I have three kids to support. Well that job just kept going until I got hired at the 6 month mark. I started off the new year with a new last name (went back to my maiden name finally) and a new permanent job. I love what I do and give it my all and today has been a full year since then.
Before that, I always felt like I was just stuck in this hole. It's like no matter how hard I tried, no matter what I did or how great I was, I was just stuck in this very hard place barely able to support my family. But I never let that hold me back. I'm a goal setter, hard worker and quick learner. This job I have now, they actually appreciate my hard work. It's awesome with awesome people.
Since working this job and getting my life straightened I really don't have as much time to write. I wish for it. I miss it. I truly enjoy it but there is just so many more things that are more important that need to be done. Occasionally like now, I make myself take a moment to express myself. But because I don't have the time for it, I've become the worst penpal ever. Like seriously. I even lost a great one because of being unable to find the time to write. But sometimes that's what happens.
Aside from all this, I am for the most part happy. I try to always stay positive and move forward and teach my children not to give up on their dreams and don't be afraid to try or make mistakes, just learn from them and move forward.
On another note, I really miss my babies. It's been a whole month. It's not like I have to sit there and talk to them a long time when they call. It's just to hear their voice and let them know I'm still here and we still love them and we miss them. But I am starting to get the impression that they won't let my babies call me. It's like they have to be there for it to happen. They haven't even posted any pictures of them since they've been gone and normally they post a lot. I know it's just me being overprotective and worried because I'm their mom and they are my babies. But all the same. I love them and miss them as does their sister.
Until Next Time...
