One thing off my mind.

For months, I have been stressing about my work schedule. As I am sure I have mentioned before, I work Fridays 2pm-10pm, Saturdays 7am-10pm, and Sundays 7am-9pm. I took this job because I wanted to be able to both see my daughter off to kindergarten each day as well as pick her up off the bus. Also this schedule has allowed me to volunteer in her classroom one morning per week and help out the PTO one morning per month. I feel that all of this has helped make Lily's transition into school go more smoothly. The down side of it is that my husband hates being the primary caregiver all weekend. So to summarize, this schedule works great for Lily and me, but not for Rich.
So yesterday I talked to my boss to let her know that I needed to find a day job to start when Lily goes to first grade. MY BOSS IS THE BEST BOSS IN THE WHOLE WORLD! Just needed to say that, because there are so many bad bosses out there! So I tell my boss all my concerns, including that I am afraid of getting a pay cut and having to put Lily into an afterschool program, and she says not to worry: she has the perfect job for me, I can start when Lily goes to school, arrange my schedule so that I can still take her to school and pick her up myself, AND she will fight for me so I don't get a pay cut! All this and she still has time to tell me how much she will miss working with me. The world would be so different if there were more people like her. The down side of the new job will be that I have a new boss, but hopefully the new boss will not be that bad.
And hopefully my husband will stop whining about having to function as a real parent for 2 1/2 days out of the week.
