January 26, 2004.
I have a week to go. I have barely packed. It almost seems I don't have time to pack. I have the U-Haul reserved, ordered the electricity, the telephone and of course my internet. I have friends coming with me to help with the move. But I feel like there is something I forgot. Whatever it is I hope its not that important! My daughter keeps asking me when we are moving to Orlando and asking to see Mickey. She seems excited though I hope she will be okay once we get there.
Another big issue going on for me - A JOB! I have a few interviews lined up immediately when I get there. But they seem to be falling into two categories. Category 1 - good money but a whole lot of hours; Category 2 - less money and more time at home. I have to be honest and say both are tempting. I don't know what is better right now. I want more time at home but I don't want to kick myself later for not taking the job that offered more money. I guess I'll wait to see what the final offer is from each of them and go from there.
Then we come to the daycare issue. I have researched different day cares and of course I need to go see them once we are there. But that scares me. My kids have only ever been with a private babysitter so the whole daycare thing is new to me. Amber is used to being around a lot of kids and she is more social. Anthony has pretty much been with his babysitter since he was born (I had a whole 4 weeks of maternity leave and even that was an issue)so I am hoping he will adapt well.
So much to consider and as the days are going by so fast and I am getting more scared by the minute.
On a side note - my girlfriends took me out dancing on Saturday. Kind of like a going away thing. I had a good time because I love going dancing. But all it really did was show me once again how different I am from my friends. I am 25 and we are all around the same age range. The only diffrence is I am the only one with kids. So while they all can party all night I go home early because I know I need to be up early with my kids. They don't understand. I feel more at home just writing this diary with all of you then I do with them anymore.
Ok I will stop rambling on. Sorry for all the jumping around. Just a million things going on right now. Thanks to everyone who posted on my TTM board. You guys are great and I already feel at home with everyone here. I will post again after the move and let you know what happened (or didn't happen).
