I hope I didnt make a mistake

So, back home I worked at a hotel two nights a week on third shift. It was a nice balance between working and staying at home during the day and we didn't need to pay for daycare. Since we moved out here, i have been going back on forth about getting a job again. Dh makes enough for me to stay at home, but that little extra money really helps out.

Fast forward to today, and I was offered a job! Same hotel brand and everything. But... its full time(40 hours). I'm kind of freaking out. I feel like i can do it, but I'm afraid that I'm gonna be in some fog during the day when I'm home with dd. I start tomorrow and work 7 days straight because of training. It helps that dh has off during the week, but then again I'm afraid that I'm going to spend all of our time together sleeping.

Ugh, i dont know. I'm grateful that i got the job but just scared. I think I'm gonna try it out and see how it goes and take it week by week. I'm hoping i adjust and it wont be as bad as i think it will.

Re: I hope I didnt make a mistake

  • I think you will be fine.  You will get used to it and if you don't maybe you can talk to them about going part time.  I am sure you will adjust after a few weeks and then it will be like second nature.  Good Luck!!

  • Congrats on the new job and GL with trying the schedule out.  Since you don't have to work, I'd just give it a shot and if it doesn't work out and they won't let you reduce your hours you can always quit.

    Ditto. I think that not having to work will actually make it easier for you. If things gets overwhelming, you can always try to reduce your hours or find something else.

    I agree. Congratulations though! :) I kinda miss working in a hotel...
