How quickly things change

Two days ago, I was plodding along in my daily routine of at-home-stuff when out of the blue I got THE phonecall..."are you still interested in working here?". I had applied for a job at this place back in August but because I didn't know French OR excel, my resume was put on file for further notice. So when THE call came, I was totally surprised! For the last two days, I have been working in the office of a (get this) scrapbook distributor! What a job! I'm working in customer sales and although I haven't worked in almost 10 years, it feels great! We're still juggling a few things on the homefront, but I think it's all going to work itself out. I am thrilled! But the best part (besides getting paid...ha!) is that I can buy ALL my scrap supplies at wholesale prices! This will mean a huge savings in my purchases, but I realize that I will have to be reasonable when it comes to looking at all the delicious scrapbooking goodies!

My parents' condo deal has gone through! I am now in the process of prepping their house for sale. Twenty years of stuff to sort through! Tomorrow, hubby and I are going over to give the place a final (and completely thorough) cleaning. We want the agent to be able to put a sign on the front lawn some time next week. Between doing this and starting work and ferrying the kids everywhere still, I'm so very tired at night...but it's a good tired and I have started to sleep through the night. I'm in a good place right now and I can say that I'm happy.

It's funny how quickly things change!

(ps) I've forgotten to mention that to date, I have lost 25 pounds on the Nutrisystem diet...yay me! I've still got quite a ways to go, but I'm already feeling so much healthier!!
