Wow Wednesday

A few things that made me think, "Wow" on this Wednesday, February 6:

1. My son catches on quickly to new activities. We practiced rolling a ball back and forth on Monday, and last night he was rolling it to me. I thought about that today, and thought, "wow, he picked that up quickly!"

2. How Ive had to pretty much act like a single parent these past few weeks because Dan has been on second or third shift. I am with G all day and all night. I have a ton of respect for single parents. "wow. this is their reality all the time. My situation is just temporary."

3. How hard it is for me to stick with a diet or healthy eating. "wow, I really shouldnt be eating this..." Unfortunately, the thought is always after I've already started eating or have finished eating that unhealthy thing. I really feel convicted about changing my eating habits with Geoffrey around. Its just a very very hard addiction/habit for me. I want to change, its just taking a while.


Unrelated to this topic, but I wanted to add:

So, I'm thinking about getting a full-time job. I want to have another kid at some point, and I'd like to be in a better place financially when that time comes. However, it must be A. a job I actually want and B. in a field I'd like to persue long term. If I'm going to sacrifice time away from Geoffrey, and adding more stress to my life, it has to be for a good paying, personally meaningful job for me. I'm deciding what that looks like. I am not interested in non-profit anymore, but that is what I'm most qualified in, and where the majority of my experience is. I'm leaning toward learning and development jobs.
