WOMMM? Working Moms

I am subbing in Kindergarten until the last of school.

OH. MY. MERCY.

Leaving the house at 8:00 am & coming home around 4:30. 
I'm not gonna lie...it's killing me. 

With 3 kids...someone always needs to go somewhere or there is
the grocery store...working out...cleaning the house...time alone...& most importantly
spending time with God & with my family every day & not being 
totally exhausted. 

I seriously admire all you moms who work full time. It's a tough gig. 
I really have to manage my time in order to get things done. 

Pure exhaustion. Kindergarteners demand a lot of your time & attention.
Someone is always tugging at you or at each other. When I come home
my feet are killing me. 

Have I whined enough yet???

The bright side is, I love the team of ladies I work with. They are fabulous.
Really...no lie. I couldn't make it with out them. I enjoy my time with them.

God has blessed me with this subbing job...I know that. Summers are always
expensive with camps & summer fun. So I know He is providing for us thru this
job. I also have so many opportunities to show His love to others at our school.

To end this...I'm asking for prayers. My throat is killing me. I am worried I might
have strep. NO!! I am going to the Dr. today to figure it out. And I am asking 
you to pray for my time management & endurance to finish the end of school. 
Our calendar is JAM packed until the end of May. I get grouchy & irritated
when I am tired & I feel like my house is out of sorts. Pray for my time 
alone with God & that I will put that first. 

Ok...so there you have it. I absolutely admire full time working moms. They
ROCK. I am a wimp. Enough said! But I will press on & accept the challenge
laid before me...to teach Kindergarteners to sit in their chairs & listen. 
Yah...RIGHT!! LOL!
Happy Monday!! Have a great week!

  4. Praying for you, your health,your time mgmt. and just overall JOY....PEACE.... AND LOVE to flow! God is with you! You got this! One day at a time..Here is a suggestion...not that you asked but hey! LOL
    pull the kids together and delegate, delegate delegate! Remember, you are a team and right now you need the help and support of your team members. Set the timer, or whatever works and have each of you do a specified task for 20-30 minutes and see how that helps you with the house situation. Allowing the kids to participate will bring all of you a sense of accomplishment and an appreciation of all you normally would have done! like I said, it is just a suggestion :)

    Love you and praying for you!
