Torn
You know, the downside to blogging is that it takes away from any other creative writting. I’ve gotta find a balance between the two.
That is all.

Some random *ish

Ten Years Later
Life and circumstances change in ten years, however people do not. And seeing my former classmates confirmed that for me. I wouldn’t have expect to see any of them much different than they were in high school and I was not disappointed. I could try to describe how wonderful a time I had at my reunion, but words simply would not justify it. Once I get the slideshow with the pictures I think I’ll post a few.

Stability or bust
Stability is certainly NOT my middle name. Since I was 12 I’ve been moving around; hell I don’t think I can count how many times I moved between middle and high school. And even afterwards, I’ve still been pretty ‘mobile’. When Mama comes to visit in September this year, this will be the first time she’s come to visit and been to the same home as her last visit. Sad I know. My instability hasn’t been quite as dramatic in my career, but I’ve done my fair share of moving around in that arena too.
This is why I really have been and am still trying to stay where I am now. There was some major upheaving done recently in the project I was onthat had the potential to leave me jobless. And while I had the sense to look outside of the company, I was able to get things settled to where I am still at my current place of employment. The settled dust may bring some adjustments, however, that I really am not looking forward to; mainly in the form of traveling. It is known by those who determine my project placement that I am very against travel, however, that can’t always be taken into consideration depending on where they decide I am needed most. Single motherhood and travel weren’t really the combination I had in mind when I took this job. But staying with this company will position me to gain some great experience that I could excel with here or elsewhere if I so chose to. But staying comes with that sacrifice of possibly traveling. And I have to admit, the likelihood of a pay cut isn’t motivating me to up and jump into something else either….lol
It’s been an internal struggle for the past week or so that I’m still working on settling. I’m looking outside, but also working on the inside to make the best opportunity of what I have. Minimal travel and excelling in an area that would be beneficial to me would be a nice balance. Gonna have to hustle to make that a reality.
