Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY - October 7 Outside my window...well, I am not looking out MY window, I am at work actually, so from my post at the front desk I see the lights of the airport. I am thinking...about how I am going to get through this week. I have 3 days of 16 hours per day at either job. I house that needs to be cleaned and much organization to papers. I am thankful...for my kids, they are so loving and forgiving. They know this is a short season in time in which mom is extremely busy. In the kitchen...I forgot to take any meat out of the freezer as I was headed out the door, but it's Football day, so it may be finger food all day. I am wearing...black slacks, white blouse, uniform you know I am creating...oh how I wish I was creating, but I plan on starting to knit and I will try my hand at dish towels. I am going...to bed...after I get off of work at 6am, I have to be at my full time job at 3pm work unitl 10pm and than to the part time job from 11pm until 7 am. I am wondering...am I crazy and just misguided. I am reading...I am failing in this category as well, I just can't seem to grasp the time. I am hoping...for a focused week, that moves quickly so my normal schedule can begin. I am looking forward to...two field trips this week, recycling center and a schooner. I am learning..that it takes alot of hard work. Around the house...clothes need to be put away, books need to organized, and we could use some dusting. I am pondering...stability. A favorite quote for today...tell me when it over One of my favorite things...cuddling int the bed with the kids when I get home from work, that one hour of sleep with them is divine. A few plans for the rest of the week: work, classes, school, A peek into my day...(Have to buy a camera0

A Second Choice

So this second potential job, pays more almost $400.00 more montly and includes great benefits, health, dental, life insurance, std and ltd, etc. The only thing I worried about was if I could do the work. This job is a production job, so time and quantiy is of the essence. I have not worked in such an environment in many moons. I have enjoyed my low key lesiure jobs with lots of down time. Remember, I am a mom of 7 at home who are educated at home. So I have spent time researching, lesson planning, and preparing. If I would chose a job that now actually takes up the entire eight hours that I am there, where in the world am I going to find time to do my planning. Also I have to consider my mental well being. Will I be able to handle the stress of being under a task master and continue to perform well at home. Unfortunately these thoughts sit behind the fact that I need to feed my family. So montegary gains trumps the rest at times. I made decision to quit the first job I had and head into training with this second job opportunity. To leave Social Security alone and stand on my own two feet. I may really fall. Winter is coming and my depression gets worst during this season. But I am okay with the decision I have made. I feel good about being an active participant in my life. I also feel good about where I am placing myself and my family. So now on to my regular scheduled programs.
