My hours at work have been cut again, but that’s really ok with me. Right now I’m on the schedule for about 23 hours. When I saw how much my hours had been cut, I tried to get irritated about it, but quite frankly, I just couldn’t muster up any frustration. I’m hoping to start school with the kids on Monday, and I think it will be nice to have a little more time at home to make school actually happen and be successful.
I’m learning a lot about myself and people in general at my job. For many years I’ve wished I could go back to working outside the home again, because I remember it being something I really enjoyed before I was married. But now that I’m getting a chance to try out that idea, I’m thinking that maybe it’s not such a bad thing to just stay at home and run the household, and let Michael go out and work in the outside world. Having said that, I do still enjoy the chance to go do something quite different from my home life. The time flies, and when I get my paychecks, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. I’m actually contributing real money to our debt snowball, and that’s amazing. So far I’ve earned about a thousand dollars to pay down our debt. We’re knocking that bad bill right out of the park. I can’t wait until it’s all gone.
