First Day of Work

When I was printing out pictures I saw this and thoughs "Aw Dalton doesn't want me to go to work" But now that I remember it wasn't so much about me going to work. It was about him going to daycare. This was the week they went to that "horrible daycare' that they only lasted a couple of weeks in. (See previous post).

My poor little man.

Ok So my first day of work. When we left Idaho in 2007 I contracted with Weyerhaeuser working about 10 hours a week until Caitlynn and Dalton turned 1. Once they became mobile I just couldn't even pull out 10 hours per week. I of course had to watch them closely and when they were sleeping I was cleaning or getting stuff done. Jeff, understandably, wanted me to return to work. I just wasn't ready. I would have worked a part time job, but once you think about daycare for 2 kids all the money from a part time job would go to daycare. So really.. what is the point. So I held out and in January 2010 started seriously looking for a job. I was pretty picky though. I needed something that made it worth paying daycare. I applied for 3 positions over a 9 month span with FEMA. Had an interview with all 3. Yeah. I ended up getting a job as a reports specialist. I was nervous, excited, anxious, upset, etc etc to be returning back to work full time.
