I was working part time as a waitress at Bob Evans. Riley’s autism was making itself more clearly known. Both girls were in Early Intervention therapies.

Life was hectic crazy.

So when I ended up needing an emergency hysterectomy and I was off work for a couple of weeks I decided to stay off work permanently.

Today I rejoined the work force.

In a sort of ‘dream’ job for the avid reader and aspiring writer – I’ll be working in a one of our local libraries. I had my interview today and got the call just a few hours later.

Right now I’m nervous about finding a babysitter for the very short time I’ll need one…and about whether I will earn enough to make it work. I believe and hope that it will work itself out.

I’m excited. I’m trepidatious.

I know it’s the right time. Part of me hoped I’d never have to go back, but I know I need to.

Wednesday I start.

The next chapter.
