Hello Winter

I went for my job interview on Friday and I think it went well. It’s a job working in a women’s health clinic at one of our local campuses. It would only be 2 days a week with the possibility of more hours if needed but it would be a steady pay check every two weeks. It pays a good hourly wage more than I have ever made an hour before.

I felt pretty good when I went in and was even able to answer the lovely questions of positive things about yourself and why you think you would be good for this position. You’d be amazed what being the mother of 4 children will get you with an interviewer that has kids.

I should know by Friday if I got the position and if I do I will see if my old job is still available and try for that also. I am thinking the variety and the challenge of the new job would out weigh the boredom of the other one plus it would be a 4 day a week job put together and hopefully I can handle that.

I sat and thought long and hard to choose between the option above and the full time position at the school and decided to try for the two part time jobs. Physically I am having a hard time handling what I have on my plate right now. I really didn’t want to crash and burn but knew I still have to be a monetary contributor to the household. I realized I really never had a long term full time job, of course, if you don’t count being a mom, and sure I could probably do it but at what cost.

There is a light at the end of this financial tunnel that seems to be tightening around us. I cringe every time I put more on the credit card and plunge us deeper and deeper in that hole we worked so hard to get ourselves out of but we can’t avoid it right now.

Today is a day off for all thanks to our veterans. But not for a mother we have 3 different times to go down for practices today at school and so my day is going to be spent taxi driving.

Stay warm, stay safe, feel loved.
