Frustrated!!!
Anyone who knows me knows my dream job is body piercing. I finally have an opportunity to do it (probably), & I might have to pass up the job because of the kids.
Daycare is expensive & Kagome is so young. Breastfeeding would be very difficult & I'd probably give up on it pretty quickly. I'd miss the bonding with both kids, especially Kagome. My parents are NOT on board. They hate the idea of me working in a tattoo shop because they know I would get new tattoos. I can't deny it either. I've been wanting more for a long time. I would be away from my kids for 10 hours a day 5 days a week (including driving time). There are so many obstacles & downsides, but in my heart & my head I keep thinking (((DREAM JOB)))...What if I miss this chance & never get another one?
I am still holding out hope that it will fall into place & I'll be able to do the job (after the training) & keep breastfeeding & not lose too much time with my kids, but I might be kidding myself.
In any event, I'm still waiting to hear back from the tattoo shop owner about whether or not his friend is willing to train me & whether or not I'm in for the job.
And I've got my sister-in-law checking out a local daycare for me to see if it is open on Saturdays & I'll be calling them to find out if they take babies as young as Kagome & how much it would cost for 2 kids per week. Angela told me that she thinks it is $20 per day per child, so that would be $200 a week (which would be more than half my check). Maybe they do a monthly discount or a discount for more than one child? Maybe I'm just dreaming...after all it is my dream job.
