I’ve been offered a promotion at work, more hours, more pay, and different duties. My boss (the owner) wants me to take on administrative work to help lesson the load on him and to be quite honest I’m nervous as hell. It’s a lot to take on with school and life in general, I’d be working full time, going to school full time and of course the soul care giver for Em as always. I’m seriously questioning me ability to manage it all, which is only offset by my need to earn more dough. And that extra $$ would end up being just about $200.00 shy of making TWICE my current monthly salary… twice! Which is also extremely close to what I was making when I still had the church lady job. So if this works out then I would not have to supplement my income with student loans, but if this works out then what if I can’t keep up with all of my schoolwork? The hours would be more flexible than they are now, with much of the administrative duties being such that I could handle them in my off hours. But I’d also be adding 10-15 hours per week, which is a lot for me. Quite honestly I don’t see how I could pass up the opportunity, but I’m nervous just the same. After all, we all know how much I adore change. ;-)

And now a picture from a friend that I found to be hauntingly beautiful and eerily serene. How fitting that such simple calmness found its way to me when it was needed most; while in the midst of my inner turmoil with this whole job thing. There truly are no coincidences are there?
