Dream Job

If one has to leave their children in the care of someone else, at least I can say it is not out of a "job necessity"; you know the job you have to do in order to provide for your family.
That is an aspect to be sure but at least I am fortunate enough to say that I believe I have my dream job.

I am officially the Activities Coordinator at The Quarry (senior retirement center). I will be facilitating activities and creating new relationships with old people! I know that there are bound to be administrative issues, curmudgeonly person from time to time, but the positives- listening to others stories, helping to improve end of life experiences is something that I know will be a blessing!

Not the ideal pay, not the ideal hours, but I have learned that life is less than ideal-is it the attitude one chooses to live into that makes the difference.

On other things of a more stressful note, James sees his lawyer on Monday. Now that will be interesting. In not so many words (for I have the texts) I may not be allowed in the meeting, depending on what charges he is facing...um, I understand if it is about the situation regarding our domestic abuse...but supposedly this is not about that and I will be damned if $1,500 is being spent and I'm not a part of that conversation!

Other that than Kathryn and Liam are at Disneyland with their dad...a little sad because I wanted to be there, but am so happy at their excitement and I cannot wait to hear about their adventures.

Life will be changing and that change will be fast. Just like Spring in the North West, one moment it is gray rain and the next day it is 66 and sunny!
