My new job

So it's not so bad. The worst part is trying to figure out what to do when. I feel like I have already been working 40 hours a week between the kids, the doula business, and my LLL group. For the WIC job, I have had to push aside much of the second two just to get 20 hours a week in. My kids of course come first, so whatever doesn't get done, just doesn't get done!

Is it worth it? Yes and no. It is definitely worth it for the $$ because I no longer have to worry about it from paycheck to paycheck. And the consumerism bug doesn't bite you so hard in the ass when you have work to do. No, because I feel like I am spending much of my time making up for the fact that mommy is working to my kids.

Just today, I spent 5 hours in training, and the rest of the day nursing Justin, because I had to make up for the fact that I left him for that long. In no way am I ready to wean my child just for a job. You would think that a place like WIC would be amenable to taking breaks to nurse, but it's more like taking breaks to pump. I guess that is more acceptable, but I just can't pump for Justin and he hates anything from a bottle.

So anyway! I like working but it will take some adjusting after being out of the work force for 3 years. Oh well live and learn.
