These are some flowers that we cut from our yard on Saturday. They died on Sunday. At least we got to enjoy them for the afternoon/evening, and L managed to get some photos for his class. Ah well.
Well I found out that I got the job. This is good news, since I was expecting an offer. :) This seems to be a "God thing". A month or two ago, I decided to start looking for something part time - to get out of the house, etc. Found hospital job. Interviewed hospital job. Hated hospital job. Didn't find anything else, so I took it as a sign that staying home was for me unless a social work job that I would enjoy opened up. There aren't many social work jobs at all, let alone part time ones.
So I go to the garden I volunteer at once a week (it's amazing they let me around plants, but that's another story). M, the gardener, asks me how family life is, and if I was planning on working outside the home or not. I tell him that yes, I had just re-entered the job hunt, but it was unlikely to find anything social work related. He asks me if I've ever heard of Early On. Yes, that's where most of my experience is. He says, well my girlfriend is the coordinator of Early On, and they have a position opening up. I ask if it's part time, he says he doesn't know. Later that day, we check out the website, and find out that it's part time. And the pay is good. And the hours are flexible. And the staff is laid back.
So I took the job. And it just so happens that the wife of one of L's co-workers runs a daycare.
And she's a Christian, and has been running a daycare for 28 years, and just recently had a part time slot open up. So I'm hoping that this will pan out and be the "perfect" place.
Enough prattling on with my overabundance of "ands". I'm excited, nervous, scared, but looking forward to the challenge. Thanks for all of your prayers. Please continue to pray as we hunt for a daycare and that I'll deal with the guilt I'm already feeling.

Sheri, I definitely think this sounds like it was meant to be! The job sounds perfect for you, and who knows? E may even benefit from being around a lot of kids a couple of times a week. She'll get to socialize a lot and play and have some fun. Don't feel guilty. Be excited! You're in my prayers, of course. :)
Awesome! Amberly goes through Early On for her speech. We like our worker :) Getting out will be nice, too. I hated being away from the kids, but it was a welcome break at the same time.
i'm confused- why can't you just let *e* go to that daycare? maybe i should reread this post. hmmmm.
We can put her in that daycare, but we still have to tour it and everything. I am hoping the environment fits the hype in my head. I'm hoping it'll all work out, though, and it'll be a smooth transition. :)
Congrats on the new job! I hope you and Eden both have fun on your new adventures!
