For the last couple of weeks my time has been divided between working at home and commuting to client offices around the country. I love the outdoors kind of work - that's the reason I accepted this job, but as the family begins to expend, it has become apparent that my job would have to be something I need to look at properly.
My little boy is now 5 and needs to have me around after school and most nights to read bed time stories. With me flying around the country, that's not possible.
I will not sacrifice my family's happiness for my own financial gains...as such, last week, I put in a request to be working from the office; and someone else to take my place of going to clients. It is a tough decision, but it's something I need to do. There's no need spending all that time away making some other people happy - and leaving my son to learn to read on his own.
So, yesterday, I got the go ahead I was hoping for and will now be working from the office. It was a great feeling to know that I can come home after 5pm and go play ball with him at the park. Listen to him talk about what happened in school and his adventures. This for me is what I makes me happy. Money is a secondary thing.
To kick things off, we will be going to town to get a few books and have dinner - all of us..
Then I will use the opportunity to buy a copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard Collector's Edition. I have always wanted to buy it, but didn't think I could. I'm a huge fan of Potter books - seen the movies, read quite a lot of the books, but didn't manage to have enough change lying about to put into The Tales of Beedle the Bard Collector's Edition.
But I hear they are going on special offer, so I will take the opportunity to grab one. I will post here later to let you know how it went.
