so far, this job has been a mile a minute and all full of turns and twists. mostly fun ones.
the level of talent i am working with would blow your freaking mind. seriously.
i am beyond impressed by some of it.
like WOAH. MIND BLOWED.
first deadline for the february issue is sunday, and i already have some work in my hot little hands, and have a list of articles that have yet to be assigned or written.
which means that next week i will be busy.
busy busy busy.
so what about the transition?
i would be lying if i told you i am not experiencing guilt with the kids.
for the most part, they are doing quite well.
thank god for the school.
they have a brilliantly consistent loving place to go to.
and they love being there.
they start 3 days a week next week.
i just can't seem to have enough time in a day working on 2 days a week.
and it is stressful for all of us if i am working while with them.
last week i asked madee what she wanted to be when she grows up and she said "a firefighter".
then she said, "NO. wait. i want to be a mommy."
and that made my heart drop into my stomach.
i want her to be so many things, and if mommy is one of them then yay.
but i want her to know herself and the things that fire her up.
i want her to discover the joy that goes along with doing something she is passionate about.
i want her to be able to show her own kids that she can do anything.
so i show her myself how these things work.
i explain when i need to.
but i do a lot of snuggling and sharing my life with her.
so she can know me.
so she can know herself.
