Change is Good, Right?

I posted a few weeks ago about some changes in my life.

Well, here it is.

I got a job.

I know.

You are probably shocked.

Despite what some people think I never wanted to stay at home forever.

I was considering school to become a physical therapy assistant and did get accepted into the program, however, as summer went on I just wasn't feeling it.

If I'm not feeling something 100% I'm not going to do it and I'm especially not going to spend a lot of money on something I'm not quite sure of and the school isn't cheap.

They will hold my seat up to 2 years if I change my mind.

I randomly started looking for part time administrative assistant jobs in July.

It isn't easy to find them, most are 40 hours a week and the part time ones I was finding were 30 hours a week.

I wanted something that wasn't anymore than 20 hours.

Then I found it.

I was looking about once a week at the available jobs at a local university and not really seeing much, it is a very small school.

Then one day it was there.

Administrative Assistant, 15-20 hours a week.

What???

I immediately sent my resume in.

I received a call about 2 weeks later.

I scheduled an interview, which went really well and about a week later received a call to come in a 2nd time.

I was so nervous.

I wasn't sure if it was to come in for a job offer or a 2nd interview.

It was a 2nd interview, but I also knew I had the job from the way she worded things, they were just waiting on checking the rest of my references.

Two days later I received a phone call and was offered the job.

I'll be working anywhere from 15-20 hours a week, no more than 20 hours and sometimes less than 15 hours.

It is the perfect job for a mom who wants the best of both worlds.

It also helps that Davis will be in preschool so I won't feel so bad.

On the days he is at preschool he will attend the maximum of 5 hours a day.  The preschool is only 3 hours, but they offer extended days for up to 5 hours each day.

The other two mornings I work I will drop him off at my mom's, who lives within walking distance of my job and pick him up a few hours later when I'm done.

I'm excited, nervous and excited!!!!
