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.
It is not the destination that matters, but rather "The Journey." Welcome to our voyage.

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.
