Never Say Never

I keep re-learning that lesson, years too late.

This time it's the "I will never work retail again EVER" utterance I find myself having to take back.

And wouldn't it figure, I'm liking my job at the mall. (I reserve the right to rescind that statement the morning after Black Friday.)

And I've been trying for days now to write this post in my head, to explain all the reasons why, without belittling stay-at-home motherhood, but I don't have the skill or the clarity to manage that right now. It just suffices to say that it's amazing how we can turn out to be so different from the person we once thought we were.
