So working full time has helped me realize how much I enjoyed being a stay at home and how immensely I miss it. I am always so tired and worn out after work and keeping up with the house is amazingly more difficult than I thought. On top of that I spend over half my income paying for a nanny, she's awesome, don't get me wrong, but it feels like I mostly work to pay for a nanny. Now to add on top of this I apparently miss understood how my insurance works and it's not $250 a month, it's $250 a pay period. I know insurance is pricey, but between insurance and nanny I'll only be bringing in $100. I don't know what to do. I would love to quit my job and save us the money on the nanny, then I could get a part time job in the evenings or on Chad's days off and would make up for the income I was bringing in. But then we'd have to find another private insurance. If this doesn't make sense, that's okay, it's very confusing to me too.
Ideally Chad would put in his resume to several companies and get hired doing computer work making a little more than he is now and insurance.
Lots of prayers over here for us please. We need to make a decision, a good one and relatively soon. Please help us to be able to know what to do and where to go from here.
Much Love,
Jenna
Hey Jenna!
ReplyDeleteWhat if you could work from home? You're excellent at sewing! Maybe a sewing business of some sort?? Or you could teach piano lessons!! That makes pretty good money. As far as the insurance goes...doesn't that stink?? I miss that aspect about the military so bad.
I wish you the best. God wants us to be successful so I pray things work out for you guys!
