In This Economy...

About a year ago, I found an opportunity to work weekends (Baylor = make what you make if you were working 3 12 hour shifts but only work 2 12 hour shifts, every, single weekend) in order to have more time available to our increasing family (we added a 3rd little sweetie a year ago, and after that pregnancy, do not plan on adding another since I'm really not the best preggers kinda lady!) Today I found out that I was one of the RNs who had to choose between flexi and full time. Since I need some regularity to my schedule and paycheck, I'll be going back to full time - 3 12's per week. My boys, Sam and Noah, had really gotten used to the fact that I was home during the week and that they had daddy all to themselves on the weekends. So, going back to this schedule is going to take some getting used to...maybe a social story for me to lessen the anxiety/worry on how I THINK the kids, especially Noah will handle the transition. Wait, I am kidding my self - Noah probably won't even notice!

The thought that keeps cycling around my head - in this economy, I'm lucky to even still have a job!
