Apple Picking Adventures...

Yesterday, E & I went apple picking with the playgroup we've joined. Although it was a little early in the season, and they only had McIntosh apples ready to pick, it was a great time with lots of photo ops. E really enjoyed picking apples off the ground, and when I wasn't looking, started eating some too. After picking our apples, we took a little walk through the petting zoo, which had some of the most friendly animals I have ever encountered...and we've been to our fair share of petting zoos this summer. The donkey even came right over to nuzzle my hand & the baby goats RAN toward us to investigate. E just loved it!

This may be due to sheer boredom, but...

...I've decided to try my hand at blogging again. Call it boredom, call it a form of therapy, but I'm hopeful that I'm more consistent with it than I have been since little E was born almost 2 years ago!
The move this summer has unfortunately proven to be the most difficult yet. I had always figured that once I had a child to keep me company, it would be smooth sailing... Not so much. I actually went on an anti-depressant for the first time in my life (I admit that I took myself off it a week ago, but that's not the point...). I haven't yet figured out why I've struggled so much. I think it has been hard for me to adjust to being a mom instead of being a mom/social worker. Once I can accept it, I think it will be ok.
So now that summer is officially over, my goal is to continue looking for jobs and to look into the possibility of getting a bachelor's degree in nursing. Although I love being a social worker, money talks baby and I think I need to have a more lucrative career.
