Starting my new job tomorrow - in tears......
boyohboyohboy wrote: I knew that I was going to be starting my job tomorrow with two days of HR paper work and policy review..I was prepared for that.
what I wasnt prepared for was today schedule..
I knew that I was going to have to do 10 days of orientation with a nurse on the floor...but I thought it was going to be spread out, after all I only took a part time job working every other weekend. But today I got my schedule and I am working the next 5 days this week and then 5 days next week..all in a row..
I havent been away from my kids in three years. I was hoping to ease them and me into this job..but its definately not happening that way.
I spent a lot of today in tears at the idea of being away from them..I have written out dh a schedule for the kids, because we also have the other three that we babysit for the next 4 weeks..so he has 6 kids to himself tomorrow..I am worried about that..
I asked him if we shouldnt just let them go now, after all my new job is taking priority..but he said no.
I also am worried about the idea of the next two weeks passing dh in the night..I work days and he works second shift..so we will be passing kids off at the bus stop and thats it..
I am just wishing these two weeks to go really fast..
CantWait replied: Stacey I'm sorry  I felt exactly how you did and still do when I took this job (suppose to be 2-3 days and ended up 4). Here's hoping the next couple weeks fly by for you.
Good Luck. 
luvmykids replied: I'm sorry about the shock to you all, but the good news is it's only for two weeks....very, very temporary. I'm sure it will be tough on everyone but you guys will get through it, just keep reminding yourself it's not forever
boyohboyohboy replied: thank you guys, I am not sure if I need some hand holding, or just a good kick in the butt!
I know this is what is best, babysitting isnt good for my home. I know that orientation is just a short time, and I am a fast learner.
Right now common sense is just being pushed aside, by my female instincts that say, stay home and hold my babies!
Even my 7 yr old said to me "mom stop kissing me so much today!"
I have made a game of it for the kids, that they are going to be having a BOYS ONLY days, and have set out things like dinners and clothes for dh so he can have things right at his finger tips..even a written out schedule..thats the control freak in me.
I just want it to go smoothly..
moped replied: It will go great!!!! Dont worry, I promise you will post how great everything is going in a few days!!!!!
msoulz replied: They will enjoy the boys only days and will appreciate mom even more. So it's win-win for you!!
Ok, it's not that simple, but it's something! 
HuskerMom replied: I hope the next 2 weeks go fast for you!
PrairieMom replied: That sucks. hang in there. Its always worst in the beginning. that 2 weeks will fly by so fast you won't know what hit you.  Its probably a good exercise for you, give up some control.
A&A'smommy replied: I'm sorry girl I hope it ends up being a smoother transition than what you are expecting
BAC'sMom replied: Good luck.
lovemy2 replied: I say going from the frying pan to the fire isn't always a bad thing - get it over with all in one shot - DH will have a crash course and you will be busy learning - by the time you get to the every other weekend thing you will be saying "gosh can't I go to work THIS weekend" on your weekends off 
Hang in there just remember DH isn't going to do things how you do them but he will do them
boyohboyohboy replied: Thank you guys! I am headed off to work now, trying to take one day at a time. and not think about how many more there are ahead of me..
I wish you all could kinda peer in here and see that this household is still in one piece before I get home tonight at 530p!
MommyToAshley replied: Good luck at your new job. I bet your DH will do fine and these two weeks will fly by! And, like Monica said -- the five days a week thing is temporary.
coasterqueen replied: Good luck, Stacy. I know everything will work out just fine.
