I don't know! That is the best answer I have. It seems like forever since my last blog post and that is because I have been busy! First and foremost, I landed a job and am preparing to go back to work in a few weeks! Ohhhh, so now you understand why I have not blogged. This all happened so fast and I did everything in my power to try to get out of it but.....not so much.
As my dear friend Denise suggested in a recent post, I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. I'm not sure I'll ever grow up, but for the past three years as a stay at home mom, I have been trying to figure out what next. I'm not sure I'll ever be 100% sure about any career choice, so I did decide to stick with what I know and look to see what was out there. I had a pain in the a-- recruiter working for me (barely) and he did get my resume into Coke. Well, to make a long story short, I had a great opportunity to work for some really great people presented to me last week and I decided to take it. I will eventually be able to work from home a few days a week (maybe more as the job can be done from home), will have TONS of flexibility, all while working for a great company with a great name and, lets not forget FREE soda! Well, not to bring home, but to drink while in the office. The corporate HQ even has a 'soda finder' where you can search for your favorite Coke products throughout the buidling (like the old faves such as TAB-Aunt Barb's favorite) and you can go to that machine and get yourself a Diet Coke for free! The only thing better would be working in a brewery, but I doubt you'd be able to drink on the job there. There are other perks, but most of all the flexibility was key. In addition, since I've never cared much for Accounting (which I will be doing here), I will have an opportunity to go back to school to earn an advanced degree on their dime, if I so choose. So, like I said, it was a very good 'deal' I just couldn't pass up.
Since I decided to take advantage of this opportunity, I've been busy enjoying the kids, my friends, and FREE time. Will I ever have that again?!! Also, I've been searching for daycare for J. He'll have a tough time at first, but a place we looked at today looks promising with lots of fun toys (and he actually wanted to get down and play instead of the tight grip in previous center visits where he said, "Mommy not going to leave me here"-talk about guilt trip). I will really miss my little man-he is so funny these days, but I know he will have so much to do and be stimulated all day at daycare, so I don't worry about him too much. I am thankful that he isn't a tiny fragile little baby and instead, a talkative almost three year old who will surely give me a full day's report. T, on the other hand, is BEGGING to go to after school care. I think a few weeks in she'll miss her after school peanut butter sandwiches (school lunches are CRAPPY and mandatory) and the TV downtime.
So, that is the big news here. Oh, that and J is actually doing a little potty business these days. So proud! For a headstrong kid, I thought it would be a lot harder than, "Do you want to sit on the potty?". He gets a big kick out of it, actually. I am going with the no pressure route. Whatever I can get out of him is fine for now.

Congratulations! That is great news! You will do great!
Ditto Heather's comment - although I definitely feel you about not knowing if its right. I think, though, as a mother, that no matter what decision you make, you'll always wonder if it is right. But, at the end of the day, as long as you have the support of your husband and snuggles from your kids, you'll feel justified that you're doing the right things.
