I won’t lie… there’s a small part of me that’s excited about looking for a new job but… it’s a very small part! I love the thrill of a job search; identifying interesting jobs, writing cover letters, getting the interview, talking about staffing ideas to like-minded people, and ultimately getting an offer. I love that! But, the thought of leaving Matty, for any period of time, just breaks my heart. I have a hard enough time leaving him with my parents (and they rock!) for short periods of time, how am I going to leave him at school for a chunk of time? Thankfully I haven’t exactly started my search yet so we still have a while to go before I have to actually leave him.

We have signed Matty up at a local, private school and we had the opportunity to go hang out there yesterday. This was the first time that we went and hung out during the day and we both loved it. Matty found a set of blocks and a little boy named Jack and together they had a great time. His enthusiasm immediately put me at ease; maybe this won’t be as hard as I thought.

Now if I can only find an exciting job that pays well, has great benefits, is local to school and flexible enough to allow me to still spend plenty of time with The Boy!! This is the perfect market to be so picky in, right? Oy…
