Well it is time...time to go back to work. I have interviewed for a position at a local school. I have to say that I have enjoyed not working and love being able to pick up my son from school and be home in the afternoon to make after school snacks. Cleaning and maintaining my home, baking, cooking, and running errands are all part of a job that I actually enjoy. This will be a change for me.
Although I have previously worked at schools (some time ago), my son and I always had the same schedule so I was able to get off work and still be there to pick him up. This new job will not allow me to do that. I have mixed feelings. I know that going back to work is necessary at this time, and I do enjoy teaching very much....but at the same time my ideal job is a stay at home mom. I realize that he is growing up and am often told that he does not need me to be there in the afternoon, but I disagree with that and as a mom love being there for him.
On one hand I am hoping that they call soon and tell me that I have the job because there are no other teaching positions open at this time.....but on the other hand a little piece of me hopes that I do not get the job because I enjoy what I do. I know that probably sounds horrible. Keep me in your prayers as I need to find some inner peace regarding this situation.
Update: I got the job and love it. The school I work for is wonderful and I couldn't have asked for a better group of students. I still miss being home for my son when he gets home from school but we are both adjusting.
