Back to Work........................

In September I went back to work. It has been nearly 8 years since I have worked this was a tough decision. With winter coming and Construction slowing down I decided we could use the extra income and I got a job in September. I am working at the Beehive home that is about 3 miles away from our house. This job has truly enriched my life!! It has been VERY hard to leave the kids (especially my baby-Madelynn) and go to work. I only work part time so its not to bad. I take care of 7 elderly women who are all like my grandma!! They are great ladies and have had amazing lives-they truly inspire me to be a better woman! They can all walk and do most tasks-but most of them have all-timers disease. I have really enjoyed getting to know them and when I don't work for a day or two I wonder how they are doing! Just recently we had one of them pass away in a matter of days she went from walking to being bed bound and then one quite night with her daughter by her side she passed away. I sat with her daughter for a few hours and listened to her tell me about her amazing mother. What a humbling experience that was and one I will never forget. Life is so precious! All though it has been difficult I have learned alot about myself and about life in general. Jake has really pitched in and is doing alot of babysitting. We are all still adjusting to our new schedules but all in all we are surviving.
