It has been a wild month, guys, and I’m sorry I haven’t been around. I landed my dream job and along with that came adjusting to wearing heels every day, commuting, getting dressed every day, and putting in long days. I did find the Mecca of workplaces, though. They work as a team, and truly value their employees. No calls after work or on weekends. No mandatory late evenings throwing parties, or working on days off. Taking lunch or leaving at the end of the day isn’t seen as a sign of weakness. You work hard when you’re there, and when you aren’t there, you aren’t working. It’s a novel idea!
Along with accepting the job, though, has been a acclimating the kids back to a working mom schedule. And Hubbin has been phenomenal. He’s always been a good husband, but he has taken care of the children, getting them up and feeding them and off to their prospective places, even though I leave after him, so I can plot my best route to take. He picks them up in the evening and feeds them before I even get home. One day that I’d had a bad day, I came home to my favorite Japanese takeout order sitting in the counter. Other times, it’s been home cooked meals. And some days I ate and fell into bed, and he did all the work. One day, the house was immaculate when I got home. It had always been straightened up when I got home, but this time it was immaculate. I think I cried. He is the best man I have ever known, and I loves the way he loves me. He even agreed to let me buy an iPhone 5 out of contract.
