I'm so used to those who personally know me knowing what's going on, but I fail to remember that there are others who may not know me personally that have no idea what's going on!
So, here goes...
For those that don't know, I work as a Paralegal in a County Attorney's Office in my hometown. I went to school for Criminal Justice, so this was right up my alley. I literally landed this job and then graduated two days later. Not sure how I scored that, but I'll take it!
This year, we received some news that turned our worlds upside down. I can't and won't go into great detail because it's someone else's story to tell, but long story short, I was and am needed at home more. So, Aaron and I made the decision recently that I would go down to part-time at my job.
I now work Monday's and Wednesday's (and the kids go to daycare those days) and then I am home with the kids the other days of the week. In my spare time and during busy farming seasons, I help out on the family farm now. It's been an adventure, lol. Learning curve for sure!
So, kind of an anti-climactic story lol, but this is where we're currently at! It's the best of both worlds because I love my job and co-workers dearly. I truly love what I get to do, I love the people and I love being in the community with others! Plus, it kind of gives me a little time to re-group and have some space, which I need so I don't go completely insane! Three kids is hard, okay?
So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
