Substitute teaching has finally come to pass. I've already worked as a sub two days in a row. I've even gotten to teach at Leilehua - it's close enough to walk to school! There's a good possibility of working every day substitute teaching.
I have a part-time job at the new McDonalds in Mililani. It's still being built so I get to train at other local McDonalds. I've been thoroughly amazed at how friendly the management and crews have been. Although I never imagined I'd find myself working at a fast-food restaurant, I'm grateful for the ability to obtain medical/dental/vision benefits for my daughter and myself. I'm also grateful for the flexibility of work hours that they've been willing to provide so that I can accommodate three jobs.
My third, and newest job is working as a cashier for Williams-Sonoma at Ala Moana. This job is like working in a candy store - I thoroughly lust after all the fabulous kitchen things. I'm going to have to use extreme discipline so I can go home with paycheck intact.
So how will I juggle all three jobs? Only through the gracious flexibility of my employers. I'll work M-F until 3:30 as a substitute teacher; evenings after 5 at McDonalds; and weekends, school holidays, and the-weekdays-that-I-don't-have-substitute-teaching-assignments at Williams-Sonoma. I'll be very busy, but the funny thing is that I seem to get more accomplished when I'm super busy.
I'm so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to earn a living to support Butterfly and myself. Hopefully, I will soon be out of debt and be able to start saving for a home of our own.
Thank you, thank you!!!
