I posted this on my blog
I have accepted a part time job at a local Floral shop in the town where my kids go to school (25-32 hours a week). So looks like I will be a Florist/Designer again, I put myself through Collage and the University being one. There are other places that wanted to hire me. They wanted me to work Sundays and that is just plain not a function in our lives. That is God and Family day and that is how it will stay.
As for the part time job ( 9-10 hours a week) teaching at my children's school I did that interview I feel good about it. I hope to still get that job but I won't know that for one and a half to two months and I have bills to pay now. So if I do get it I believe and pray that the two jobs will work together well. Still giving me nights and Sundays with my family. Saturday well that belongs to the flower shop. If the two jobs don't work together I will have to cross that bridge at that time. From everything I have heard from the owner of the flower shop tells me she is understanding of me wanting to be with my children and me wanting to help in their education.
I also want to give a big shout out to my sister-in-law without who's love and help none of this could happen. She is the one who will be collecting my youngest every day from K-grade for me.
That part is tearing me up I will miss her excited face as she says bye to all her little friends and all the little kids telling me thank you for helping every day. I feel like I have let them down some how. I was only a room mom but I was the room mom who was there every day 15 minuets before class and 10 minuets after to make sure I could help in any way I could.
Yesterday to top it off one daughter was looked in her class room for two hours (some how four of her classmates had broken the class door and locked every one in) and she was so excited to see me after they shattered a window to get them out of the class room as the locksmith wasn't working fast enough. She came running to me yelling Mae Mae (which means mom) worried that I would be mad that she didn't come right out when school was over ( I already knew what was happening) and she was excited to see me at the same time and tell me of her adventure. I wasn't mad I was just concerned that she was ok and not cut from going out a broken window.
My middle daughter had some one pull the fire alarm at her school so she was scared too. As they where not sure if the school was really on fire or if it was a childish prank. Either way not good to a second grader. She was glad to see Mae too and knew she was safe.
The third was trying to loose her second tooth, in our house that can mean lots of blood because of VWD ( Von Willenbrands Disease similar in concept to hemophilia). So she had blood on her hands all over her face and was scared because she saw her reflection. I finished removing the tooth from her and cleaned her up and stopped the bleeding so she wasn't scared any more. Then to see her excitement afterward that hey the tooth fairy is coming tonight. From scared to happy in all on 10 minuets. Now I have to miss some of this and all the children at their schools who I have helped every day. Sadness and lack of sleep don't even come close to describing me right now.
At the same time I am excited about working again and the interaction with people and all that brings just a little ball of emotional nerves I guess. New job starts in four hours wish me and my family luck and love that we can get through these changes as all my children have ever known is Mom is always there home, school, church, any where and now that isn't the case.
I wanted to thank all my readers who sent well wishes and thoughts and encouragement it has meant a lot to me.
There is an easter lily on my blog I didn't post the photo here so this last part is a little confusing with out that knowledge)
The Easter Lilly on this page came from my youngest daughters teacher at school as a birthday present to me. An Easter lily a symbol of Christ and all he has done for us and how he knows all our pains and of rebirth. I will leave this post thinking of that.
there I added the lily
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

Hey Sunshine, wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. I hope some of the anxiety has passed now and you are adjusting to the changes. It's very hard to be a full time "domestic engineer"  and then have to shift gears!!.
Sending (((((big hugs)))) and encouragement to you!! We never know what life's plan is (at the time) but it always seems to lead us down new paths that enrich our lifes and build even more character.
(((hugs)))

Sunshine,
hope all works out for you. I am sure your girls will be fine and they will have lots to share with you about the goings on at school at the end of the day. I too just started a part time job but my children are all grown and I am enjoying grandchildren now. I am happy to spend whatever time I can with them. Keeping it all in prayer for your jobs to work out in whatever way is best for you.

Hi Sunshine,
Thanks for posting about your new job; I hope your new schedule works out easily for you and that your family can adapt to the changes. Hopefully you'll get caught up financially and be able to drop one or both of the jobs and get back to helping out at the school again. Those other kids at the school are going to miss you, too.
Good luck, and post when you can.
Jo

Sunshine, you know you are the best kind of Mom there is. I do hope we get to see you here in between all the craziness. You are an artist who brings joy to everyone who sees your work. But above all, a Mom.
love,

Sunshine- I am so glad you found such a wonderful job that will help you and your family through this difficult time. I am so sorry that staying at home was not longer an option for you. I know how difficult that can be. I hope this is just a little bump in the road and you can get back to where you would like to be as soon as possible!

It never gets easier-the mom thing! I was broken when I had to go back to work when my youngest son was in high school!!! I wanted to be there with a plate of cookies when he walked in the door!!! I have no words of advice! Just lots of love and hugs!!!!!!
