Hi Ho...Hi Ho...

It's Off To Work I Go........


Tomorrow morning bright and early I will head out to my new job.  It feels strange to type this.   I guess that's why I have put off blogging about it or maybe it's because I was hoping that if I didn't write about it it wouldn't happen.  The last time I worked was about 5 years ago.  I did it for a year to help raise money for our adoption.  Other than that I have pretty much been a stay at home mom since Madison was born.  


I don't mind working.  I have nothing against it really, I just love being at home.  The biggest problem I have with working is that Sophie is 3.  It is such a cute age and I hate to miss any of it.  The other issue is Madison.  He is a Senior and this will be his last year at home and I hate to miss out on any opportunities to be with him since they are few and far between.  I have to compete for his time with his job, friends, school and Kaitlin.  Now I'm working too.  It's going to be rough.


Even though I am dreading this new role of "working mom", I can't help but acknowledge God's hand in it.  It really is a blessing.  When Camden and I began discussing me getting a job there was certain criteria that had to be met in order for it to be beneficial for our family.  This job not only met that list but has exceeded it in many ways and the timing has worked out perfectly.  


I'm going to work at the airport and my official title is Communications Specialist.   The job actually seems pretty interesting.  I have spent the last 2 months going through pretty rigorous testing.  There was drug tests, background checks, fingerprinting.  I had to take a psychological profile that had 429 questions on it.  The absolute worst was the polygraph test.  I was told it was fun and interesting to see how it is done.  WRONG!  It was a horrible experience and I almost told them to  "take this job and shove it!" before I even started.  I've gone through customs twice in my life in countries that were considered "socialist."   That was a breeze compared to the polygraph test and I had nothing to hide!  I kind of feel sorry for criminals now.


All that being said, tomorrow I will head out of my house on a new adventure.   Praying each day for God's grace to show me how to manage all the things I am now responsible for.


"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will recieve an inheritance from the Lord as a reward."  Colossians 3:23-24.
