So....

I got the job!!! I couldnt say because I didnt want to have to answer a bunch of questions if I didnt get it but I have been interviewing for the last month for a telephonic sales rep position in my same company. I have been looking for something different for a while but wanted the right fit. I love the company I work for and it's so close to home and the benefits are great.. So I found something internal and it all just fell into place and seems like it was meant to be...

The only downfall on top of a promotion, more freedom, more challenges and the possibility of working from home is 5 weeks of training in Charlotte, NC. Ugh. My husband is not happy and I don't know how i am going to be away from my kids and Thomas for that long... Its 3 weeks straight, then 2 weeks home, then 2 weeks back in North Carolina. Good thing is they will fly me home every weekend so I will only have to go 5 days without seeing them. And I get to rack up the frequent flyer miles and hotel points. AND after that, no more late nights and no more travel again after that. Short term sacrifice for long term gains..

Kirstynn has been waking up again.. UGH! I have to break her of this before I leave or Thomas is going to lose his mind.. Anyone have any suggestions and what has worked for them? Its only once and once she eats, she goes right back down and its fairly sporatic. She doesnt wake up every night.... Help!

Congrats, that`s really cool! It definitely sounds like the short-term sacrifice will be worth it!

Congrats! I thought you were going to announce you were having another baby...just kiddding hopefully your IUD works better than that! That is awesome that you got something that may be a better fit for you, although it will be hard to leave home it will be worth it...I guess it is actually a good thing you aren't breastfeeding, can you imagine what a pain that would be. It all happens for a reason, maybe your little one knew before you did! If you get the answer to night wakings let me know, we are soon to cry it out, but we have to get through this teething and now a cold:(
