....Working.....

I really don't think I was ever supposed to work a 40 hour work week. The last 4 months have been the hardest 4 months of my life! Having my kids leave for school with out me and then not being here when they get home...UGH that is hard. I know that people do it everyday but not me. I have always been home when they leave and get home. Also I really didn't like my job. I guess it was OK I did not love it like I thought I would.~ and after my evaluation which I did very poorly on I decided that during Christmas break I was going to "look" for another job. Not that I thought I would find one but, none the less I would put my application in and hope and pray that someone would want me!~ Then the Tuesday before Christmas I went to Walmart to get some food and I ran into someone who works out at fitness world and she said they had hired someone for the nursery. I thought to myself ugh I could have worked there during the day again! Then another one of my friends that works at fitness world called because her son wanted to play with Seth and Sloan. She told me how they still need someone for the nursery and that I should go talk to Alicia. So I did and guess what I am working at fitness world again.! No it is not a GREAT new job but I know what is expected of me and they are good at working with me when scheduling me. I am getting 30 hours and that is great I will be making what I made a crossroads because I don't have to pay for Sloan to go with me. That is a BIG PLUS!
I worked last night in the nursery and it felt really good to be back. I had been there for 4 years before I quit to take my other job. I didn't think I would go back but it is nice to have some place that will take you back...
I think I will just stay at fitness world for the rest of my work life. Yes I am sure I will get burned out on it but who doesn't get burned out on work. No I will not be able to take the summer off but really if I had to spend all summer at home with the kids I would go CRAZY....Really, I think I would. I believe that I will be happy over all at FW. Although, I will miss the people I worked with at crossroads, I think it is really for the best.And the best thing is I will only be gone 1 afternoon a week. SO, I can be here for my kids and see them more!

Nikki,

I just want to tell you that I am proud of you! No matter where you work, if you are happy, and doing the very best you can, then that is all anyone can ask for. You seem to be more comfortable and in your own "skin" working for FW. It takes a special person to do that!
