So, the tiny little hobbit will be two weeks old tomorrow, and I've already begun interviewing again to get back to work full time. I love my kids, both of them, and I wish I could stay home and be the full time mommy for our littlest one that I have been for his older brother. Unfortunately, the reality is that a family cannot live on just one income unless it is already six figures and while my husband works very hard, few dairy workers make that much.
My interview tomorrow felt a little less than stellar; I had the feeling she had already selected a person from the applicants that would be hired. It did help to get me comfortable with needing to focus on something other than being a full time mommy, and I have had to think hard about how to change my wardrobe to cope with the remaining weight postpartum. We had some complications at birth so I have to cope with damaged muscles that are preventing me from jumping into exercise again (this will be explained in his birth story to be posted soon).
What I do feel good about is that I have had a chance to use Pinterest to build ideas on what to wear for an interview or work. I'm thinking perhaps if I keep this up and can get some followers I'll have a chance at making a steady blog update about fashion for moms. My style is somewhat casual equestrian mostly because we live out in the country and I rode for so many years (up until pregnancy made it unwise to do so the first time).
I've been up to starting a casual and a business outline and trying to pick things I can wear for both... but oh how hard that can be with a tiny one. I need to go through my closet and dressers, take out everything and donate so much of what I still have in there. Most of those things will not fit again any time very soon and since the plan is still to get a new place for our family, I'd like a reduced amount of clothing to haul.
