June Cleaver Never Seemed This Busy

This weekend is my last weekend at Kohl's. Sad face. I will miss my "not-for profit" job. Oh they paid me, but never more than what I spent. Kohl's was my way of being pro-active about my spend-ohol. As long as I was funding my addiction then it wasn't so bad. So like a big girl I did my time for my discount for as long as I could. And it wasn't so bad. Really I was paid for playing with make-up all day in the Beauty department and on occasion folding clothes and straightening up and let's face it, that's exactly what I do at home so you could call me a professional. I will miss the people I worked with but as some said, with the way I shop they won't be seeing me much less than normal. :)

Anyways, why quit? Too much going on! Between being pregnant, raising two little ones, having the house on the market which necessitates constant cleaning and organizing to a whole new level, and Neil in the Masters Program meaning he is gone 2 nights a week and he has to study days he is home, plus work, all on a limited amount of caffeine and sleep...yeah suddenly being a stay-at-home mom doesn't seem so..."coffee, soap operas, and bon bons." So something had to give and the only logical (and possible) choice was my little part-time job. The only place I wasn't referred to as Momma, Mo-om!, Mommy, Landen's Mom, oh and for the first time ever today, Mrs. Alcorn. I was Melissa and I had a bit of a place where I could be just Melissa. Yes she still exists and in case you're wondering...she's still witty, sarcastic, and almost always in a good mood. Toot toot. So it's kind of a sad day but at the same time I started dreading having to go into work since I had a million other things to do so I know it's for the best.

I'm looking forward to having just a bit more time for all the things I need time for. Fall is my favorite season. Pretty leaves, crisp air, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. Plus this fall I get the honor of becoming a Godmother to two very special little ones. Neil and I will be the Godparents to our great friends Amy and Mike's soon-to-be daughter (get out of that belly already Addyson!) on Oct. 18th, and then I will become Godmother to my sister's sweet baby boy, Ryan, on October 25th. So it will be another busy month for us!

So...so long part-time job at Kohl's. I'll be seeing you during your next big sale. :)

Now, where's my pearls? Time to get back into June Cleaver mode...full time.
