So, I’m just going to say it–because it has been eating at me for a week now.  I got a new job.  A great new job.  An amazing new job.  But I won’t be blogging much about my great new job.  It is a fabulous opportunity and it comes with a very hefty pay raise.  Like almost double what I currently make.  So that’s awesome and means that my husband is currently car shopping and adding an iPad to his Christmas list. I am eying a second Epiphanie bag.

I am still working in the charter school sector but have a fancy new title of Director–I won’t say more as I don’t want to necessarily be goggled with my job and connected here.  I know, it’s sad.

But I am so happy.  I can’t wait to get to start my new job.  I am sad about leaving my current job, but my boss is amazing and she has been so supportive about my leaving, etc.  What is even nicer and goes to further support my belief that things in life happen the way they are supposed to happen is that I didn’t apply for this job.  The job found me.  It is nice to be a first choice for a job you didn’t apply for.  Knowing that your new boss thinks you are the best one for the job and not just the best one that applied.  So, I’m feeling pretty good about myself.  Hopefully good enough to stay way from the chocolate that calls to me from my desk.

I am committed to doing a two week sugar detox–hoping to push it to nearly 4 weeks.  I’ll be honest–I am going to have pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving with homemade whipped cream.  But, I am really serious about getting healthy–it’s less about losing weight for me now than it is being healthy.

Part of this might have to do with the fact that I just read 15 student papers analyzing Food, Inc.   Wants to make me not eat anything from a store.  I certainly am not buying tomatoes that aren’t organic and locally grown anymore.

So, things are changing.  Now only if I could figure out how to get my kids to stop whining or my husband to put the dishes in the sink and not on the counter.
