Changes

I’ve looked forward to this day the entire week.  The thought of more home time, more sleep time, more time to do what I want to do.  I am so looking forward to this weekend.  Not because I have anything special to do, just because it means down time.  I’m relishing in it here lately. 

My good friends (Nancy and Nancy) from my old job called yesterday to inform of me some news.  It was something that we had talked about for many years, but something that I just couldn’t believe until I knew it was really happening.  Nancy S. is leaving Training and going back to the sales floor.  I was shocked!  It all happened so quickly but I know that is where her heart has been.  Training was something at one time that she could enjoy and throw herself into, watching as light bulbs came on in people and the sales started to come in, but as corporate politics develop so have the expectations of the job.  No longer was it fun or enjoyable.  It was something that she had to do and would buy her time until she could go back to what made her so good to begin with.  It was something that I witnessed first hand while I worked side by side with her.  I too experienced it. 

Nancy is one that looks forward to change.  January 1st is her favorite day of the year as she can look back and look forward, plan, organize, and start fresh.  She thrives off it.  This job change won’t be any different.  She knows the company (it’s the same one), she knows the product, the customers, the rules to the game but things have changed for her since she was a sales rep years ago before training ever entered her mind.  Her catalog is all marked up ready to go.  She’s got her desk picked out as well as her cubbie partner and she’s got a great outlook.  I’m so proud of her.  A Chicken Butt she is no longer.  (An internal nickname as she can threaten to quit but she can’t ask for time off ) 

 Anyway.  We are now counting down the days until we find out just what Squiggle will be.  5 days not including today.  I’ll find out the morning of the 6th day.  We are both excited which is refreshing to me as I can finally see the anticipation building and the attachment forming for my husband.  It is now very obvious that I am pregnant which I knew would be a trigger for him to really start taking part in the pregnancy.  I should be receiving my Sleep Sound in Jesus cd today if not by Monday so I will be able to start playing music to my belly.  I’ve not felt it move lately so I’m hoping that as I start playing music, I’ll start to feel movement again.

The heartburn has been managable the past 3 days without the use of Tums.  I’ve had a slight case here and there but nothing major.  We are planning on stopping by the health food store though this weekend to pick up some papaya enzymes in the event that it picks up with a vengence again.

So with that all said, I believe that pretty much wraps up my week.  I’m ready for my change of pace.
