I'm Going Back To Work!

Well, it's official; I went and spoke with my old boss at Caretaker and I will be working there again! I am only doing part-time (Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday), but they will be full days (8am-5pm).

I'm a little worried about waking up so early again. I will have to wake up at 5am to leave the house by 6:30. Yes, it takes me 1 1/2 hours to drive from here to the babysitter's house then to work. Ugh! That will be tough, too.

I am doing it mostly for money (he let me name my price!) and for Andrew to be able to get out of the house for awhile. Andrew loves to go to Randi's house (Jeremy's cousin) so he's really excited.

Also, the jobs I will be doing are great! I was worried they would want me to be the back-up person which means, cover the receptionist desk, file, mailings, all the crap work. But, I will actually be an assistant to my old assistant (who is now the Accounting Director, she took over after I left). I will be in her old office with her current assistant Christina. I will be producing financials, doing collection letters, doing deposits. Really easy stuff that doesn't involve much speaking with customers! Yay!

It'll be tough for us to wake up so early, but hopefully we will adjust quickly. I will have 3-day weekends and a break on Tuesday, so it shouldn't be too bad!

I originally quit that job because the drive was too far and I didn't really need to work for money. Jeremy had a lot of overtime, at the time, that covered our bills and our spending habits. Now that he doesn't get much overtime we are occasionally hurting for extra cash. I also quit to have more kids, but since that hasn't happened, I figured I'll go back until I do end up having another baby (whenever the heck that'll be).

I'm a little worried that my house will fall apart, though. I have such a routine each week of cleaning, laundry, etc. The dishes are ALWAYS clean and the house is tidy every single night before bed. I've become quite anal about this as I considered this "my job." I hope I'll be able to handle the untidyness and the dishes in the sink for a day or two... I will also have to go back to cleaning the house and doing laundry in one day rather than spacing it out over two days (unless I want to spend my weekends cleaning and doing laundry both days; NO THANKS!).

I'll keep you posted on how things go!
