Things are falling into place!

For the past year and a half, I've felt like I was treading water, barely keeping afloat, trying to figure out what the heck I was doing with my life.

Unfortunately, the escalation of problems with my ex/ father of my two kids was my turning point.  My family, who I am incredibly close to, moved to the SE Houston area about 8 months ago, but I decided to stay here, try to grow my real estate career and keep my kids close to their dad.

About a month ago, I made the decision to move near my family and start over.  I have been frantically trying to find a job, with no thought to what it might be, so that I could support myself and my kids and give us the opportunity to do better.  I have been trying to come to terms with the guilt that the kids will be far from their dad, while knowing that the emotional and mental state his is in would only continue to affect them negatively.  It's not my fault, it's not my fault....that is what my mantra had become.

After this weekend, I have the perfect job...that will let me work as a SALARIED in house real estate agent, while also earning bonuses and commissions by bringing in new business.  I couldn't have dreamed up a better job.  My intervew was at 9:30 Saturday morning and I was offered the job by 3 pm that afternoon.  I am now back home, packing up my house.  The kids are with my parents, getting signed up for soccer and school, and though it's a bit sad that I'm missing that, I am so grateful that I have such amazing support from my family.  Still not sure where we will be living, but with the way things are going, I am positive that it will work out just fine.

Now, every morning I look in the mirror and think...you're doing it!

Congratulations to you!  Please keep us posted.  I know I'm a little late noticing this post but I got curious as to how you were doing.  Good that you can stay in Real Estate.  I have placed my license on inactive status for now.  I'm working p/t as a church secretary right now which is sufficient but maybe in a year or so I will try again.  Maybe I could find something like you have.  That is awsome!  That had to be God!
