My boss approached me and asked me if I could work more hours because our work load is so high. Money wise, it has definitely crossed my mind. But then I think about my boys and no amount of money is worth it. I am trying really hard to make it work because maybe there is some sort of compromise and if there is, Im going to find it! He has always said that I can work from home but in the past I have found that to be a very difficult thing when kids need my attention or there is dishes or laundry to do. Now, working from home seems like the best plan. My sister will be home in June so I will start taking on one more day a week at the office and then set up my "virtual office" for the rest of the time. It is what I have to do and at least I will be home with my boys. That is what is most important. The best part about it is that I can do my work whenever I want to: Naptime, evenings when Andy gets home, night...etc. The bad part is that I would need a new desktop to make this a reality since the desktop we have now is slower than molases!
In a way I am excited to work more and make some extra money. I just hope and pray that it will all work out with the boys. I never want to take them to a daycare center. Not that daycare centers are bad at all...in fact there are wonderful daycare centers out there...it's just not me. Hudson will be starting preschool this year too so this wont be for forever. Just until my boys get into school. I thank the Lord that my job is needed and that my boss has offered this to me at a time when the economy is so bad. I am thankful 100% for that. I am just the type of person who has to have a schedule and a routine. Right now this plan sounds a little chaotic in my head and it is freaking me out a bit but hey...Rome wasnt built in a day, right?
