Dreams and Interrupted Plans.

Back in May I was messing with my phone, somehow found myself looking up info on Woodward Schools and saw they were looking for a secretary at the Early Childhood Center which holds pre-k-1st grade.  Cody noticed me in deep thought and asked what I was thinking about.  I told him I might apply for the position.  He was a little shocked.  He knows how much I love staying home with Jones and raising him and not a daycare, but he told me to do whatever I wanted.  I applied the next day and mailed in my application and received a call 2 days later for an interview.  The interview went great!  May passed, Cody's helper on the ranch quit, we became busy, I was Cody's helper, June passed and I hadn't heard anything.  I didn't stress about it because I knew if I didn't get the job I would be just as happy because I would still be able to stay home with my lil' man and it seemed Cody needed me more now on the ranch.  I finally called sometime in July to see if they had filled the position and they hadn't.  I got called for my 2nd interview a few days later and it lasted maybe 2 minutes.....not good in my mind.  They called the next day saying I was hired!  I was a little shocked and still had a little anxiety about leaving Jones.  I  had signed him up for a great preschool in town but the wait is about 1.5 years, ha!  I got lucky and my friend told me she could keep him!  She has 4 boys and a foster mom to a little girl. He is doing so good over there! 

 Him and Crosby are about 3 months apart and both ALL boy!  They fight like brothers:)  Jones is learning a lot from this little dude.  Good and bad and I am so glad!  It was time to venture out and learn knew things and learn to socialize!

 They live in a neighborhood with another little boy about their age and they all have a good ole' time. 

I enjoy my new job and know I am up there for a reason but I sure do miss staying home with Jones, cooking, and helping Cody when he needs help.  I always knew I wanted to stay him with my maybe the first couple of years but it is so hard leaving him every morning.  I have no idea how mommas leave their newborns!!!!!!!!

Jones,  I so hope you are enjoying this time and learning so much!
