New Job

Wow! It has been forever since I posted anything on here! I have been super busy with work and home stuff for the past few months. I have been so busy that I decided to change positions at work. My job was becoming overwhelming and I felt like I was neglecting my family and house and falling short of expectations due to high caseloads and working 50 or more hours each week plus on call responsbilities, so it was definitely time for a change. It is really hard for me to admit when I cannot handle something or balance things, so it was really hard for me to change jobs, however, I am so grateful I made this decision. Already, I am working regular hours and feel far less stressed out. I get to spend more time with Nate and Ben and have been keeping up (a little better) with housework. I have a reduced caseload and most of my time is spent completing mental health assessments for another program at work. I really enjoy what I am doing and feel like I have way more of a balance now. I can tell that Ben is happier now that I am home in time for his bedtime routine most nights and I get to spend more time with him. Nate has more responsbility and stress at work right now, so it is great that I have less. I still have to work kind of late some nights but I go in later now to balance my time at work and I wasn't able to do that before because I had too much to do. Life is good! I am beyond blessed and thank the Lord every single day for everything that I have in my life!
