I got a job!

I wasn't really even looking for one.  Gage goes to PT at this wonderful pediatrics clinic.  I know several therapists that work there, and they all love it.  Last week, I noticed they posted 2 open full-time OT positions on their Facebook page.  I am not at all interested in going to work full-time, but I have said that when I was ready to work again, my first resume was going to this clinic, even if they weren't looking.  I decided to email and see if they wanted a part-time OT, thinking the answer would be "we really need full time" and that would be that.

That's not what happened.  I got a call back from the boss-lady asking when I could come in for an interview.  I think I expected things NOT to work out and I could go along knowing it just wasn't the right time.  So, last Wednesday I interviewed while Gage was in PT.  Before the interview I was anxious and on the verge of tears.  WHY was I doing this? I didn't want to WORK!!  What was I thinking???  After the interview, I couldn't wait to start!  It sounds like a perfect fit for me.

I told her when I wanted to work and she said that was fine.  I will be working twice a week.  One day Tony will be able to be here with the kids.  The other day, they will be going to the home of a homeschooling family to be watched by their teenage daughter!  There are 4 kids at home.  One is Gage's "best friend" who is about 10, and the youngest is a little girl who is just a year and 1/2 or so older than him.  I think they are going to have a ball. 

I'm looking forward to this season in life.  I was not unhappy staying home all week with my kids.  I do not feel unfulfilled as a stay-at-home mom.  I do love being an OT, though, and look forward to getting my rusty skills to work again.
