How are you?
| Its 1am and I am working, now, fulltime as a RN with moms and babies. I have been a nurse over 10 hears, but haven't had the need to work in the real world as a nurse b/c of my wonderful husband. In the last year, I tried a home-based business, and my massage business all but dried up the last few years, since I do not take insurance. So, with Dave Ramsey's help and some Christian financial counselors, we chose to have me go back to work. Thankfully I have had my education and could put it to use. It was an arduous 3 months. I am so grateful for a friend who took my kids to a public school homeschool coop for the 3 months of my training. I started nights, 3 nights (12 hour shifts) per week. Unfortunately, that put a lot of strain on our family, with the coop, so we chose to bring the kids home, and we do school when we can. In this season, its about being accountable to the Lord, and getting out of some debt that has been on our back for too long. My two wonderful kids, dd and ds are 10 and 7, thankfully. So we do as much or as little as I have stamina for. I am considering doing another coop next year, that is close to home, and private; with no ties to the public school. I am praying that the Lord gives me a change in my schedule, so I don't work Monday until 8 than have school at 11:30am-3pm. I am so grateful for my wonderful friends who have supported me during this time. My husband and I have had some pretty terrible discussions, and have grumped at my kids over this need to be out of the home. But the Lord is sovereign and oh so good, that he saved me from myself, and continue to pray His grace on us daily! If there are other moms who work 30+ hours or more, I have an idea to begin writing a book of those of us that do. It would be awesome if you could email me privately @ jeripleticha@hotmail.com, to give me your story of balance, and how you get what you can done. As well as how God's graced you in this time of work and homeschooling. Plus a detailed list of a daily/weekly/monthly schedule as it applies to your family. Home based work is ok, but would really like to know about those families having homeschooling parent working outside home. Thanks, grace to you today! |
