That is what I am feeling at this very moment. The jitters.
I put my resume on a few online job search sites on Friday night and by yesterday afternoon received a message from a headhunter. Now I am nervous. This is a big step for me. I have been quite comfortable in this current job for the last 8+ years. But, it is time. This is step one of my BIG life/career changes. The huge news is that I am no longer stuck to the idea that I need to work full-time. I will also be looking for something that's maybe 3-4 days a week with the option to work from at least 1 day a week. I want to be home more for the kids. I miss them during the day now. I feel that the daycare and school get to see my kids more than I do.
And my struggles with my insurance claim for the car accident over a year ago are almost over. I want to start off 2007 with a fresh slate, so I am taking action now to ensure that happens. I want to begin with a new job and no left over bad karma. 2006 has been a trying year. And while there have been good moments, the bad outweigh them. Lately, I have been wanting to cry at least once during the day. And that's not how I want to feel.
Now, for something not so deep. We had a good weekend visiting with my brother and his girlfriend. They are excited about becoming parents and are making plans for the baby equipment, moving to a bigger place and have already bought a family friendly vehicle. I'm very excited for them and for me, because I get another niece! It's just too bad that they don't live in the same city as I do. But, I hope that I will eventually have more time to make trips over to The Island.
In scrapbooking news....I have been scrapping a bit more this last few days. And I hope to get some more photos of my layouts posted here. I wish I had a large scanner to capture the 12x12 pages. And I'm not yet good at stitching images together. So, if you know how, could you teach me? And I have officially started with a new client's baby album. I wish I could post pics, but I need her permission first.
So, I think I'd better go and get some paid work done. Take care friends!
