change in my life September 19, 2007
I decided to work with my sister at her church, they needed another teacher in the 18mth old class to keep the child/teacher ratio even. I’ll be there the same time my kids will, so that makes it easy for all of us to get up and go. But I will be giving up my “free time” – break from my kids (since I am a stay at home
mom….24/7) to be with a classroom full of 18 mth - 2 yr olds for 4 hrs, 2 days a week. I just feel good about the decision. If it doesn’t work out, I don’t have to stay. It will save us money on tuition for my 3 kids (bonus) and it’s a change that might do me some good. I want to be the best
mom I can, and I think I’m getting burned out with my current routine. Maybe I can get a maid with the extra cash!!!!! That would be NICE! I start in October….keeping my fingers crossed. I’ll keep blogging on how it goes!
today was my first day. Besides getting me, Ava, Aden, and Sofie out the door…it was a pretty easy day and went by fast. And it wasn’t so bad being around a room full of toddlers. They can’t say much, so I don’t get asked a million questions (duplicated). Even when we got home, all 3 went down for a nap and gave me a chance to rest too. I was sick all weekend with a stomach bug. not fun!
I am really looking forward to tomorrow…my second day on the job. A friend of mine showed me the coolest journal today. It’s called the 10 yr journal. It’s just a simple note you make every day for 10 yrs. There is room in the back for days you need to write more. But what a cool christmas gift it would make for all the friends in your life! I can’t wait to get one myself!
this is what I found on the net….
