It's been 2 weeks since I started my new job and I think I have definately made the right move.
I am enjoying the environment and the people.
The work itself is relatively easy but hard going because the hospital is hot and there is lots of walking and physical activitiy involved.
This as it turns out is a good thing as without even trying I have lost nearly 7 pounds!
If I actively start a diet and cut out the snacking and the beer then I think the weight may just drop off.
I seem to be more relaxed at home too. I'm not stressing as much with the kids and with 7 weeks holiday a year I won't be missing out on much during school holidays either!
Going back out to work?......... highly recommended.
If you're stuck in a rut financially and stressed out at home and your kids are at school full time then you've got no excuse! Even if it's just part time because you're kids still need you after school getting back out to work will give you some of your self respect back and give you a break from the stress at home and the bonus is the extra money!
I have been very lucky in that I have a family to assist me with the kids so that I can do full time but for anyone thinking about any kind of work all I can say is...... GO FOR IT!
I was a stay home Mum for 11 years so it's never too late to start again.
