I'm not a big "change" person. I collect change for our vacation jar, but I don't like change. I love the same patterns and daily life. I quit "working" for a paycheck when our daughter was 20 months old. I became a stay at home mom and worked harder than I have ever in my life. Next week I am going back to work. Just part time and doing something I really love, but it is weird. I'm used to coming and going and I have my routines. Now I need to switch things up a bit and for me it's an adjustment. I have found as I get older switching isn't as easy as it was. We become settled in our daily lives and find comfort there. We generally know what to expect. The funny thing is I make fun of my mom because of her "schedule". She does her laundry every Saturday morning at 9:00am. No matter what. I'll never be like that, I proclaim! Yet, what am I doing every Monday morning? Yup, laundry. So my goal for the next 50 years is to try to not be so settled in a routine. Mix it up a little. So next week I might just do my laundry on Friday!

Just to guard against being like your mom maybe you should just be willy nilly about the laundry. This week monday, next week, tuesday, then weds. and so on. You'll have to keep track of it in your iphone. What!!! You don't have an iphone? Now that you're working you need one. Tell your boss he needs to provide you with one. Tell him it's so he can always reach you in an emergency. I'm glad to hear that your going back to work. It's about time you started doing something for a change. Talk about change!
ReplyDeleteYes, I will have to agree first and foremost with Chateau de paix here...an iPhone is absolutely necessary.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to be such a blessing to everyone around you on your working days! And I know you'll have anything but a schedule in your schedule! ;-)
