Over the last year or so Mike's work has been changing often and so have his hours, so working shift work myself wasn't working for our family anymore. I tried to figure out what to do next and I looking for jobs that would fit our families lifestyles, but there wasn't much out there that allowed me to be home with the boys enough. So I started my own cleaning company a few months ago now. It has had a slow start, but I have had a few comments for my clients lately to make me believe that it is going well. I could use a twice as many clients as I have now to make it a full time gig for me, but for now I still work at Reitmans part time.
This has been a great experience so far as it gives me great independence. I can say, 'yes' or 'no' to a job weather or not it works for my family. Also while cleaning I have a lot of time to think to myself and have started to listen to sermon podcasts and a daily audio bible podcast, this has been very meaningful for me. I appreciate that God has given me the opportunity to be home more with my children, but now I just need to learn how to be home with them at the stages that they are at. I'm looking forward to this summer and not missing out on all the fun that I can do with my family, because this new job has given me freedom to be with them more.
