New Job

I took the job as the assistant softball coach for the high school team. Everything fell into place that I needed to have happen so I would feel comfortable with the decision. It just felt 'right'.

I have wonderful young women lined up to take care of my daughter, and I feel this decision will positively affect all of my family. I will be better off because I'll have a break to pursue my interest of coaching; I'll also get some exercise in. My daughter will enjoy being watched by girl's that she knows, and the young girls will gain some experience caring for a toddler.

The only one that might not benefit directly is my husband. Honestly, though, he'll benefit because his wife will be refreshed and renewed. Also, I plan to have dinner cooking while I am gone so our family routine isn't interrupted. I'll be using crockpot meals a lot, and I even have a fancy oven that you can set up delayed cooking. I used that feature this evening to make chicken and rice casserole. It worked lovely. I was so excited to come home from practice to a prepared (and finished!) meal. After being in the biting cold wind, it was so rewarding to sit down to a homemade meal right out of the oven.

In two months time, I hope I can still say that this was the right decision. Time will tell.
