From zero to hero

So, the update...I got the dream job - great experience, effing crap boss so I quickly got pregnant, and quit the day I went on maternity. 1 year to the day I had come and gone. Not ego talking here but he begged me to stay, I told him the truth about working for him and we left it at that...

Now 2 years later, I am still very happily married and have a feisty little girl of 13 months with another cherub on the way. I am 4 months pregnant with a little boy - yay! we really wanted a boy this time. It's been a tough road. As most know having a child is a big learning curve and an endurance test that has no end...

It was scary leaving my job and having no income for a few months and even scarier wondering whether i would find something suitable thereafter. But I did, easily and it's taught me to stop fearing everything unknown - taking a leap of faith should come more naturally in future. Incidentally, I spent 6 lovely long months getting acquainted with Little Red and when I was ready I found the perfect job for a mother. Still in my line of work, I managed to find the 'work-from-home' dream job. I now work 6 hours a day for someone across the globe and I get to spend quality time with the family and other motherly chores.

I tend to get a bit cave-woman, for lack of having interacted with others in person, but if I make a plan to get out then I'm usually okay! Domestic Bli(p)ss in action!
