My parttime overnight job is ending. I prayed a lot as to what I should do. The sleep position has changed over the last 6-9 months into an awake position. I can't handle that. I know it's only 4 nights a pay period, but they really do mess me up for days. There's really no way for me to prepare for an overnight or fully recover in the day before or the day after. I have the children to care for. I really only have a couple hours in the evening that are all mine, and I share those with the Hubby.
Anyhoo... I turned in my notice and will be completely done mid-June. I am very happy with this decision.
I've also decided that I will not be opening up my own WAHM business sewing/knitting. (That's what I thought I might do after leaving the part time job.) I agree, I do incredible work. I'm a perfectionist and that's an awesome quality and a detriment at the same time. I really want/need to sew for my family. I enjoy sewing because it allows me to start and complete a project in a short amount of time. It gives me a sense of completion. My mom-job is never ending. There are days when everything I do around the house is undone in a matter of minutes. Sewing really fills that void. But when I'm busy working for others, it kinda takes the fun out of it. I love the joy I feel every time one of my children wears something that I've made for them. I don't get that when I make something for someone else.
There's also something else. I've been asked by our church to work the website. I guess that makes me a "webmaster". LOL Kinda reminds me of one of those people who used to play dungeons and dragons. LOL
It's a small part time gig, but it gives me the flexibility to work from home and I love that I'll be able to share some of my creativity with our members. God knew it was time for me to leave the "sleep" job. The church needs me. :)
