Good change, Bad change

Our lives are about to change in a big way. And I still can't believe it's really happening.

I am going back to work. Full time.

I never ever thought I would be going back, especially this soon. It's only been two and a half years since I left my job to have my son. But when God opens the door and says "Walk through - Trust Me" I try to be obedient. And that's pretty much how it has happened.

So what's bad about it? Of course, it will mean leaving my son in someone else's care while I am at work five days a week. It will also mean waking up early, which is something I really don't like. I see a new coffeepot in my future. Wear and tear on the car, and increased gas prices are also things I'm not looking forward to dealing with. (How's that for an incomplete prepositional phrase?)

Here's the good news: I will be making a lot of money. Enough to pay off my credit card debt in a short period of time. And my son will be spending his days at my best friend's house, playing with his best friend. Plus, I will have challenging work that stimulates my brain. I've missed that - somehow 5 minutes every other day of crosswords and sudoku puzzles just isn't doing it for me. New clothes - I can't wait to go shopping! And of course a great boss, and good co-workers for the most part.

So, God knows what He is doing... come Monday, I guess He'll let me in on the secret!
