Times..they are a changin...

There is much to do on this beautiful, sun shiny, bright and colorful fall day.  Yet, here I sit...typing cause there are so many random thoughts that have been passing through the little neurons in my noggin lately that I feel drawn to the keyboard.  I'm thankful that Troy is at work and the kids are at school so that I can actually have some time with the keyboard.  I see another computer (possibly a secret laptop) only for me in my future.  Ah, one can dream, right?

I must write quickly though..."Write like the wind" as I like to say even though the wind doesn't really write does it?  It just sounds good. I must clean the house because on Monday mornings, it looks like the fraternity from Animal House met the Northern Army and they teamed up to march through my house pillaging and rummaging through everything from clothes which are all over the floor to dishes that make a nice tower to the ceiling.  So, there is much ado about a lot of stuff that will have to get done, and the urgency strikes me slap in the face because my days as a "Stay at home Mom who manages to work part time to keep her RN license" are just about over.  I'm about to enter the insane world of "Working Mother".  God help us all. And, I'm not kidding about that last part.  I will not be able to do this without some Divine Intervention...possibly in the form of a housekeeper...but we'll just wait on that to see if I actually like the job.

My youngest is now 6 years old.  I always said I would eventually go back to work..."Eventually" has finally come. And, on October 31st, I begin the new adventure.  It's as a home health nurse, and I've done that before..only part time or PRN which meant that I really didn't have to work everyday unless they really needed me and I wanted to.  That's been nice.  However, as busy as I am here, and as I have managed to stay without working full time, I think it's probably time to start banking some money for the college eds that will hit me in a few measly years, and maybe even help with retirement. I figure if it doesn't work out, I always have this blog...which pays, uh...well, maybe I'll like the job.

SO, yes, times they are a changin...I'll throw a modified version of the Ecclesiastes verse about "a time for everything" in here cause I can..It's my blog.

There is a:
Time for work, a time for play
A time to start another day
A time to work to earn a check
A time to clean your house cause it's a wreck
A time to rest and sing and pray
A time to visit along the way.
And during all the time we're given,
If we see why we're livin,
Then, all the stuff that we go through.
Will make this life seem not so blue.  

Cheesy, I know..But kinda true eh?  Well, it's time to crank up some music and get the laundry folded and begin the "procrastination breakdown" which I will have to bust through if I am to get my house ready for the impending sabbatical I'll be taking soon. My lofty and completely unattainable goals for the day are to catch up on the scrapbooks that I'm five years behind on, have all clothes folded, put up and organized to make for easy dressing in the mornings, clean out my closet for said same reason, and maybe clean out the car just cause I'm under the delusion that doing all that will help with the transition for us all.  Again, it's only Divine Intervention that will save me..or really, anybody else for that matter.  I think I'm taking the "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" verse in Philippians a little to seriously.  HAHA. We'll see.
