New job and New Adventure

For the past few years I have worked on a VERY part-time basis at our church in the Nursery and 2 year old class. I taught every other week, cleaned toys, cleaned rooms and organized the curriculum. It was a great job,I could bring my kids with me and I loved doing it. My good friend Richelle was my boss overseeing all of the preschool ministries in the church, this fall Richelle took a teaching position at her school. This meant her position was available and was offered to me. So I am now the Pre School Ministries Director (whatever that means) and working 20 hours a week.

It is the perfect job for me! The hours are super flexible, I can work from home, after hours or bring my kids with me to play. I am doing 1 full day a week sans children just to make life a little easier. Last week was the first week I left them, and while it was with my terrific friend Lori (who I trust as much as myself with my kids) I still cried the entire way to the church. It's not that I don't love my job at the church and being able to pour into children's lives, it's that I want to be with my kids all the time. However, for this season, this is best for my family and really how many other people get to say they can bring their kids to work with them. I am super blessed by this new job and super terrified (I have some big shoes to fill). I don't think leaving them will get any easier but at least I know they are in a great place being loved by my great friend.

This also means I'm closing my dayhome at the end of September. I have only had 1 little guy for awhile now but we will be super sad to see him go. He is the best kid, Vaughn and Greta truly love him and he will be missed. I thought about keeping the dayhome going but it would be too much with the job at the church and my 'real' job being a full-time Mommy to my wonderful kids.

Now that I know what my fall schedule is going to be like I've been busy filling it up . . . yep I'm crazy :)

So here is the fall (plus the gym a few nights, the church a few nights, and working for the church in the afternoon while the kiddo's are quiet)

Monday - work at church

Tuesday - 10:45 Greta's Kindermusik

Wed - 9 - 11:30 Time out for Ladies at the Church
4:45 - Skating Lessons for Vaughn

Thursday - Home with my kiddo's

Friday - Gym and/or Morning at the church

Saturday - 10:45 Kindermusik for Vaughn

I'm tired already but I know that there are fun times ahead for the Jamieson's . . . pray my house stays clean with all the mayhem about to ensue :)
