Promotion

Yesterday, I went to work dressed like this. I had a job interview for a new position with my company. I have commutted to work for over 4 years, driving 140 miles round trip for this moment. A moment I dreamed about and worked hard for and can finally enjoy as it has happened. A moment I sacrificed many things for and one of the rewards....was my daughter saying to me, "now you can cook breakfast for me and fix my hair" and my son say " cool, mom can take me to school". That was hard to hear, but yes, this will soon be a reality, because I have accepted a position as a material damage adjuster with my company and will in the very near future, start my day of work from my home as I will go out and inspect losses and then prepare estimates from my office "at home". And in the words of Kool and the Gang, "celebrate good times, come on".
I can still hardly believe it. I'm not sure the reality of the situation as fully set it. I think because for the next fews months I will finish out my current position as an auto adjuster and then beginning formal training as a material damage adjuster. All I know is this is a dream come true.

Congrats! That is so exciting! The best move I ever made was selling the daycare in January and being able to be a mom and take my kids to school and pick them up! It was a huge sacrifice but for the best! Wish you the best of luck!!!
