Summertime

So today I'm going to lunch with my "homies." My homies are the ladies from my Home Team which is another term for "small group" or Bible study"

During most of the year, we meet on Friday mornings to study different parts of the bible together. Some in our group are more diligent and committed to this portion and thankfully, they keep the rest of us on track (or atleast they try really hard)

But we take the summer off so we are just getting together today to get together and I can't wait! I really miss my home girls!

Plus, I'm really starting to get bored. I've been doing misc. administrative work for my boss which has been giving me some hours and a little paycheck but there are many hours of quiet this summer.

My daughter, Caity, is away this week at a conference and my son, Alex, is very busy with his job and his life. Dave is at work all day so it's mostly just me and Maggie (my totally awesome but mentally touched dog) and Linus (the crotchety but lovable cat)

Hence the formation of this blog.

So any chance to get out of the house and have some human contact, I'm all over it!

Tomorrow is Saturday and Dave is off for the first time in 2 weeks so we have a big day planned going out to look at fireplace/chimney configurations. Normally, that wouldn't excite me but hey, now it does! (More about why we are looking at fireplace/chimney's in a later post. Try to contain your excitement)

I'm thinking of next week cleaning my carpets. I'll let you know how that turns out :)

Crossroads

So I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon with this blog thing!
I've thought about it for a while but honestly, what do I have to say that would possibly interest anyone?
But, I hear it's good therapy so here goes. If you have nothing better to do an you wish to read this blog, thanks! Leave me a comment so I know you were here.
So I guess my life is at somewhat of a crossroads. The future of my job is questionable and I've been thinking of making a change anyway. Only now the decision might be out of my hands. It's nothing I've done, mind you, it's just the way business works sometimes.
I've been in my current job for 9 1/2 years. I really like what I do, for the most part but honestly, it's not at all challenging or fulfilling. It's just easy and comfortable.
I've really never been a career minded person. Thankfully, my husband is but I've always been very comfortable in a support role. I keep the laundry done, the house somewhat clean, the dog fed and sometimes I even cook dinner for the family. My "job" has always been a part time gig and that has suited me just fine. However in the last few years, we have felt the pressure of 2 kids headed for college and the need for a more full time income .
So what do I want to do with my life? What do I want to be when I grow up? What do I have to offer a potential employer? The answer keeps coming back to a big fat "I dunno!"
