OH how time flies
Summer sure has been over quite fast. After midsummer, I lazed around at my dad's and was washing my rugs (by hand, by choise, because I enjoy it) when I got a phonecall. I got a job. Managed to organize my and boys' life in couple of days and then just enjoyed the two weeks I had before starting.
So, during those two weeks I went to party my friend organized (had a spectacular hangover the next day) and took boys to visit my uncle and aunt who took care of we having a loads of fun. Then I took them to an indoors kiddy park where adults are also allowed to explore.. had to walk or crawl right behind Brat who was very eager to see everything but too scared to do it alone, just yet.
We also just lazed around at home and had a birthday party for the Boy who turned 7.
Then boys took off to their two weeks with their dad and I started my new job. Selling magazines. On phone. To be totally honest, it's absolutely not my favorite thing in the world. I hate telemarketers myself. But the thing that got me to think was that this is two years apprenticeship contract. Pay is low, unless you do good sells. And I've seen myself some of my workmates do a rather spectacular sales day. So I know I can do it. I just don't have experience for it just yet. But I will get there. I know I will.
Another new thing is that my Boy started his school. (Yes, we Finns start school at age of 7) I was rather emotional that day, but Yay, he's big boy and Oh no, he's my baby, he can't be this big just yet. But he has enjoyed these two weeks (he says) and at least he knows all the class mates already. We will have a a lots of new stuff to get used to in this Fall, but I'm kinda eager to answer the challenge.
At least my Brat will be my baby for some time more, though we have started a rather long trip with this speech therapy. Luckily their dad is patient with all the changes our lives has been through (well , he better be, with all the changes in his life) and we've managed to sort out stuff we need to do with boy's daycare, therapy and school. Next is juggling with the Boy's hobbies...
Anyway, I'm enjoying my life again and everyday life is very content and if not happy, at least fun. While also being tiring. I hope my body and brain get used to new rhythm soon....
