Clocking in Here & There

It’s April 2nd, and I’m very excited about the new month and the new opportunities it will bring. I am a Security Officer and a Personal Protection Officer in the state of Texas, and I have the pleasure of working for an amazing company. They offer jobs all across Texas and I really have enjoyed the gigs I’ve been working close to home. Lately, I’ve been taking jobs a little further out from home and it hasn’t been too bad. I observed how my daughter and I dealt with the new temporary arrangement, and was pleased.

I decided that I would take a job close to Mexico this coming weekend and get that work experience. It wasn’t until I confirmed the shift, that the feeling of uncertainty arose. I was worried about not being close to my daughter. It was just a ME thing though, because she was fine with the whole thing! Still, I decided to ask a family member ( who lives close to where I’ll be working) if I could let my child spend a couple of nights with her & her family, so we could still be close. What do you think about that? My daughter will be with cousins her age that she hasn’t seen in a couple of years, and she is so excited about that. It will be a more lively scenery, rather than the usual weekend at Grandma’s house lol.

Still, I wonder if I made that decision due to panic…..I mean, it all works out, but I don’t condone making rash decisions. Maybe I’m being hard on myself. Second guessing is never a good feeling. We all know how that feels. Maybe I’m overthinking this because of the phase of my cycle I’m in. Hahaha, I really don’t know why this bothers me so much, I feel disappointed in myself a little. It’ll pass though, this too shall pass. How would you have handled this situation? Do you have any advice? Please let me know.

Until next time!
