Today - I have looked forward to - as well as not wanted to deal with. There was a fleeting thought of not coming in, but I figured that I would be braver to face the music.
Today - I finish working with ML - I have been here 5 years, wonderful years. I have had a deep dark look back, I only started there 'cause my mother worked her and needed some one asap to cover for a staff member who was less than reliable.
5 years later, I am still here.
There is so much I have learnt and gained. Experience and skills are the obvious. But more so I have learnt things about myself - and some treasured friendships.
Things that I never thought I could find. Both with other staff (and the boss!) and clients. Thank god for Facebook - I can keep in touch with these beautiful ppl.
I have spent most of my day being teary - I have received 2 gorgeous gifts and flowers and compliments. But thats not the true reason.
My girl - today is her last day at kindy.............
My baby isn't a baby anymore.....
*sigh*
Where did the last 5 years go??? I was 5 mths pregnant when I started here.
R came into this world and I came back to work 12 hours a week - from 4-7 pm 4 days a week and Saturday mornings. The hours slowly crept up and up and up.
Now - R is ready for school. No longer that little girl, she is learning how to ride her bike with out trainer wheels (nearly!!). The girl who tells her daddy off for having the telly up too loud at night!!!
So come July 23 - she is officially off to school.... and as of Monday - I am off into a new challenge. Scared schitless about the change - but thats just me - the typical Cancarian.
But for now - it is Friday. I am off to have dinner with some fellow co workers at our Mid Year dinner. Should be fun.
I will show off my "going away"/"parting" gifts..... I am a lucky girl... that's for sure. Maybe tomorrow..... after my hangover disapates.
