I am on the short list for a contract training position that would last 5 months. (In a past life, I was a software/computer trainer) The pay is good, and it would allow my family to dig out of some of the debt we've fallen into the last couple years.
Because it's fairly short-term, I would seek a nanny for all 3 kids, and continue to homeschool on the weekends, while DH would take over on Mondays (he has Sun/Mon off). We currently follow a 4 day/week anyway, so I don't see a problem making it a 3 day/week.
It really feels like it would be a good thing right now, as the debt is causing horrible stress in our lives.
Could you please offer a prayer that I see the *right* path to follow and help me see God's will in this? Also, if I am offered the position, that I can easily find good childcare and make the transition smoothly for my kids?
thanks ;)

Thank you all for your prayers!
I haven't yet heard about the position, and haven't figured out child care if it did happen, but I am doing my best to leave it up to God. I'm doing all that I can (at least I hope I am) and have to believe that it'll work out in the end.
I just want to thank you all for your prayers. They really mean so much to me!
I will remember all the intentions at mass tomorrow.
