Wow. Time Flies

Wow! It’s been a year since I’ve been on here. What can I say. I’ve been busy. I had a baby….obviously! She was born in May 2016. I’ve been learning something new every day as she’s learning and growing. I couldn’t do the whole “school & work & baby”! But I sure am doing the “work & baby”! Staying home with my baby and working from home has put a toll on me. I’ve starting having panic attacks and anxiety that I’ve never had before. It literally makes me feel like I’m dying. My chest starts to tighten up and it gets hard for me to breathe. My heart is racing so fast it’s almost like it’s not even beating. My eyesight goes blurry and I become light headed and dizzy. Whoa! That’s crazy. And that happens I’d say about once every week or so! No I haven’t seen a doctor about it because my insurance cancelled because I’m not “working” a real job. When I say I work from home, I work for my husband! He’s the part owner of a small garage door installation company. They don’t have medical insurance. So…..I’m working with Medi-Cal and Covered California right now to get some insurance. Just my luck it’s the year of the “Trump” and he’s trying to do away with “Obama Care” which here it’s called “Covered California”

Ugh.

Well, there’s so much that had happened and that keeps on happening. It’s almost like I’m in a movie or a really bad drama. They’ll be more to come from me in the next few days, weeks. I’m so excited to be planning my babies first birthday. It’s gonna be so much fun.

Woot Woot

School&Work&Baby

I’m due on May 22nd…which is right around the corner to me. I’m still working at my normal full time job until I hit 36 weeks. I’m thinking of quitting that job when it’s time to go back. The travel and the stress for this job position is just not for me anymore, especially with a new baby! I’ve asked multiple times for a transfer to a closer store located right around the corner from my home. But for some reason they don’t want to let me go. It’s like if I leave that location, that is 1 hour away from home, the store is going to fall apart. Well, my husband has his own business with a friend. Their business is growing and expanding and need more workers. I’m already on the list for them when they need the help. So, I’m thinking of staying home and working for my husband from home when the baby come. I’d be doing job estimates, invoices, ordering supplies, billing and other office management duties. Which is what I’m doing now but for a corporation. I’d love to stay home with our new baby and work from home. All in all, I’d be working only a few hours a day and I wouldn’t have to leave the house or my baby! At the same time, my husband is so encouraging, that he wants me to go back to school to pursue what I’ve always wanted to do. So, I also just recently reenrolled in online classes for the medical field. My goal, hopefully, is to be done with school by this time next year. That way I can get a better job in doing what I love to do. But at the same time, I still want to be a stay at home mom and just work from home helping my husband with his business.

So, in a shorter less confusing way, within the next couple of months….I will be quitting my current job, I am enrolled in online classes, I will become a first time mother, and I’ll be helping my husband with his business. Am I crazy? Can I actually pull off having a new baby, while working and going to school? If other woman out there can do it, then why can’t I?
