The only thing constant is change....

It is early on in 2010 and there are already changes in the our household. I gave notice at EMQ Families First, my full time job where I am a Clinical Program Manager, when I returned from our vacation and as of January 22nd I am now my own boss doing therapy full time. This is a huge relief after the last two months of working three jobs while I grew my clientele enough to justify leaving my full time job. I am excited to have reached a major career goal of mine but nervous at the same time. All prayers, thoughts of good karma and referrals my way are very much appreciated.


With my new schedule I will only be working four days a week and will get to spend more time with the kids, which is a good thing because they sure are growing up fast! On a rainy day last week we had Alex try out his new roller skates and he is such a fast learner!

Amelia has been our little stripper lately. You cannot keep clothes on the girl. If you look away for too long she has stripped down to nothing but her birthday suit. I am hopeful that this is her way of preparing for potty training. Lately she has been showing interest in the potty and often runs to get diapers when she has a wet diaper. This weekend she actually sat on the potty chair for a while, although she didn't actually do anything other than read a book - but hey, it is a start and I will take it!

Another thing I hope to have more time to do in the near future is scrapbooking. A couple of weekends ago my cousin Kim, my good friend Channone and I did a 12 hour scrapbook crop. But before that, I hadn't had time to scrapbook in almost 6 months and with all the photos I take that puts me quite behind. I still have half of 2009 to finish scrapbooking but at least put a little bit of a dent in it....

Yet another thing I hope to be better about with my new schedule is blogging both on this blog and my professional blog. Unfortunately as soon as my schedule slows down a bit I tend to fill it right back up but I'm going to try very hard to keep things a bit calmer for a while. :) Although I am thinking about training for a half marathon this summer.....
