God Is Good!

In Jamaica we have a saying that we use everytime something good happens, whether it be small or great. I remember my grandmother saying it while growing up, and she lived to be 95. The expression is "God is good". Well, He is definitely great. I just landed a job with the Halifax school board as an epa(educational program assistant). I work Monday to Friday, from 9:30-12:30, which means I'll be home in time for my kids to get home from school. I get paid an incredible amount of money and I have weekends, holidays, March break and summers off. This has been an amazing blessing for us because things have been so tight due to a change in our finances. This means so much to me and my family, but most of all it means that my husband can breathe a little easier from all his worries. I hope no one thinks I'm bragging. I just wanted to share our good news with all our friends and send a shout of thanks out to those who have been rooting for us.

Congratulations on the job, Lesley!!! What great news! Seems like you'll get some of the perks of being a working mom while still enjoying the fun of being a stay-at-home mom. What a perfect combination! Keep us updated on how its going.
