Sorry for the slow replies here - I've been spending much of my computer time working on my resume/looking for jobs, as I have recently decided to go back to work! I'm excited and nervous, but I think it will be a good move. Now that Henry is 3 and will be going to school next year, I want him to have some time away from me to get used to it - and I need it too. I've been a SAHM for 1 year and while it has had its ups and downs, I'm very grateful for the opportunity. So far I haven't applied for anything, but trying to get a general feel for what is out there and the pay range. I found one particular company looking for something that I would exactly fit in, so I'll be applying this week!! I'll keep you all posted on the job hunt/life changes with all that as time progresses.
Today I applied for a job that I REALLY, REALLY want. I'm a perfect fit. I hope they see that too and ask me in for an interview!
Prayers, warm fuzzies, good thoughts, pixie dust - whatever ya got - I'll take it please!! 
P.S. 107 days until Disney!
Hey Brook! Don't feel bad about not being on DIS for awhile & not posting updates! I think you've done very well with posting updates for your report so far! Sometimes you even post 2 in a row...so I think we all understand if you need a little break!
I am sooo behind...so I've been on DIS since 4:45am trying to catch up on all my reports...and now I am exhausted!
I was behind a few updates on your report, but it turned out to be a complete blessing to me to log-on here today!!! I have been going through alot emotionally with the whole SAHM vs. working thing. My husband just doesn't understand why I'm feeling what I do, so its nice to read all of the comments from everyone here on DIS regarding you going back to work! Reading this has put alot of reassurance in my own decision...along with feeling better that so many moms out there can relate...so thank you for that!!
I completely understand what you said...I've been a SAHM for almost 3 years now! (It will be 3 years in February) I LOVE being home with Luke & feel so blessed that I've been able to do this for so long...but at the same time, I think that Luke and I could both benefit if I went back to work, even if its part-time. Last week, I was seriously considering going back to work, but ended up deciding against it (for now). I'm going to wait until the Spring/Summer and then apply at some local daycares. I think it would be a good experience for me, I'll have something to put on my resume to show I've worked while being at SAHM, and Luke can benefit as well. He will have interaction with other children a few days a week & will learn that there is life out in the world without mommy! Sometimes I think his little world revolves around me...and while I love it, I think it will be scary for him once he starts school and realizes mommy can't go too! I worry alot about that. Anyway, enough about me! Just wanted to explain a little so you know that I understand both your excitement & nervousness for going back to work!
I wish you all the best in your job search & really, really hope the job that you want works out for you!!! I will definitely keep you in my thoughts & prayers! I hope you get called for an interview!!!
Disney ~ WOW, 106 days now!!!
I loved your pics of Country Bear Jamboree...for some odd reason, even with 2 days at the Magic Kingdom, we didn't do anything in Frontierland or Tomorrowland...we just walked through! I have wonderful memories of the jamboree, even if it was way back in 1987! LOL
YUM -- Dessert Party!!! I was looking at your pictures & couldn't decide what dessert looked the best! I think its a tie between the chocolate-covered strawberries & the creme brulee! It was adorable to see the pic of Henry with the coffee cup of milk!
Loved your pics from the People Mover too!!! Thats one of my favorite rides since you can see so much of MK from there & get alot of great pics!
I feel so bad for your friend...did she find another location for her wedding? That would be sooo much to rearrange, especially with such short notice. Please update us & let us know what happens. I will keep her in my prayers as well, I'm sure thats alot of stress on her!
Please update us on the job search as soon as you find out anything more!!!! Again, thoughts & prayers with you during this change in your life!
Have a good weekend Brook!
Great news! Don't be nervous either, like you said you're perfect for this job! That's all you have to remember.
, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
