Its Personal Now

Next month looks like things are changing for me.
I will be starting a new job which entails an early morning travel to Edmonton everyday.
My husband and I are essentially going to be switching roles. He will stay at home more than I as I take on the bureaucratic logistical world of aviation from Monday to Friday.
It will be good for us financially as a household and a step up for me career wise..however..
I have to admit I am not completely excited.
The challenge for me is to stay grounded. Time management is going to be paramount to keep balance in my life. I dread the thought of becoming another desk jockey caught up in a world of mediocrity, coming home too tired to have fun with my family or workout.
I reflect on what the UBBT means to me and how it has become a valuable tool.
So far it has been easy street, working part time, my schedule has been flexible enough to shift things around week by week to suit my needs and playschool has given me extra time to train.
That is all gone now and the real test will begin.
I am scared, apprehensive, maternally guilt ridden and I don't want the downtown office tower to suck the life out of me.

This is my challenge, this is my test.

Life's about change.... I know you will find the balance to make things work. This may not be too kung fuish but my family always has to come first, do not feel guilty with the chooses you have to make to make things work.
Good luck with the new job!
