Wonderful Workplace
Many times in life, things tend to bog us down. Inconveniences, drama, and even monotony influence me to get a general pouty attitude. I always seem fairly upbeat, so my pouts come out as little complaints or sarcasm. This has been my mood for the past few weeks, but I realize the things on my nerves are not so important lately because great things that I really care about are happening.
The president & hr person at work talked to me on Monday to see what my plans/desires are as far as maternity leave is concerned. They asked if I would like to work from home during that time, which of course I do. They asked when I wanted to start working at home. I wanted to say that tomorrow would be good for me, but I went with a few weeks before the due date. That way, I can make sure things are running smoothly and I can pop back in for things I forgot. They said that they would take my computer to my house and get me setup, which I wasn't expecting. I thought I would be using my computer at home (it almost exactly like the work one - model & everything). They are going to set me up with access to the exchange server & get me a 1 gig memory stick. I told them I would probably come in to do some things here and there & just bring the baby with me. They were thrilled with that idea. Then - the total shocker... they asked if I was planning to take 3 or 4 months. What??? Four months is an option? Wow! Their flexibility has made the idea of maternity leave even better than I imagined.
My sister has also agreed to be our nanny for the summer. She will come about the 3 and a half month mark, so we'll have time with the transition. That will give us about 6 months without daycare, which makes me feel much better. I wish it could be more, but we'll take it as it comes and be happy for the good points.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
