The only thing constant in life

As I sat here today thinking on things I could blog about, my mind was blank.  I had no real family news to share at this point, nor any topic that was screaming to be complained about or praised over.  I was having the typical brainfog-numbness I've seemed to have had all week. 

And then the old saying of "the only thing constant in life is change" fell true.  Last month I sent off an application/resume/etc for a full time job.  Not hearing anything in the last week I figured that possibility wasn't going any further.  Before going to pick the children up from school I grabbed the mail, and in that pile was an envelope.  "Aha! The 'Dear John' letter has arrived," I thought to myself.  Reservedly I opened the envelope expecting to read the standard "thank you for applying however the position has been filled" reply. Except it didn't say that.  As my eyes scanned over the letter looking for those words I instead saw a date and time.  I decided I should probably actually READ the letter.  So, yeah, I have an interview coming up. 

And that brainfog-numbness? Gone.  I imagine the inside of my brain is like Spongebob's when he had to learn Fine Dining and threw everything out including his name.  All the little Lori's are running around trying to organize everything I need to do to get ready for going back to work full time.  Daycare, clothes, sick days, medical issues, bills, laundry, cleaning, exercise, time, time, time, and lots more.  What does it all mean, besides a total change in my life? It's scary as hell.  And yet I can't see it all being a bad thing.  There are many benefits to the change, I just gotta process it all in my head. 

On a side note... my first official 5k is in less than one day! We meet at noon tomorrow.  I can't wait!!
