Life iN General
Alright, so here goes nothing.
I have the most hardest job in the world. Nothing could have prepared me for it, nothing could prepare you for it if you were in my shoes. But despite it being so physically, emotionally, and mentally challenging, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
When I think about it, it's kinda funny. I wasn't nervous, or scared, or anything one should be when taking on a job that is so demanding like this. I mean, how many people can be emotionally, physically and mentally there, and ready 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - No vacation days, no Sick Days, no PLD days, I mean NOTHING - Not even a bathroom break ALONE - and doing so, without an actual $$ wage. The truth is, as stated above, no amount of money could lure me away from such a position I am in now. Notta thing. I love being called Mom, and Wife, and everything in between. I love being able to be me. There is no confusion, or fake fronts, no pretending to be someone else anymore. I can truely be happy expressing the Kara!
Winnipeg doesn't seem as bad as i thoguht it was in 1998 , and and I grew rather fond of those Jones ;)
On other news, aside from mothering, there is one thing I am nervous about. 2 weeks ago I showed up at the Winnipeg Folk Exchange Office and tried out for an office volunteer position. I didn't hear anything back from them as they had a couple people trying out on a couple seperate days. So I came into contact with them, and now I am part of the Office Crew! I get my Folk Fest volunteering done before July and not during festival time, My family is so gratefully helping me out (Momma and Momma-In-Law and Sam) with the kid sitting if Darby happens to be working. It's great..though i never really worked a full 4 hour shift yet (just a 2 hour trial) I think it will be a great opportunity for me. I never had an official "office" job before, and I think this will be beneficial on my resume, when I intend to go back to work and look for a *Hopefully* Mon-Fri kinda job. But yes...thursday, big day! Day 1! I'm nervous, and Don't really know what to expect. During my trial I answered the phone once, and organized their messy kitchen (What are mom's for?!)
So, here's to hoping that Thursday will be a fabulous day, and I fall in love with the office job.
Oh and to get my volunteer pass for Folk Fest, I believe I only have to put in like 50 hours - hopefully I can keep my foot in the door and just work it year round (which they are hoping for as well) and I won't have to worry about buying Folk Fest tickets for a while.
Well, I guess that's about it right now.
Darby is waiting for me downstairs, and I have to take Tahlyia to dance class tomorrow. Later all.
