My new job!

As most of you know, I have gotten myself a job!

A couple months ago I decided that I wanted to start working, but I didn't really want to work nights or weekends because I would never see Jeremy. So, the most natural thing that came to mind was to become a substitute teacher. That way, Jeremy and I would pretty much have the same hours, same schedule and what would be better than a job that had summers off?! 

So I looked into what I had to do to accomplish this and it was quite simple! Since I have a college degree with enough credits, all I would have to do is complete a 2-day workshop. So, a couple weeks ago I did just that. Workshop done and paperwork in hand, I took Jeremy to work one day with plans to run errands and hand in my application to get put into the system as a substitute teacher. In doing so, I passed (as I do often) a little daycare that has always caught my eye. I had called them in the past, inquiring about any job opportunities but they didn't have any. As I drove by them that day I had another though that I should call them again, just to see. So I did - and they had a spot open - in their infant room. Uhm, what could be more perfect for me?! Nothing is the answer : ) So I asked for an interview and had high hopes that my husband would be in support of this. Of course he was. He could see the excitement building inside of me and really wants nothing more than for me to be happy and feel "fulfilled" (not that I'm not being his wife and homemaker). So, I had my interview and spent 10 minutes in the infant room to see if it was what I was expecting and something that interested me. Of course it was. So she asked me if I could come back the next day to work in there for an hour and get a feel for things. It was wonderful! They have a great system going and the most adorable little ones. And, for a perfect ending, I was offered the job right then and there! One concern that I had was working through the summer, while my husband was off. So, I sat down with my soon to be boss. In my first interview I told her how we were from NY and how Jeremy was a teacher, so I just voiced my "concern" that we have plans to go visit family in the summer and even Christmas time and how we have family come to visit. I didn't want to be that person that asked for time off if it was going to be frowned upon.  But just like the rest of the story, her answer was perfect. She was totally understanding and I can take time off as long as I give them a little heads up so that they can find people to cover me! You're looking at, or rather reading about a workin' woman! Monday through Friday from 1:30pm - 6:30pm! So, although I had other plans to become a substitute teacher, I am SO thankful that the Lord had me bring Jeremy to work that day, notice (again) that cute little daycare, put the thought in my head to call them and to have the perfect job waiting for me! God is good!

Wish me luck on my first day! :D

P.S. Marvelous Monday will become Terrific Tuesday : )
