    Big changes are coming!

    I have 4 full-time dcks. Over the next few months I am facing:

    1 dcg leaving for at least 12 weeks, and possibly for good, when her mom has her new baby. I am really pulling for mom to stay home with her girls, but of course that means a loss of income for me.

    1 dcg leaving for the summer - teacher's kid. She will be back in August, but will be 4 and needs a preschool setting with more kids her age. I am looking at possibly having her mom sign her up for a morning preschool nearby that I would pick her up from each day.

    1 dcg that I will be terminating based on their crazy schedule that is nothing like they told me about when they signed up.

    1 dcb that will be here for most of the summer, alone.

    1 girl will be back, 1 may be back, 1 won't be back. And I can't decide what to do! I NEED the income, but may be at the end of this phase of my life. I have never had such a difficult time making a decision. I don't know you folks very well, but could use your happyface and :hug: today!

      I am. I have been doing daycare in order to be home with my children while we homeschooled. My dd graduates this year and will possibly leave for the mission field next year. My youngest son will be a sophomore in high school and will be my only child left at home. My heart just isn't in working through the process of bringing new kids in - interviews, schedule adjustments, etc. But, like I said, I need the income so I am not sure what my next step will be.

        You could start looking at job postings to see what's out there, and maybe even go on some interviews just to get a feel for if you want to start working outside of the home!

          I think the right thing will end up falling into your lap. Every time I find out I have one leaving and get nervous about finances - the phone always rings. And almost always I have the spot filled before that family has a chance to leave.

          God always takes care me. I certainly don't deserve it, but he always provides.
