I'm going to work.
Yup, it's true!
I have taken a position in the school district.
I'm very excited about it,
but still sad to be leaving behind my days as a homemaker.
We feel like God has called us to get our finances in order...
ASAP.
We don't know what adventure He has coming for us,
but we feel the need to free up our finances...
for whatever work He will call us to!
The beauty of it is that Graysen will not go to a daycare!
God had already planned two perfect people
to take care of her for us 2 days a week while Lincoln works.
(Mondays and Tues and Thurs afternoons)
It's amazing to see how God has worked all of this together,
and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what else He has planned!
I'm excited to see what people He will put in my path every day in the workforce...
I'm looking forward to the interaction with students again.
Please be praying for my family's transition...
I've got new challenges ahead of me.
How do you keep the laundry done (for 6),
have dinner on the table each night,
and find extra special time with each of your kids...
when you're a working mom?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
I know I'll figure it out,
God will equip me to do what He calls me to do!!

Ashley,
Congratulations on following God's calling. I am struggling right now to do the same because it means so much change for my family. We are comfortable right now both financially and time-wise and God is asking us to change everything.
As far as being a working mom, it just takes some practice. You will get behind on laundry and it will be ok. I would definitely recommend a crock-pot cookbook and the Fix, Freeze, Feast cookbook as well.
As a working mom of two who is always busy in the evenings with activities. It is hard but you will find a routine that works and will still find that special time with each child. I won't lie the first week or two will be rough on everyone but it will all work out. That is great that you won't have to worry about daycare at all!
I think it's a blessing that you will have your kids schedule! That will help a lot. Plus having Graysen in great hands part of the time - and with Lincoln the rest of the time- sounds like it will work out great. And hopefully you can leave your work at work and not bring it home with you - which is a benefit of the job. I think you will become adjusted fairly quickly! :)
