I made it through the first week

I just made it through my first week of work. It was much better than I thought it would be and I am so glad. It is very hard adjusting to a long work day away from home and I do miss my kids and husband so much. But, I was pleasantly surprised and blessed by the great people in my office and by very encouraging boss. I know that it was all made possible by God and I also was very blessed by my husband doing such a great job taking care of our children at home and running the house so well. Thanks Mike! I love you! I am glad that he is staying home with them for at least these first few weeks. It feels like a smaller step to take and easier for me than having to take them to day care and worry about that all day. I hope that next week will be even greater!

I'm going to work!!

Well, after a couple of weeks of applying for jobs and praying for the right opportunity God has blessed me and my family with a job for me to do. I was interviewed and offered a job today with Wells Fargo Bank. I used to work for them a few years ago so it will be familiar to me and the branch is fairly close to home so I won't be driving far. I think it will work for me, it will be a very big adjustment to go back to work and balance my family and a job. I have a week to get ready and get organized before I have to start. I really want to feel like I am organized and ready to go. I am excited and also scared so I will be praying for an easy transition.

Job Hunting

It is a little strange looking for a job after not working for over three years now. It is scary and exciting, but right now it is what I need to do. I have an interview today and possibly some other interviews soon. I sometimes forget to be confident in my abilities since it has been awhile since I have been working. I just hope to find a job that is not too stressful and possibly even fun. It may seem a little funny, but one of my biggest worries is that I don't have much in the way of working clothes anymore. I really weeded out my closet over the past couple of years, especially after having two children. I need to work on adding to my professional wardrobe if I am going to be in an office again. My standard every day dress code of jeans and t-shirts (and sometime pajamas) will not work for me if I get a job. God will provide for me and my family even if it is not what I would have as my first choice right now.
