And ife goes on....

It has been a hectic 2 weeks since I started my new (old) job and the kids came home. Although everything feels so good right now I am having one of those sleepless nights. I mean, get a load of this:

1. My mom is as happy as she can be at her board and care. I do currently bring her 4 "meals" of stew or soup each week, she has a cat and she has Vida to worry over.
2. My daughter and son-in-law are home after 3 years in Italy (2 years since I have been able to do more than talk to them with Skype). We are having fun talking about the election and plans for Tuscon.
3. My spare (master) bed and bath are finished and (after the kids move) ready for visitors. My friend, Pat, has already used it 3 times!
4. I am working at API again. I wear comfy scrubs to work and only drive 2 miles to get there. I have my mornings to myself and fall into bed around midnight and go to sleep (tonight is a night off). I can, and will, be paid for overtime, I will collect 14 hours of time off each month! I can breathe comfortably when I open my paycheck. Oh, and the people I work with are, for the most part, top notch, respectable, and kind.

Wow!! What a change from the full-on stress packed summer of starting the state job, traveling to Sac once and month while my mother was ill and going from a hospital to a nursing home and onto the board and care while realizing I hated my state job and most of the folks who worked there!
Very glad to be where I is! Keep thinking about that Alannis Morrissette song.....isn't it ironic...
