I'm no longer a F/T working Mom!!!

... just a P/T working mom from now on! Chat Icon

These past few weeks, we tossed around a few ideas- i was thinking of extending my leave for a while and thinking about other different options. Before DD came along, i would've sworn that i'd always work FT. I figured i'd take leave and then just go back to business as normal, but its amazing how that all changes and your priorities completely shift once they come along! Chat Icon I would never just stop working completely, but knew i didn't want the schedule i had before DD. I spoke with my Mgr and they created a p/t position for me!! I still have to go back there F/T for a few weeks, but then i'll be P/T from then on.

AND... the best part is that we get to completely dodge the daycare bullet b/c i'll still be working nights, and only have to work 3 nights out of every 14. So, DH will be with her then, but since it's only a few nights, its also not compromising my time with DH.

After so much debating the last few weeks, we're really happy with how it all turned out!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I am so jealous! You are in the perfect field for P/T work. Plus, they must really love you to have created a new position to keep you. That's awesome!

Maybe I can meet you and Abby more often for lunch now. Chat Icon
