man, childcare makes life so difficult. Who knew getting a job was so much work. It isnt actually the getting a job part that is hard, its the what to do with the kids that is hard.
I wanted to make $300 a month to be able to get our debt snowball rolling, since we were doing Financial Peace University. But that $300 quickly turned into so much more. For 2 days a week, school for Jeremiah was $100/week. But the job i am more than likely taking is prn, meaning as needed. They may call Monday and ask me to work Tuesday. It could change every week and some weeks I could get 36 hours a week, some weeks I could only get 8 hours. Preschools like consistency however, so there is a wrench. Most daycares take babies only fulltime (5 days a week/$170-$190), the ones that do take them part time also need the days to be consistent.
So i think, i should just work full time to justify full time childcare, and to be able to afford it, well the problem there is Dave is gone 4 weeks in the summer and if i work 7a-7p, the daycares all close at 6 or 630. So, what would i do about that. Not to mention that full time childcare is $1500 a month. Man, life is complicated when you throw in the little guys.
So i just ask that you pray for me to make the right decision about how much to work and where and what to do with these little guys. It is stressful for a mommy.
