Well, it has been 4 years since all of my children were in school full time. I have to say I have gotten quite used to my 6 hours of personal time each week day :) But now that is all over for the time being. DSH is gone and now I am a single parent. So what better thing to do than to start a job the first weekday that he is gone? Granted, it is just a job being a kindergarten aid at the neighboring school, and it is a temporary job at that. BUT. . . .
I HAVE TO BE THERE WITH 2 CHILDREN BY 7:30 AM!!!
After my first day, all I can say is that I am exhausted. The Job isn't difficult, it is just that I have been running since 5;30 this morning, and I don't like it.
I know, poor me.
It is actually a blessing in disguise though. FH said that when her husband was deployed to Iraq, having a job is what kept her sane. She said that she had to get going every morning, and spent the day with her mind concentrating on something other than the fact that her husband was gone. R has also been having a difficult time with the uncertainty of our lives. He has had to go see the school social worker and the principal because he has been so upset at school. Now that I am there, he just comes to see me. So that is a good thing.
Heavenly Father is blessing us
I can second FH's advice. My husband has been gone to a long time, and these past couple months without a job has been driving me insane! 5:30 is pretty early though. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHa ha Deanna! but I second the notion...and little R can now talk to his mama instead of talking to a stranger. poor little guy. we'll pray for him.
ReplyDeleteSometimes blessings come in strange packages, but they're always just what we didn't even know we needed! You will be a terrific addition to that classroom full of little savages!
