Default So excited but a bit nervous.
My DH got a promotion! Not only is it a better job that he likes with more pay but his hours will be changing. After 22 years at the same place, he will be working an 8-5 job with no evenings, overnights or weekends!! Needless to say we are estatic over this. He won't start until they find his replacement but his salary will increase on April 1st. Boy I hope this isn't some kind of April Fool's joke!!!

For the first time since I was taken out of work 9 years ago I will be home alone. I'm a bit apprehensive about it because then I have to acknowledge that I will never be returning to work. I've been in denial and it hasn't really hit me because either my DH or DD have been with me on and off all these time. I've never been truly alone for that long of a time, day after day.

Next week my DH is working four out of five days on the day shift so I will get a little taste of what I'm in store for. On one hand I am super excited because this is something we've wanted and needed for so long but on the other hand I'm a bit nervous of how I will feel when this happens. I'm a little excited too because this means I can make a commitment to do something without anyone messing it up! Next year my DD goes to middle school so no more field trips and going into the school for things.

I'm also nervous because things are going really well for all three of us right now and I'm so afraid something bad is going to happen. Please will someone smack me?!

Off to make a list of all the things we've never been able to do in the past 22 years because of his work schedule!!

Congratulations on his promotion!

I cannot believe how much I treasure my solitude. When someone is home during the day it totally messes up my routine. It shouldn't....but it does.

It'll be an adjustment for you but you'll do fine. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
