I know it has been quite some time that I haven't posted anything. I have been taking blogging boot camps and seminars to make sure I make this the best it can be. I love that I started this blog but I know that it wasn't all it needed to be.
On top of that I have exciting news... I have also taken some time away because all the schooling I told you guys about in my post College and Babies, paid off. I am ecstatic to say I am a full time working mom. I got a job at my local Cardiology Specialist Office here that is affiliated with one of our local hospitals.
To say the least it has been extremely hard juggling a work life, bettering my blog life, fixing a marriage that was, to say the least, in a rough patch and falling apart, a mom life, and keeping our home tidy and in one piece.
Working has been amazing I get out of the house, I have an office to myself, even though it's work I get quiet time away from the screaming of kids, because I work at a medical office I get free lunches so it saves us some money. The main thing I love is the benefits. My son is doing much better with his speech thanks to a wonderful daycare and daycare owner is the best!
My marriage has been better because I am not stuck in the house with my only conversations being with a 5 year old and her imagination HAHA. I am also bringing in more money and we are not aggravated from struggling and living paycheck to paycheck with only enough money to make it by we have that little extra bit for fun things and able to start crossing off our need's and wants lists.
But, with all these fabulous things there are downfalls... BUM BUM BUUUUUUM. Sorry dramatic effect.
I have only had 1 half paycheck and 1 full paycheck from my job, so of course our bills are backed up and slowly being caught up. As great as daycare is and helping my kids SOOO much it does cost a lot to have 2 children in daycare and this is the most affordable, wonderful, clean in-home daycare I have seen and my kids LOVE the owners and her family because her family helps her out with the daycare.
The daycare (mind you I said most affordable) costs us $1,000 a month. Which is a great price especially considering it is clean, safe, and amazing people work there who truly love and care about the children when there was a place that was an academy was $875 per child, with over $500 extra in costs. My son being ADHD and extremely hyper he did not have the behavior skills to go there.
It has been a struggle being away from my babies, it's been a struggle to pay bills for right now because all jobs cost you in the beginning but pay off as time goes on, I love my job, I won amazing Younique pigments from one of those online parties so definitely do that if you have the chance, I have so much more for you guys thank you for those who have been patient with me :D
Oh yeah and I dyed my hair black! Why.? The red was so gorgeous!! Yes, unfortunately my job doesn't approve of those bright colors on hair so I had to change it. Career Career Career and helping my family was a sacrifice I was willing to make :)
