A new role for me

I will be working... for the first time in a very long time! I will be starting a new part time evening job starting on Sunday!

J has always been the one to work while I stayed home with the kids. He has always worked multiple jobs for this to happen!! Somethings have changed in our financial status and J is now just working one job, so this is why I will be working. He wants a break from work and I think I want to take a break from being home with the kids 24/7!!! Still not really sure how I feel about it to be quite honest.

I am really excited to take on this challenge. It is a challenge for me to give up being home, physically going to work, doing well on the job, missing family functions, missing my kids' sport activities... missing a lot! It will be a challenge for both J and I. I don't think he really knows how challenging it can be to have to run this kid here, be back to pick that kid up from there, meet so and so here and so on, all by myself! I also don't know what it feels like to hear him call me while I am at work to tell me how crazy and stressful the kids are being, him telling me how well Miss Spitfire did at her game or to tell me what cook-out they have planned to go to on that day. I have no idea...

So as we embark on this new journey with our new roles, I only hope it is a great transition for our kids and makes a difference for our family. I am staying super positive about it all, it just makes me a little nervous with each passing day. Hopefully the nerves will subside and I will just be happy to get out and be a financial contributor to my family :)

Please keep us in your prayers for the weeks to come as we make the transition and that this new role is really better for all of us!!
