We’ve had a busy few days! I’m emailing back and forth with my previous employer setting up the new freelance web writing job. So that should start Monday. With that incentive pushing me I realized that I should really get my application for school finished and sent off so that isn’t hanging over my head while I’m trying to get work done. I’ve chosen the University of Illinois’ program in Library Sciences. It was recommended to me by a friend of a friend…and I think it’s one of the better online programs in the US. I was looking up job listings for librarians yesterday, and it looks like even with the hit to the economy college libraries persist in hiring. So I think this will be a good choice. I’m excited about it.
In that vein, I went to our local library with John and Camper yesterday. I had to interview the main librarian to fulfill a requirement for the application essay, and I actually just wanted to introduce a couple of people to my family. I worked at the library while I was in high school, but they still remembered me. I hardly had to ask my questions: the librarian had so much to say and so much to catch me up on, we just started talking and when we were done I had my answers.
I’m excited about everything getting started again, and it feels good to look forward and know that I’ll have commitments that don’t include my little Camper, but at the same time it’s scary. This post over at TurleyBenson was a bit of a miracle for me yesterday as I was feeling stress about dividing my time. Truth is, it’s life. Our time gets divided between people we love and things we do, and it’s what we do with the time we have that counts I guess. When I woke up with le baby this morning we just cuddled for a bit and then laid on the floor and read books. There will always be time there for him if I just make sure I wake up and take advantage of it.

I’m glad it helped. It’s hard to find balance, no matter what.
And thanks for your comment on my C-section post. I was so sad for you when you had to leave the hospital without your baby. It just sucks when these really important things happen so different than you imagined. I’m sure I’ll get over it one day…
