You'll just really, really want that job!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817680463922038375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-65734215657570992412009-10-17T23:07:44.029-05:002009-10-17T23:07:44.029-05:00Jenny, I would LOVE that job.

What you said (like, about finding a one-day-a-week thing, or something I could do with the kids helping) is the reason I bother to open up the want-ads whenever they come, and stress myself with "Oh, I suppose I could make that work if I had to...." Theoretically, I could operate on the idea that I shouldn't worry about it now, and not eeeeeven think about a job until I don't have the other vocational obligations outweighing paid employment. I could remember that God will provide what we need when we need it, without my worrying about it ahead of time. But there's always that little hope that there will be something in the want-ads that is totally perfect ... like this cooking job would be if it had been at a place where I could make the soup myself, make the salads myself, stir-fry veggies, and serve brown bread and brown rice. With kombucha on the menu. :-)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307213773466556564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-78456154392393295422009-10-17T20:42:50.667-05:002009-10-17T20:42:50.667-05:00That would be a cool job, Jenny!

Susan...I'd keep looking, however, you do have many vocations that take over, right now, in importance...wife, mother, teacher...if the job doesn't fit, if you're not comfortable, it isn't the right job. Teacher is going to be removed from that list in a few years...then the "work outside the home" option will become more clear. The reason, though, I would still look is because there could be a little part-time job...even one day week, that just might fit with the other things and perhaps get your foot in the door for something in the future.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350172380237918289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-88334458114084402232009-10-17T19:02:08.341-05:002009-10-17T19:02:08.341-05:00One of these days I'll work harder at convinci...One of these days I'll work harder at convincing you that you'd be a great mother's helper someday for 1st time moms coming home with a new baby. <br /><br />You could cook GOOD nutritious food! And you wouldn't have to PAY for it, either. :)Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.com
