So . . .

I've been feeling like I'm just a mom lately- not that there's anything wrong with that, but I feel like I'm not living up to my potential. It's a personal thing, (I haven't been in school for a while, I felt like a student for a looooooooong time). When we lived in St. Pete, I was the president of the young women (youth group) for church for a year and a half. Before that, I was in the presidency and working with the youth lots. That took up a lot of time. Now that I moved to a different congregation's boundaries, I'm a Sunday School teacher for the sweet 3 and 4yr olds. Of course I do prep work, but that doesn't take as much out of me, it feels like what I do every day.

So . . . . Now that Isaac's 1, I'm feeling the urge to volunteer more. It's a pain b/c it's sooooooo hard to get a babysitter. Even Steven's been working 14 hour days (honestly getting there at 6am and leaving at 11pm b/c of his promotion.) On the weekends, he's been fixing up his mom's house. So . . . . . I volunteered to be the president of our local component's dental hygiene association! I'm the Pinellas County Dental Hygiene Association's (PCDHA) President as of last night! I can do a lot of the work late at night on my computer, but I'll be a little more in touch with other local hygienists. I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into but the past presidents have been so good and are leaving me with a well oiled machine. We even have $ in our budget and lots of chair members for our different community service projects! Since 2003, I've been a student member then a board member. I love being a Registered Dental Hygienist! (Part-time of course, b/c I like doing lots of things at once.)
