The Ups and Downs of Employment

Mr. Llama and I have been keeping our eyes open for employment opportunities. We were hoping and praying that Mr. Llama would be the one to work outside the home. However, it seems that all the jobs available right now are in my area of expertise. By divine intervention I was led to a old friend that led me to a job offer.
The job is perfect for my skill set and I think I will thrive in the environment. I will be working for a small company (less than 10 employees) in the construction industry. Yes, I'm going back to construction.

The downside to this job is leaving Miss Katie. I haven't worked outside the home since having Miss KB and the thought of not being around her all day makes my heart ache. I am thankful that her papa can be home with her and that his school schedule is flexible! Katie and her papa have such a great relationship that I know they will both be fine without me all day. That part doesn't worry me. It's just I'm her mama.... and I love her happy face in the mornings... and the snuggles at naptime..... and everything in between!

I know that this job is a blessing. I have been very prayerful about it and know that blessing will ensue because of it..... I don't know how or in what form, but I will trust that Heavenly Father knows best.

So yeah for a nice paycheck and awesome job! Boo for not being home with my little girl. It's an up and down thing.
