Change!

Seems life is always changing... like it or not... it is!
My life has changed very much in the past few months. I am a pretty private person...Yes, I blog, Yes, I facebook but, I am not one to air my laundry for the world to see..

Anyway... not to be vague but my life has changed. It was not my choice but honestly something I have seen coming for years.
Because of the changes in my life, I have had to take on a job and, yesterday was my first day.
It was such a great day. I absolutely LOVED it and I am so excited about it.
It is HARD work. I haven't worked so hard at a job job ever (being a stay at home mom is the hardest job but, the most rewarding)
I work for a catering company. It seems to be the perfect job for me. I get to work with people and I love seeing and talking and meeting new people.
Yesterday, we catered a funeral. I was nervous about this at first. I was sure I would end up crying at some point with how emo I have been lately... I didn't.
This was an elderly woman who had gone  home and while people would miss her, it was a celebration of her life. The people were kind, and smiling and it was different then I had expected.
The funeral service and lunch were held in the exact same room. I did feel like an intruder walking around the room where this obviously loved lady was laying in her casket. However, the family made us feel welcome .. they treated us as tho we were family too. It was, sad to say, a nice day. I really REALLY liked it.
Saturday I get to go to the Air Force base here in our state to cater breakfast to the base. I am pretty excited about this. I love our Military and I appreciate those who serve us SO much it will be such an HONOR to serve them breakfast!
The catering company is owned by a lady who goes to church with several of my friends. Friends that I have known since I got saved and started attending church in 1998. One of these friends also work there and I was able to work with her yesterday.... I am sure it is part of what made it so fun.
So, anyway.. it is very part time which is what I need for sitters and also for homeschooling...
Homeschooling... speaking of it... I am very pleased with the way Kaleb is coming along. It is a far cry from what he was when started this school year. Things have really clicked with him. And, while I am sure that this wasn't our last struggle (Kaleb is much different in many ways then the older two) I am glad that these recent struggles seem  well behind us.
