Heart just not into it

Where do I start. I had a temp job last year for a few months. It was not bad, but it was not brilliant either. It was great to be bringing in some money, but it meant a lot of childcare for the kids. As a family we managed things quite well in the end, but we were exhausted and there was little time for the extras in life.

I am back to looking for another job, but my heart is not in it. I know we need the money to move forward, we are pretty borderline at the moment. It would be nice to have some of the money worry to go away. I know I am also more organised overall when I am working. I just feel so blah when I look for work. I get a headache and just feel ill.

The work is just not exciting me and I am feeling stressed about how to fit it all in now that DD1 is a school with the school hours and holidays into play. I do some volunteer work that I do enjoy, but with work it is hard to continue and may not be possible depending on the work days.

I know in my heart that some kind of business would be preferable for us, but I am completely stumped for a good idea. The pressure is on to bring in the money and I just don't know what to do. Logic says go back to bookkeeping, but my heart just does not know.

If you want something temporary to get a bit of cash, the census is coming up and they are advertising for collectors at the moment. It can work well if you have someone to look after the kids after hours for a few weeks.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder of that. I came across the supervisor job awhile ago. Have just submitted the application - thanks :D
