My birthday was this past Tuesday (June 14th), and it was the start of a fantastic week. My mom bought me lunch (we work together) and when Troy got home from work around 6, he greeted me with a dozen red roses and a box of chocolates. He also made reservations at The Keg and we had a really nice meal (I had filet mignon and it was deeeee-licious!!).
We got home and discussed booking our flights to Zimbabwe for Christmas. I had been checking the prices of the flights daily (sometimes, multiple times a day!) for the past few weeks and noticed on Tuesday that the prices DID go back down...but I knew it wouldn't be for long. We decided just to go for it, since it was probably the cheapest we would get and if we really wanted to go we just had to do it! So, on my birthday we booked our flights to Zimbabwe!!! I am extremely excited! I have never been and it will be exciting to see where Troy is from and meet his family and friends that I haven't met, and see the ones that I have met! We are going for about 5 weeks.
Wednesday evening, my friend texted me and told me to call her boss ASAP. I had applied for a job within their childcare center and turns out they didn't receive my resume! The director set up an interview with me for the next morning.
Thursday I went to my interview, and it was more like a 2 hour conversation rather than a serious interview. She hired me on the spot! I'm an early childhood educator by trade, but have been out of my field for almost 2 years. I LOVE working with kids, but a childcare center can be challenging to work with - it's a lot of women in one place and can be filled with drama sometimes! I missed working with kids tremendously though so I told myself I had to get back into it, and if I still don't like it I can just stick it out until I go on maternity leave and decide my future afterwards.
My first day back in childcare is tomorrow and I'm excited but nervous.
TTC wise - Troy and I are debating whether to TTC still this month or not. I haven't decided for sure. I should be O'ing this week, but this trip to Zimbabwe is making me question the timing. If this cycle is successful then I would be 32 weeks returning from Zim back home, and I think that's a little too close and makes me a bit nervous. I'm not sure if we will still try and let whatever happens happen, or wait until next cycle. Maybe we will not-not try? Who knows....the decision will be down to the wire on this one!
