Today I feel good...
For the first time in a while, I feel good.
Things have been hectic and sketchy for a while, and I felt really overwhelmed. There was a situation with work and now I have two part time jobs, but the schedule works our perfectly so either J or I can take the baby to work with us. We are very fortunate in that aspect.
Also, as an early confession (and I'm sure I'll get flamed for this)...but J and I have been so tired lately that 90% of our dinners for the past 2 weeks were take out or fast food. Saturday night, I decided to go grocery shopping by myself to get out of the house for a while and it was DEEPLY satisfying to fill the cart with fresh veggies, meats, etc. and the list had a complete list of planned dinners. It's only been a couple of days, but I can already feel the difference. I don't feel weighed down, lethargic and haggard. I feel like everything is OK, and just like Bob Marley said "Every little ting is gonna be alright" 
As far as the work situation went, I was very unhappy with my position and knew there might be a change when I came back from maternity leave. When faced with the problem that I knew was coming, I was contacted by an acquaintance in town where I live and was quickly hired (I feel extremely lucky) because she needed additional coverage while on vacation. It's such a different energy there. There's a level of professionalism that doesn't exist in job #1. I've been there a week and already have gotten so much positive feedback from the people training me on how quickly I'm picking things up and how willing I am to learn more. It's really nice to feel appreciated. It makes coming to job #1 easier because I'm only there for part of the day rather than the whole day.
Sorry to be an AW if I am...I just needed to get that out.

Glad to hear it!
And pbblgh on the food thing. When we first moved we were getting takeout for the first two weeks. We're working women, not super women. (And you know what? I still eat frozen Lean Cuisines for lunch because I refuse to give up my life to have a home-cooked lunch every day, shocker!
)
Anyway, that's good to hear job no. 2 is having such a positive impact. Sometimes it's like coming up for air, isn't it? I like this post.
So glad things are going well, L! Don't worry about the food thing. We all go through times like that. I have been dealing with finding the time to cook also, it happens. Doesn't make us bad people.
So cool about the new job! Congrats!
