Beginner

This is my first blog post...ever. I am both excited and apprehensive about beginning this new adventure of learning and fostering a blog. I have so enjoyed reading other blogs by those who have great skills in writing and photography. Once I learn the ropes of blogspot I want to post pics and write about moments that have touched my heart. My life is so rich and I have so much time with my family that it is almost too valuable not to document it in some way. I have always loved writing but I have not concentrated on it in such a long time.
Every Mon. through Thurs. I go to work with my father and stepmother. It was a huge adjustment from going to school every day and working at a restaurant every night. I am an office dweller and I have learned to deal with the sore back from sitting in a chair all day. I work here because I have learned more here about business and professionalism than I did in school and at odd jobs, and I am trying to hone in on what it is that my soul would be happy doing. I want to work for something real. And, right now it is real important for me to have this time with my family.
This is how it works:
I told you that I work with my father and stepmother.
My Mom keeps my daughter during the day.
I have Fridays off to be with my daughter more.
My husband makes his own schedule so I usually have Fridays with him as well.
I get to have a social life since my stay-at-home friends are always welcome to come hang out at the sign shop if they wish. (Oh, yeah, it's fun...sometimes.)
And, frankly, I think my parents are happy to have me around.
They trust me more than anyone else.

Honestly, I have been pondering my next step lately. I am inquiring about teaching positions in CMS. I want to teach English. I am very afraid of losing all of my perks and getting myself intoo deep. I often wonder if I ever should have worked here to begin with. I've heard it said more than once...
"We can't miss what we don't know. "
With that I am signing off. I am off work. It is 4:30, and time to go pick up "my heart," Bella.
