New job starts on Monday

It's my last weekend before the new job starts.  I'm worried about the new frontier that I'll be heading into.  It's not as if I've never held a full time job before; however, I haven't worked full time in almost 15 years....I worked MORE than 40 hours a week as a mother, wife, and employee.  I've held part time jobs for the past 15 years, and have been able and fortunate enough to have worked around my children's school schedules, including having most summers off, so that I could stay home with them.  It was a joy and a privilege to be their mother.  Now, however, it's time for their mom to start doing some things for just herself.  Being a full time student and going back to college was a huge step for me.  A step that I am fully proud of, and thrilled that I'm doing as well as I'm doing with that endeavor.  I am sure that I will do the same with this new one as well.  I've always been a survivor, and that's just what I'm doing, surviving, and making the best of what I've been given.  It just gets to me, though, that at this time in my life that I HAVE to do these things.  I didn't ask for this lot, but I've been given it, and I will succeed, because I have to and because I want to.  I have never been one to do things half way, and this is no different.  If I can't give my best effort to it, then I shouldn't be doing it anyway.  So, I'll say it again, "Look out world!  Here I come, and just watch me be better than anything that my ex says that I would be"!
