New Year, New Opportunities

The time has come for me to go back to work. I have accepted a job at a Montessori school as their Business Manager. I will be part of the school administration and responsible for the entire financial aspect of the school. I will only be working in the office 15 hours a week right now and I will work at home as needed. I am very excited about getting back to work. This position fits perfect with my skill set and is flexible with the hours that I am able to work and my family schedule. The school is less than a mile from my house.

I wasn't looking for a job, however, I ran across this opportunity and it was just too good to pass up. I have always known that I am not a "stay at home" kind of person. I have enjoyed, more than anything, staying at home with my children the past 4 years. However, I need something that is going to challenge me. I have always known that when I went back to work that I wanted something that would allow me the flexibility to be there for my family and work the hours that they were in school. This position literally just fell into place. I don't know if I am quite ready to enter back into the workforce, but I have to give it a try. If I can make this work, it will be a win-win for everyone involved.

I am taking this job with an easy heart. I am fortunate that I don't have to work, so if it doesn't work out, then so be it. I will at least know that I tried to make it work and that I didn't let this wonderful opportunity pass me up.
