Back in May I was messing with my phone, somehow found myself looking up info on Woodward Schools and saw they were looking for a secretary at the Early Childhood Center which holds pre-k-1st grade. Cody noticed me in deep thought and asked what I was thinking about. I told him I might apply for the position. He was a little shocked. He knows how much I love staying home with Jones and raising him and not a daycare, but he told me to do whatever I wanted. I applied the next day and mailed in my application and received a call 2 days later for an interview. The interview went great! May passed, Cody's helper on the ranch quit, we became busy, I was Cody's helper, June passed and I hadn't heard anything. I didn't stress about it because I knew if I didn't get the job I would be just as happy because I would still be able to stay home with my lil' man and it seemed Cody needed me more now on the ranch. I finally called sometime in July to see if they had filled the position and they hadn't. I got called for my 2nd interview a few days later and it lasted maybe 2 minutes.....not good in my mind. They called the next day saying I was hired! I was a little shocked and still had a little anxiety about leaving Jones. I had signed him up for a great preschool in town but the wait is about 1.5 years, ha! I got lucky and my friend told me she could keep him! She has 4 boys and a foster mom to a little girl. He is doing so good over there!
They live in a neighborhood with another little boy about their age and they all have a good ole' time.
I enjoy my new job and know I am up there for a reason but I sure do miss staying home with Jones, cooking, and helping Cody when he needs help. I always knew I wanted to stay him with my maybe the first couple of years but it is so hard leaving him every morning. I have no idea how mommas leave their newborns!!!!!!!!
Jones, I so hope you are enjoying this time and learning so much!
