Missing my....

Tonight I am missing my customers, and my routine. But I mostly miss the one constant in my life. I miss you; Sprint. During the last 8 years, you played an imperative role in my life. But I wonder, do you miss me too? Now only a memory to you, will I be forgotten? Here I sit, missing the reasoning in my life as tears stream down my face, I miss you and I just can't get over you not missing me...

The grass is always greener

I have been officially a "SAHM" for almost a week. The last 6 days went by pretty quick and this "job" is much more difficult than I thought. Our daily routine was pretty much the same. All was well until I got a glimpse of reality when I changed not 2 but 3 poopy diapers in one day. When I was working, I MAYBE saw 1 poopy diaper in a week! Also, while attempting to be "miss betty homemaker" I managed to break the vacuum and mess up macaroni and cheese. I'm not even seven days in and a part of me already misses working. Maybe the grass ISN'T always greener on the other side.... But, on the other hand, I love being able to pick Savannah up from school everyday. And even though Madelyn's diapers stink, I love being home and able to change them.

Opportunity

It seems like only yesterday I moved to WA. I packed up my Camaro and made the 840 mile journey to start my new life. My intent was to gain residency and go to school but first I had to find a job. I quickly found work at the Sprint store in Lynnwood. It was an "easy in" since I worked at the Sprint telesales call center back in SLC for over a year.

Over the next 8 years, not a day would go by without saying the word "Sprint". I worked, and I worked spending 40-50 hrs per week away from the family I built with Jason. It was worth it. We lived comfortably in a new house, newer vehicles, and private school for Savannah. Life was good... Or was it? We spent very little time together as a family, but bills were paid so it was OK, right?

11/6/10 was the day that divided my life into two parts and changed the lives of all of us forever. A day that will be in my mind forever. This was the day that Sprint no longer needed me. To Sprint I am not a mother, not a wife, not even a human-being but rather a number on a spreadsheet.

One word comes to mind during this time; Opportunity. This is my opportunity to change, my opportunity to do what I want to do. This is my opportunity to shine. Now my life will forever be divided into two parts; before working for Sprint and after....

Where will I go from here?... School. What I originally came to WA to do. Prereq's first then on to apply to the Nursing program.... I will have the opportunity to do what I love and I will love what I do, all while getting to know that family that I made and haven't been able to fully enjoy. What an awesome opportunity it will be.

Come along for the ride and don't forget to buckle up...
