So I thought today was just about signing papers and having a nifty little tour.
hmm.
Nope!
It was a full work day. Complete with 75 hours of filing. 100 hours of faxing and a little data entry just for good measure.
blah.
I know I know.
Shut up complaining.
But it was exciting and odd (they are SO persnickety), Chris and I had lunch together (yes he works there too).
Noah was extremely exhausted after a LONG day in daycare/kindgertaren and it made me feel VERY VERY guilty when we picked him up.
is it worth that? Is it worth not walking him to school 2-3 days a week?
Now that I know I CAN get a real job? Do I want one?
I know. I know. Trust me. Not making any hasty decisions yet. I’ll give it a few weeks for everyone to settle in.
You better NOT give that nice job back!
I guess you have to compare how the extra money helps the quality of life for your family against the fact that someone else is raising your child.
Its a tough call, Pam.
i still feel that guilt even when my kid is nearly 12. i walk her halfway to school on Thurs. and Fridays - only halfway cuz it’s not cool to be seen with your mom on school grounds.
Wow, you fit alot in on one day…just like me today, I spent 572 hours on the phone…
Same guilt here, leaving TIm with his grandma two days a week. Choices choices
Good luck!
yeah, I dont want a real job either….*sigh*
It is hard. But make the choice based on how you feel. Does it make you feel good to work? To get out of the house for a while? Are you a happier, more satisfied parent when you work? Obviously, as you say, you need to wait a bit to make those decisions, but let’s face it. If you are NOT happy completely staying at home, then you are not doing Noah any good staying home from work. Can’t wait to hear about how it’s been going with the new job the past couple of days.
