You would think that with my lack of consistent work I would at least be available to hop on the blog and fill you in more frequently then this but no no no my friends the baby-sitting jobs have kept me quite busy. This past month has consisted of some exciting new babysitting experiences:
-I have now started watching a group of 6 children at a "moms-group" every other thursday morning. Children ages: 1,2,2,2,3,&5.
- A precious 4 yr. old every tuesdays and thursdays
-A 4 month old on occasional Saturday evenings
-And most often I have been watching 3 amazing girls. Ages: 1, 3, &5
-Also, I have continued to work on mondays watching Charlotte which is proving to be more rewarding than ever now that I have known her for about 7 months.
I am gaining some great experience with infants and working with large groups of children all at once. The only real bummer is that none of these jobs pay very well which puts me in the position to still be searching for a full time job. Prayers are appreciated as I am definitely the type of person who loves routine and consistency and gets very stressed out with out it.
On a more exciting note, Wes is thriving at his job and I am oh so so proud. :) We attended a staff meeting together on tuesday (oh yes, in addition to the babysitting I am now picking up hours here too) and in addition to Wes' increase in hours he was asked to step into a "Lead Staff" position. (Meaning he gets to carry a pager- oo la la) and he gets a raise! (tiny but none-the-less: a raise.) We are both very excited and encouraged by this good news!
Other than that we are adjusting to not eating dinner together every night as Wes' work schedule has him working till 11 most nights. I can't complain, we needed to be making more money and God is providing. Thanks for your support during this time. We miss you all as exciting summer plans are brewing....
Love,
Katie
