When I got laid off this year, I was on both sides of the field. I was so upset and nervous because I had just found out we were expecting, we had just moved into a new home (more $$mula$$) and well.. I've always been able to support my family with the income I had. At the same time, I was kind of excited for the new adventure that I was going to be able to go on for the first time in my life. Something I never thought I would have the chance to do.
Spend every day at home with my kids.
It's always been something I dreamt of. There is nothing I cherish more than being a Mom and I'm a pretty good home maker, if ya ask me. Haha. Jk. But really- I thought this was the perfect opportunity to be the woman I wanted to be and I could make a small income making bows, baby stuff, and home decor.
Well the last few months have been hard to say the least. I haven't even tried to make any bows, my sewing machine broke, and we just recently got the internet so that I can start using my vinyl machine. Haha. So the whole "making a little extra" hasn't worked out so well.
I lost my spot in the only day care that I trust with my babies. Which REALLY sucked the most out of the whole getting laid off deal. I just adore our baby sitter Jenny, and I really can't think of any other person that I would trust taking care of my kids. But after much thinking, I've decided that it is in my family's best interest for us to have another income. As sad as I am going to be... it's time to buckle down and find a job! On the list we go...
I only have {10} weeks until this little boy makes his appearance so the chances of me getting hired are pretty slim.... I'm guessing. But it's worth a shot!
I finally got a call back from a company that is looking for a receptionist. It's a 30 minute drive, which I wasn't so sure about, but the pay is great and I know it's something I would enjoy again. I have an interview tomorrow... so wish me luck!
And if I don't get the job... my plan B is to start babysitting a few kids full time.
Either one sounds good to me!! :)
