(disclaimer: No, it's not a baby)
I cannot believe I am here at this precipice.
I am that girl, caught in exactly that moment. Where my biological clock wants a baby, my career is on the verge of blast off, where the exact right move could decide my fate. I AM THAT WOMAN who has to choose between a job success and a family, excelling in the workplace or thriving at home. Or so I am told.
Being fired forced that decision upon my life;
what I do next is pure me.
Here's the big announcement: The Harvard Housewife got a job. And let me tell you: it's kind of a dream. And the crazy thing about it --is that-- the crazy job I had before...totally prepared me for this moment. Never stop believing God has a plan for you. It is UNCANNY. I've gone from one boss whose schadenfreude appalled me! to the sweet glow of opportunity. I know some of you saw this coming.
I wish I could write more, but I've signed so many confidentialty agreements over the years that I do not think I even own the rights to my own life. Hence my uber-secrecy. I know you love it.
Here's to blogging about that transition: between being a career woman and a house woman. Because I am both. And my heart will always be at home. Even though my brain is on overdrive at work. I adore being a HOUSEWIFE and refuse to relinquish the title.
xoxo
The Harvard Housewife.

WooHoo! Congratulations! Amazing how the Lord works.
Yay!!! Good for you Harvard!! Funny how irony seems to play a part the bigger plan. Congrats, you are a blessed woman.
You get a job and start using words like precipice? What has the the housewife world come to?
Congratualtions! And remember, once a housewife, always a housewife.
Congratulations!
As for me, I never had a choice between "success or family" considering I got knocked up at 18 during my freshman year of college. And a success to me was not getting knocked up again until I was graduating.
I think if I had gone into any field other than art and education I may have done something grand... Alas, I now sit home with 4 kids, bake cookies and physically and mentally abuse my treadmill.
Go do something great!
