This blogging thing is new to me. My family started one on another site, but I have come to like this site from all those whose blogs I read on here. We'll see how well I keep up with this. I don't have too much extra time to write about my life, plus I'm a strong proponent of talking to those who I want to know about my life. I have come to realize though, that those that matter most to me are scattered all over the earth now and making that many phone calls just isn't possible anymore.
I get to leave to go on vacation Friday morning. While I am NOT excited about having to be at the airport at 5am, I am excited that Thursday night at 9pm I am done working for 10 straight days! I haven't had a vacation in a year, and it's starting to show. I really do love my job, I've just hit my 7 year anniversary mark here this past September. I love the families I work with, the children, and the staff. It just becomes a bit much to do the same thing over and over and over again, everyday for a year. I took a few days off here and there this summer because my fiance's mother and neice were up for a month visiting. It's just not the same as going away and having an extended amount of time off. I think for my sanity, and my relationship survival, I really really really need this! I also can't wait to see my family. I haven't seen them in about 2 years. Maybe that doesn't seem like too much time, but growing up I got to see my family 2 or 3 times a year, and family is VERY important to me!
2 more days of work and counting!
