Keeping me humble

Recently I have encountered some life changes. Branching out into the work force and employing a nanny have been strange and oddly freeing. I enjoy the solitude of being the sole employee in a small office and perhaps it could make me a little dizzy with power. EXCEPT... that this job carries the responsibility of a small amount of grounds maintenance. I knocked myself silly with a half full/half empty bag of garbage the first week I was here, but this morning was the real eye opener. It was clear that all six garbage cans along the shopping complex needed to be emptied and I set about the task. All six were crawling with maggots and I daresay that I have not regurgitated so much in my life. I sincerely doubt that all three of my pregnancies involved that kind of racking misery. I don't have an exceptionally weak stomach, but I wasn't prepared. It just never occurred to me. So if you are sitting at home, thinking to yourself, that Heather sure is getting above her station in life, I wholeheartedly must disagree. :0)
