Only half a day perweek is required so, I asked my boss to let me work on Saturday mornings so that hubby can look after the kids. I really appreciate hubby for offering to do that.
I have an ex-colleague to thank for recommending me to the job :) Although the job is straight forward bookkeeping, I relish the chance to apply my debits and credits. Now, I can take my accounting training out of cold storage. LOL.
The time away from the kids is good for everyone:-
- the kids - stick less to me, hence encourage independence;
- hubby - bonding with the kids unaffected by me. Besides, he'll learn not to take my handling the kids for granted (hehe!);
- me - to recharge my patience meter after being drained by the kids; peace and quiet for the mind; knowledge not wasted; a little bit of pocket money for myself :)
Last but not least, this job sure beat the translation job I had last December. Easier, less time and more money. Hehe!
