I'm settling in nicely at my job now. After being at this institution in a full-time big-girl position for about four months, I really feel like I'm a member of the team. Of course, I also feel like a bit of an outsider at times, but that's usual. I'm quite happy that I will be at this job for a while and am given the opportunity to spread my wings and do what I want. I just finished presenting at AAAL with a co-worker and have been given the room to pursue my interest of aboriginal librarianship. I will be meeting with fellow librarians with an interest in aboriginal librarianship in the next few weeks and may even get the chance to mentor a former class-mate in the area as well. I am very excited about this and it livens up an otherwise slow period at work where I wait for the new term to begin and an increase in library classes.
Silas had his 18-month check up earlier this month and it seems like he is just fine, but behind on his speech. I knew this. I will be calling soon to set up an appointment with a speech pathologist. Although I wanted to strangle him yesterday when he was sick and fussy and completely naughty, he really is a sweet boy and I wish I could hear all the stories I know he's begging to tell me. Today I sat on the floor instead of the couch and he was so happy to have me on his level. He brought me books to read and toys to play with and he wanted me to get into the cardboard box with him and it was absolutely adorable and highlights many of the reasons why I am happy to be a mom. I just wish he'd speak. He can say hi and bye bye with hand waves. It is precious.
I'm just selfish and I want more.
