Back To Work!

WE have been very blessed that I have been able to be a stay-at-home mom for the past 3 years. However,during these tough economic times it is time for us to supplement our single income!

Unfortunately, we live in a really small town and don't have a lot of options for work. It's frustrating because we could be making so much more money if we lived back in DFW where Jimmy could flight instruct or do contract flying. But, we don't. God has us here for a reason. Jimmy and I went around and around about who should get the job. So, after much prayer and consideration, I decided I could us a little outlet of my own. I've had a few job offers but have decided to work as a server at my favorite Italian restaurant in Branson.

Jimmy gets 15 days off each month. The other 15 he either flies or sits "standby." My manager is willing to work with his scheduled days off. My plan is to work the dinner shift about 3 nights a week. The beauty is that I can still enjoy the boys during the day and participate in our activities like gymnastics, swim lessons, play groups, etc and only miss a few hours with them at night. Jimmy will always be home with them so we won't need childcare.

I have never worked a job like this before, but I love people and I love food so I hope it will be a good fit! I finished my training last week and will work my first shift this weekend. Wish me luck!
