Many of you may know that I had returned to full time work after one full year of staying home with the kids. I really thank God for providing me with a job so quickly in the midst of such bad times in the economy. The family took a while to adjust to the new routines. No more sleeping late ( till 7.30am) but all of us must be ready to leave the house at 7.15am else Ariel and Elkan will miss the school bus. My heart aches whenever Elkan complained about waking up so early. And also when I had to force Kyla to finish her homework before she can go to bed every night.. As there will be no more luxury of waiting till the next morning to finish them..
My new job is demanding and I would be mentally drained by the time I dragged myself out of the office.. Hubby is very understanding and he made a point to pick me up from work every day so that I need not take the public transport back.. He has also offered to take over some of the housework so that I will not feel so stretched.. Thank God for providing me with such as a supportive life partner.
A new development came last week when the poly that I was teaching part time asked me to join them as full time staff.. After much praying and thinking, I decided to give it a go.. Retailing is probably not a sutable career for mothers who have kids.. You are on “duty” as long as the stores are open.. In fact, colleagues from stores sometimes call me as late as 11pm to ask me about work stuff. And so I opted for the teaching job as it will have more stable working hours. Do pray along with me, that whatever decisions I make, will be pleasing to God and be within His will for us..
