going back to work

The idea of me going back to work has been tossed back and forth between me and John.

His thoughts were that if I were to go to work for 1 year, fulltime, it would look good for the bank in order to get a mortgage to purchase a house here in Quesnel. 

My thoughts were that if I were to go back to work fulltime, i would have to put my girls in daycare, or arrange to have friends watch them.  That idea hurt my momma heart- the thought that I wouldn't be there to pick them up from the bus and here their "MOMMY" screams. 

So with much prayer and anticipation, I handed out resumes. On some, I specified that I was only able to work from 8:30-2:30 or evenings.  Others I just that I was willing to work full-time.  I handed them out at a local grocery store, a restaurant, and faxed one to a mill for an opening for clerical support.  I have not heard back from anyone.. and I know.. that doesn't mean anything. 

But I think that God is answering my prayers.. so that I can be at home with my girls  :)  Today I received 3 different calls for housecleaning opportunities.  One from my neighbor, who works full-time, like 12 hours a day fulltime.  ANother was from a friend who has bad arthritic pain in her right hand and is limited to how much muscle she can use in a day.  And the 3rd one was a referral to someone who was looking.  I haven't called this 3rd person yet to see what she had in mind. 
So on top of the Tuesday and Fridays(4-5 hours each day) that I clean right now, I would clean for 3 hours for the neighbor and several hours for my friend, and also whatever the 3rd lady would need.  I also clean for another friend about once every 6 weeks when she feels that she's falling behind.  I think that's enough work for me.. I am quite happy with those hours actually.

I think I just might have to hire a housekeeper for my own house.. Any takers??
