First Day on the Job

I started my new job today!  It wasn't the funnest (is this a word?) day but first days usually aren't. It was filled with paperwork and learning codes, regulations, and acronyms. Yep! you guessed it I am working for the state. I will be doing charts and filing to catch us up and then hopefully take on more responsibilities as I learn what in the world I am doing. I get really anxious when I have to learn new things and especially when they want me to know it yesterday. Also, I am still having major issues trying to get my time in (20 hours a week). We already have so much scheduled with games and practices and dr appts and swim lessons and sewing and babysitting and .... My life is going to be crazy for a while. Too bad I have to sleep or I could get it all done! I am thankful to have a job in these economic tough times where so many can't find one and am trying to remind myself it is a blessing and to work as if it were for the Lord.

“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ. —Colossians 3:23-24

Hired!!

Although I am not really sure I want another job I have one. This job kinda just fell in my lap and with today's economy I really can't turn it down even though I don't see how I am going to have time to do it. I got the job without an interview and without even turning in my application! They had me fill it in after they gave me the job! As of right now I babysit Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 8-5:30 and have ball practices, ballgames, and swim lessons almost every evening, and when we start homeschooling again that will take pretty much from 7-2 everyday, plus all the sewing I am having to do as of late (what a crummy time for my etsy store to take off). Well that leaves me with Saturdays which is fine and Tuesdays and Wednesdays which isn't what I want because I will have to find babysitters.  I was hoping to do all evenings so that Mr Railroad will be here and they will always have one of us with them. I am getting a little stressed out already and haven't even started yet!! I hope God knows what he is doing with this one because I sure don't! I will start next week so I pray I can keep my sanity and am not even going to leet myself think how I am going to keep house.
