ok, i know it's been forever since i last blogged, but as Cruz gets older, i seem to have less free time. what amazes me is, my son is now going to daycare full-time so i can re-enter the work force, and i still don't have time to spare. so yes, i'm attempting to go back to work. Cruz is now 2 years old and my husband and i think two incomes would be very beneficial. plus, daycare has been very good for Cruz. he's getting a great deal more stimulation then i could provide him by myself and he enjoys playing with other kids his age.
i thought re-entering the work force would be easier than it is. having children puts a lot of restrictions in my work possibilities. i could just get a job to get a paycheck, but i thought i would get more satisfaction if i pursued a career in something i wanted to do.. like graphic design, motion graphics, or visual effect. which, BTW, is what i moved to LA LA Land for in first place. i don't mind working a mind numbing, low paying position if it has the opportunity for advancement in a field i like. i'm eager to get my foot in the door and climb my way up the ladder. the problem is, i have hourly restrictions since Cruz has to be picked up from daycare by 6pm, and i can only work Mon-Fri because my husband frequently is sent out of town on business leaving me with no help with Cruz. I also suspect the second a prospective employer hears the word "child" they instantly throw your application in the trash thinking you would need more time off than someone without children.
i'm doing my best to stay positive and hope the right job will present itself.
