Back after a long hiatus
admin May 10th, 2010
After a long hiatus I am hoping to start writing again here on my beloved PA. Let me tell you what has happened since I last posted:
1. My kid is now almost 2 years old. Can you believe it? Oh, he is SO fun. Occasionally exhausting but really fun. I am hoping to chronicle more of his growth and hijinks here. PS: Spell check suggested I change the word to hijacks. Yeah, hopefully not.
2. I have a new job. Get this – I am an official Science Writer!! I now work for a major science magazine and have a real title and everything. So. It really CAN happen.
3. I moved to new city for my job. It was scary. I did it anyway. I am hoping that this is a good thing.
4. After spending (and loving) 1.5 years at home with my son, I now have a good dose of working mother’s guilt at going back to work. Sometimes I really wish I was still with my son. Maybe I should have just moved into a smaller but still nice house so that I could stay with him for these next few years and be able to buy a few things and save too and do this writing gig later, you know, when I will have all kinds of time. Instead I am in new city away from friends and family with more expensive housing and doses of guilt. These are the things that keep me up at night.
5. But, I love this job and I love the directions that the job will allow me to follow in the future. I figure that it’s only fair that I bring you along with me.
So, hello all you all. I’m back!
Wow, glad to see you back! I’m happy to hear that things are going so well–congrats on the new job!! (and a little envious, I must admit). “Major science magazine?” That sounds exciting!
Looking forward to accompanying you on the ride… and oh yeah, I know what you mean about working mother’s guilt! After several months at home, I”m headed that way, too!
