After the years and years of doing daycare so that I could afford to be a stay at home mom. I finally decided that a woman can only be the "mom" to infants and toddlers for so many years and I guess 20 years is my limit. :) Now that Sage is married and gone, I started babysitting when she was born, and Lacey who is my baby turns 15 in December, it was time to stop.
I was very fortunate to get a job cleaning at the Nauvoo temple at night. I LOVE it! It is quiet and peaceful. The perfect job for me at this point in my life. Unfortunatley it doesn't pay as well as daycare.
So I clean cabins for Nauvoo Log Cabins. I LOVE it. It isn't every day but it keeps me in pocket money.
I was at the Jr High one day and saw that they were struggling with finding drivers. I got into a conversation with Annie in the office and offered to take the earlybird chorus kids. I get up anyway in the morning with the girls before seminary so I had no problem driving the schools van and taking kids out to the high school twice a week. I love it. Then it turned into after school pick up of play practice, vollyball, basketball and whatever else is needed. The problem? I could only drive the van. So now the school is paying for me to get my bus drivers licence. Talk about falling into my lap. I am a bit nervous. I never would have gone looking for a job like this but I am really enjoying it.I am very Thankful for my jobs!! :)
