I wanted to update everyone on what will be going on with Healthnutwannabemom's blog. I have had several very positive changes happen recently so I am sad to say that I will only be able to post 2-3 times a week now. In an effort to catch up on all our bills and try to get ahead I have decided to go back to work ( I am a little nervous as I have been a stay at home mom for 6 years now). I am going to be working at Macy's and as a Provider Relations Consultant (ooohhhh I love that title) at a private managed health care provider. I originally was only going to take a small part time job at Macy's but then things kind of fell in my lap with this other job and it is a phenomenal opportunity with a great company and great people.My mother is going to watch my girls while I work my day job (it is only 24 hours a week ) and my husband will watch our girls while I work my night/weekend job so my girls will be with family and no daycare which was my hesitation (nothing wrong with daycare I just prefer my mom and husband). I am excited to be working and earning money again (feels good to see my name on a check!) but a little nervous about everything.
I am sure that I will have lots of interesting new posts about health/dieting while in a new environment and some great tips (I better b/c I have to figure it all out). I of course have some anxiety of what am I doing? Have I lost my mind? What if I can't figure it all out? I always get this way before I start something new but then things always work out so I understand these are just jitters.
I love my blogging, commenting, receiving comments and visiting other blogs so I am going to fit all this in but for awhile it will be on a smaller scale (at least until I just have one job). Blogging is really very good for me as I feel so connected and have met so many wonderful friends/bloggers. So, I am not going away just going to be trying to fit it all in. Wish me luck!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

congrats on the jobS! all the best getting back into the swing of things :)
ReplyDeleteDouble congrats Heidi on both jobs. I might have to pick up a part time job as well pretty soon and I'm a bit nervous about that as well so I now how you feel. The first week is the toughest but then after that you get everything down.
ReplyDeleteCongratualtions! It is a good move, and as you wrote, it will end of being GOOD!
ReplyDelete:)
Congrats & good luck on your new job! I'm sure once you've adapted to the new job environment, you will get back to your usual blogging routine. It's OK to blog less cos life is not all about blogging! I only post like, 3 new posts a week and I'm not able to drop 300 entrecards like some people do, sorry about that, but I've got a life! : )
ReplyDeleteAs long as you continue to blog every week, it's fine with me!
Congrats. I'm sure that you'll make it all work quite well. I've enjoyed reading your posts and get notification via Google Reader whenever you post.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
good for you congrats we understand why you have to work times like this we really need to work harder for our families good luck to your new job i hope you have a blast! take care
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your new jobs! It's natural to be nervous about beginning something new, and I can't imagine starting two new jobs at the same time! But, you'll be great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Heidi,
ReplyDeleteAnyone who comes across as warm, genuine and smart as you through blogging will have no problems accomplishing anything that comes your way. We'll miss your posts on a regular basis, but everyone must GROW. :-) Have fun!
I think working moms are some of the hardest and nicest people to work with...they just are. They have excellent work/life balance which automatically makes a better employee.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your Mom's looking after your kids so you won't need to worry about them.
You will be fine
Congrats on the jobs, that sounds fabulous!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation on your new job! I know you can do it smoothly. It is just on the first-3 hours or a day adjustment I guess. and I'm gonna miss you here!:) I know you are physically absent here but mentally present to think on us..heheh!:)
ReplyDeleteGo girl..you can do it!:)
Enjoy the weekend!:)
Congratulations on the new job! I know you'll be a smashing success. Your frequent posts will be missed. I love all the information you write, as I am trying to live healthier, too. I'm glad for you, that you're able to have family care for your girls. :) God bless you in your new venture!
ReplyDeletei got a job too after arriving in this country for 2 months..it is very part time though...3 hours a day but it is very good, i like it and pays good and fixed monthly.. congratulations to you. i start on monday. ^^
ReplyDeletewow, congrats on your new job Heidi. I am happy for you, I wish you very well on your new job too, I am positive you'll do well.
ReplyDeleteabout blogging, i believe you can balance it too, maybe not just posting everyday. i too have full time job, yet i still blog :) it is nice, like what you said, for blogging allows us to meet a lot of people we may have not met and allow us to also learn a lot we may have not learned. And allows us to share the experiences of others we may have not experienced.
again, wish you very well on your new job.
Congratulations on your jobs! It sounds like a great opportunity for you and I'm wishing you all the best!
ReplyDeletegood for you heidi. good luck ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Sounds very exciting! I have an interview on Monday for a part time work from home position. I'm not nervous about the interview, but am definitely nervous about the job. I know exactly how you feel!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck and I look forward to hearing about your endeavors.
Good luck, Heidi! Being in a new environment can be a great way to keep the creative juices flowing!
ReplyDeleteYou do a great job here, and I'm sure that won't change a bit! ;)
you go, girl. i know you'll be able to do it! they're both lucky to have you...
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the jobs.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you are one of the recipients of yet ANOTHER Brillante Award from my blog!
ReplyDeleteDon't feel like you have to choose another 7 people or anything! Just relax and enjoy it! ;)

ReplyDeleteGlad you are making positive changes to your life, however, sad that you have to work so hard. But that's where opportunities are to be found - among the things we have to work at. Unfortunately, nothing is easy. I'm surprised that you can post three times a week and till work so many hours.
I have tried to view your blog on a number of occasions, however, it always keep me out - a message reads for invited guests only. Is it your intention to have invited guests only to read your blog, or is this something you're not aware of? The only way I can access you site is by following a link from another site. Weird problem.
Happy trails.
Best of luck, Heidi. If you apply the same energy, attitude, kindness, and knowledge to your new position as you do with this blog, then you should have no problems at all.

Is It Just Me?
congratulations, hope to read more of your blog
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the jobs!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I first started my business 5 years ago, I had to pick up a couple of part time jobs a few months into me running my business....talk about having to swallow my pride!
Having to go from enjoying working at home to going right back into the rat race was a little tough...but I got used to it really quick.
You got to do what you got to do.
Hey, maybe one day your blog will be able to support your family and then you and your husband won't have to work!
Good luck Heidi!

Best wishes in your new jobs Heidi...if you put the same effort into these jobs as you do your blog you will make an amazing employee!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll miss your visits but we all have to do what we have to do...that is why I stopped dropping EC's...
Hope you have fun while you work Heidi...
Cheers Heather
