I’ve been thinking… August 31, 2007
Most women would agree child rearing is hard, some women avoid having children because they fear how they will raise their children. I will admit that it is quite a challenge raising two kids, even with a wonderful husband who is a great father.
William will be starting kindergarten next week and I have to admit that I am feeling a little apprehensive about this. I believe that William will thrive in school, he is more social then Chris and I put together (which is quite uncomfortable for Chris and I at times, especially in social gatherings. He draws way to much attention to us), he has a great personality and will most likely be very popular. I love it when he shows his thighs to people and says look at my muscles! Like I said great personality.
I had this interview this week for a research position employed by Covance, a great company with lots and lots of benefits. The hours are during the day and most likely Monday through Friday. This is going to take a lot of my mommy time up and we would most likely have to put Briana in day care. We have come to a decision to not have any more kids (things could change, I never know what God brings), any who, I really don’t want to miss Briana in these tiny years and I really want to be involved in William’s schooling even though it’s public school (even more of a reason to stay involved). I want to be apart of PTA meetings and parent day. I want to continue bringing Briana to story time at the library, I want to be there for them. I only have this time now and I want to take advantage of it.
I am left contemplating my next move, work for a really great, resume’ boosting, company or stay home and get a part-time job at a coffee shop or grocery store (which I am by no means to good for, I love coffee shops) and stay home and be involved in two of the best kids in the world. I am not sure what my hourly pay would be at Covance but I am pretty sure it’s more than enough, plus did I mention the great benefits (medical, stock options, education, vacation pay, earned time off, etc.), what’s a mom to do??
