Part-time Employee

This week I am back to working part time! It has been a rough few weeks. I have been battling fatigue, exhaustion, and loneliness. I have been grateful my kids are both healthy. Mostly I have just been tired and sore! But now I am trying to give extra attention to my children and recover. I feel a little overwhelmed with my to-do list this week. I just keep putting one foot in front of the other!

New Resort!

Yesterday and today I spent the day at the new resort! Working, learning, and getting to know my team. Oh my I am tired! Another 6 day work week. And yesterday I worked all day on Mother's Day. So I have been sure to be extra-fun from 4:30pm-9pm with my girls.....then it's back to waking up for work at 5:45am. How crazy!

I don't like that I don't get anything done during these crazy work weeks. But I love the feeling of accomplishment when I see my income in our bank account and know that we are making ends meet because of my hard work!!!! What a feeling of accomplishment. I am providing for my kids.

I just love my girls. They are finally asleep in their rooms, and I guess I had better do the same! Tomorrow morning is another full day of training.

Exhaustion

Yesterday and today were days of exhaustion. Working 5AM to 2PM in a new job, and picking the kids up from child care and caring for them alone all evening while my husband works. I am headed to bed at this time, as I have been up since 4:00 in the morning! I drove to work in the moonlight.

Today was my youngest daughter's 6 month birthday! I covered her in kisses all evening long. I think this weekend we will have to have a little celebration combining her milestone with Mother's Day!

My kids are the best thing that ever happened to me. I am trying not to be frustrated with my exhaustion, because it will get better. And they are worth it! I love my husband and daughters.

Tomorrow is another long day at work, so time to rest and re-charge. I sure miss my babies!

Day of FUN!

Today was my day off! I spent the entire day with my kids. I soaked up every hug, kiss, cuddle, and laugh. Yes! These are the days that make life so worth it.

We went to Fort Wilderness and my oldest rode the ponies. We ate lunch, walked all over, played on the playground, and laughed. Thank you, Lord, for my girls!!!

I am so glad I had the day with them. The great thing about working some days of the week is that it makes the days with the kiddos more sweet. If I had not been longing for this day, it would not have been quite so precious.

I love my daughters. I love being their mom.

Week One: Complete!

Week one of training is now officially complete! Whew! 5 long days of learning everything I can about working the front desk at a Disney resort. I can even exchange foreign currency now!

I missed my children SO much! I love every second I get with my sweet little girls. I am so glad to have two days off now to give them all the snuggles I possibly can. It sure makes breastfeeding easier too, to be with my baby all day!

I am blessed to have my girls and my husband, and a job, even thought it doesn't pay as much as I'd like!

Now it is time to zone out and watch a show and get some sleep. The girls will be up early with lots of energy whether I'm ready or not. :)
