Starting a new adventure. Life is always changing for all of us..but this year I have made a big change, at least big for me. It was scary and exciting all at the same time!
About 8 years ago I was put on bed rest when I was pregnant with my now 7 year old. I wasn’t able to do my job so I stayed home and after my son was born I became a full time stay at home mom. 15 months after he was born we welcomed my second son to our family. I have been home taking care of them since! Last year my youngest started kindergarten and my older son was in 1st grade. I loved being able to spend the first year of their school life with each of them. Being a part of things like class parties, field trips and special days like that was such a huge blessing for me. Now my life has changed.
Starting August 29th I became a mom that works outside of the home. I am so blessed with the opportunity to start a job teaching 4 year old preschool kids. My hours couldn’t be better. I will still be able to take my kids to school and pick them up each day. I will miss the birthday lunches and some of the class parties but the opportunity to help my family financially and to take some even if its just a small amount of the burden off my husband is awesome.
I have been working for 3 months now and I still feel like I’m trying to figure it all out. I’m so in awe of all you mom’s that work 40 + hours outside of the house and still go home to take care of your family. I work 25 to 30 hours a week and definitely struggle.
I am truly blessed and thankful for the job and for my family.
