I start a new job on Tuesday. I am now an employee of the state of South Dakota! I was offered a job in the WIC office. I will be working in Canton and Elk Point. It'll be 3 days per week, 8 to 5. Can't get any more normal than that! The state will provide a car for me to drive back and forth, so I won't be wasting my gas.
I'm really excited for the change. Working for WIC will fit better with my NICU background. I did enjoy working with adults at the clinic, however, I was always drawn to the babies and kids. I really started missing the babies! I couldn't go back to working weekends and nights though. This is the perfect compromise and will be right up my alley.
I will stay unscheduled part-time at the clinic and pick up days here and there. I'm going to miss everyone there!
Wish us luck in this new transition. We're still trying to figure out the best way to work-out childcare and driving. The kids will continue to go to daycare in Brandon so it'll be a little bit of driving for me until the kids get out of school. In the summer, Mike should be able to take them, so it won't be as bad for me.
My little brother might watch them again this summer. I think he's still trying to make up his mind. We'll probably bring them to Traci's one day per week so we can save our spot there and Nate can watch them the other two days. We'll see!
