Happy Mother's Day!

There is only one other person in my life that can relate to my feelings about Mother's Day, although MB is expecting anyday now, we both made the decision to place children for adoption. Mother's Day is bittersweet-I gave birth to 2 beautiful children who God intended to be a part of other families, but I don't feel like a Mom. It's actually quite odd for me to think about every really being a Mom-leaving the hospital with my husband and a child in tow to the great unknown of parenting. At this stage of my life, this is not even a desire of my heart.

I am excited though, because I got my first official callback about a job in Chicago. It's a large Northwestern Mutual agency downtown. I am supposed to be in Chicago the first full week of June to interview, I am praying this first call will start a trickle down effect. I have decided to forego using a headhunter, instead using all of our family contacts in CR & Chicago...I truly feel that's the best way to go, but I WANT A JOB NOW. (Praying for a little patience here, too)

I am also officially back into my running...and I feel good. Last week I logged 11 1/2 miles..and 6 of that was done in Downtown DC on Saturday, it was a beautiful day and I was reminded how much I don't take advantage of being able to drive downtown in about 25 minutes and just enjoy the Nation's Capitol.
