My new job as sahm (stay-at-home mom)

This was my first week as a sah mom. Just like staring a new job, I come to this position with excitment, visions, and passions. I have sooo many things I want to do with the boys and my extended family, and so many things to straighten out. I hope I get to accomplish them all. Aside from taking care of the boys, I am going to look after my grandfather by visiting him and be his maid once a week. I am going to home school Caleb on days that he is not at Preschool. Of course cooking and cleaning is a must, but I also set out goals for myself so that I hopefully won't waste time.

Yesterday I got to spend some time with two other sah moms. On the drive home I realized that I am actually working at home. Something I thought I am not good at and can't afford to do. But funny how God led me to this place at this time. I am thankful that I get to be home with the boys in this day-and-age where double income is a must and we can still live in Castro Valley. Even though I cannot stay home long term, I am grateful for any amount of time with the boys.

That's the end of it

Well, it turns out that I didn't like my new job. I didn't like the integrity of the clients and of management. The only two things I did like was the location and pay. Maybe God is trying to tell me something. When I quit EY, my intension was to stay-at-home, but part of me didn't really want to stay home for various reasons (finance being one), so I just took the first available job that came to me. No wonder it didn't work out. So maybe for this period in time I should wait on the Lord to provide and be at home with my kids.
