To Work or Not to Work

 A few months back I was working at The Hospital as a part time Unit Secretary. One day they decided to eliminate one of the shifts, which in turn pushed me down to 1 day a week and I lost my insurance. After a couple months my husband and I decided it would be best for me to stop working. It no longer was profitable for me to work there with no benefits. Well, today a former coworker emailed me to let me know they now needed a part time worker again. There is more to the story of the hospital that I will not bore you with, but bc of the story I was leery about going back or not. After talking to my closest and dearest friend Jackie about it( and of course my husband lol), I have decided to decline their offer. Some days this staying at home with the kids 24/7 is rough, but I have an opportunity to do something special and not every mom gets the chance to do. I love my kids more than anything and I want to be able to spend this precocious time with them before they grow up. I feel guilty at time staying home and I think it is because I have always worked full time, until this last position at the hospital. I am working on the feeling guilty part and I am realizing whether you stay at home or work full time, some days your kids are the best and other days not so much lol.
