A major shift in our lives...

Well I did it. I got a job. A part-time job working evenings and weekends.

A challenging, never boring, high energy position on the front desk at...

The Waring House













Wow, how exciting right? It should be exciting right? I should be excited right?

Then why do I feel so overwhelmed when I have to leave for work. Today I had to make Jay pull over on the curb (on the way to work) because I started crying. I don't want to go to work. I hate leaving the kids. My thoughts, energies, passions and dreams have been tied to these two precious children for the past 13 + years and I'm just not sure I'm ready for things to change.

This is something that has been coming for a while now. We desperately need for me to work and bring in another income. I seriously thought I was ready and even imagined myself looking forward to it, but I have to be honest and admit that now it's here, I wish it weren't.

Maybe if the position wasn't so incredibly demanding and overwhelming. Maybe if things were a little better organized and everyone worked on the same wave length. Maybe if it were a perfect world the sun would be my favourite colour instead of yellow.

I guess I need to suck it up and just plug away.

I'm sorry if this is a downer of a post and I seem to be whining, "but it's my blog and I'll whine if I want to".

Honestly working at Sobeys or McDonalds is looking better and better. I really was looking for something a little more mindless and repetitive haha.

Now I get to learn all about The Waring House, Claramount Inn, Barley Days Brewery.

I have to learn about all the wineries in Prince Edward County;

I have to learn how to pronounce French words like Table d'hôte (tablaadoe LOL)

Table d'hôte is a French loan phrase which literally means "host's table". It is used as restaurant terminology to indicate a menu where multi-course meals with only a few choices are charged at a fixed price. Such a menu may also be called prix fixe ("fixed price"). The terms 'set meal' and 'set menu' are reasonably common as well. Because the menu is set, the cutlery on the table may also already be set for all of the courses.

Why can't they just say "the fixed food and price menu"?

Ah well, I'm tired after my evening shift and I need some shut eye. I'll come back later and whine some more.

Okay, it's now time to be a little more grateful here. I am grateful for this opportunity. I'm am grateful to my friend Jeanette, for putting the bug in my ear about this position. I am grateful for the confidence that God gave me during the interview process which compelled them to hire me right away.

Regardless of which way this all goes, I am grateful for the opportunity. All whining must be viewed as a mom being separated from her babes and waiting for it all to become easier as promised.

I now leave you with this...
