I received a tentative job offer yesterday. Shift supervisor, big career deal with my ultimate career goals in mind. Yeah I still technically have a career goal, sometimes I wonder though because parenting has taken top position again.
Anyway, like I mentioned we'd been approached about the girls. We currently have 4 other kids and we are moving. Financing is in limbo until my credit card reports correctly, but anyway we are only about a month or so from technically finalizing a purchase if the houses I want are available at the time we can offer. I'll find out next week.
My point... Is this a good idea? The job is Monday through Friday 2-10. Prime family time. Nanny is a must. Good thing, I wouldn't have to pay out of pocket because the kids actually have alternate funding for This expense. From 4-8p would be ideal. We'd have a nurse for Emilyso she'd be covered but hubby would have another set of hands.
Emily and Semira (yes I finally outted her) would benefit from the girls as well as I think the girls would benefit from Emily and Semira.
But 6 kids and a full time job? Can you, can I, can we do it?
I'm so babbling because I don't even have a realist concept of this. But I do know that our hearts, our cars, and our homes are more than willing to open. But selfishly I all of a sudden think no.
Trust in the Lord, stay organized, and obtain help. Then you can do it. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be a single mom taking care of 9 kids while working (and often traveling out of town). I have a full-time nanny and a part-time babysitter. We make it work. You can too if it is your priority.
