One More Mommy

Is it Thursday?

Life is getting interesting in our household in the work-life balance issue. Esposo accepted the offer to return to intern for a company the had let him go last year because they had no work for him! They offered him double the pay (which was diddly-squat before, so now he'll be making diddly), anywhere from 10 - 30 hours a week with him setting his houes, and with the potential of a full time job after he graduates in May (78 days). The full time job might pay Bumpkus.

This means Luke is going to daycare 5 days a week, which he hasn't done before, ever. We've always managed with two or three days a week, in order to save money. The money Esposo will be making each week will actually cover all the daycare costs for the week, with approximately 43 cents left over. This means that we'll be in a better position, because right now we're paying for two days of daycare which he makes no money to cover...

Esposo working 20-30 hours a week and going to school is going to send our house into chaos, because he won't be able to help out as much on weekends because he has homework. Which, he said he wouldn't be able to do as much housework, and, well, he's awful as housework, and not having Luke at home during the day will probably result in a generally neater house.

But that bathroom is never going to be finished.

And the other interesting point that happened was my boss mentioning that they're looking to fill a new position with the same title I have now but different responsibilities, and that they would consider PART TIME. <- Part time. part. time.

I have been considering whether or not I could be home full time, and that I wanted to talk to my boss about part time opportunities. I am somewhat excited about this! But I haven't talked to my boss yet.

That's the state of things right this very moment. I expect everything will change tomorrow.
