Do you like changes?I'm so excited about the upcoming changes to our family! It seems as if our life is always changing, and i'm a person that embraces change. I love differences, I love learning new things and exploring new adventures.
And, we're about to have a new big change to our family!
No, we aren't moving, and we aren't having another baby.
This is a change that I have wanted for as long as I can remember, it's something that I have literally prayed for.
I'm officially going to work part-time!
Now, granted, I really have been working part time since we moved to Oklahoma, but I had at least been working a few hours every day, meaning, we have been paying for full-time daycare.
Over the last few weeks, I have cut down to 3-4 days a week, but starting this next week, i'm cutting out day number 4!
G has two more weeks of full-time preschool, and then, she'll move to 3 days. This will cut our daycare budget down by $200.00 a month!
MC's sitter does not take part-time, so we will continue to pay her full time rate, and keep her home on the days that I don't work (which, I already do).
In August, G's preschool is expanding, and MC will finally have a spot there! By putting MC and G at the same preschool, but keeping them both at 3 days a week, we will eventually save $400.00 a month!
I'm nervous about the change, because we still own our house in Indiana, and cutting down childcare, cuts down my hours available to work, which can also cut down a cushion to make that house payment should anything happen. But, we're ready to face this challenge head on, and just put our faith in God that our needs will be provided for.
DJ and I agreed that G is at a critical learning point, and her class next year is very advanced. So, it's a risk pulling her out and her falling behind her peers. So, we will continue to have learning time on the days that we are home together. And, i'll be able to continue my Teaching Tot's posts as I develop lesson plans for her and MC.
If I can ask one thing of my readers and family, it would be for your prayers. To just pray that G can embrace these changes and that our pocketbook can as well. I know that while we are saving money, it also makes me nervous, because I just can't pick up extra days should something happen. I'll have no one to watch the girls. But, i'm so excited about spending my days with G and MC, especially as this will be G's last year before starting kindergarten (which, still doesn't seem possible).
