Back to teaching (for money)

After hanging up my teaching career for a stay at home mom it is hard to believe that I am at a stage where I can teach again. I decided to apply for a preschool teaching position so that I could get Kyle into a preschool and earn a little money as well. I found out yesterday I got the job. It is an ideal situation as Kyle will go to school the same time I am teaching but he won't be in my class. It is 3 times a week and I think will be perfect. I am excited and yet scared after being out of the work scene for so long. The lady who hired me was Taylor's preschool teacher and he really loved her. She is a very nice lady and I am excited to work with her. I feel lucky to have the job in this economy. I think Kyle is going to love school. He always wants to go when I drop Dallin off for kindergarten.
I am recovering from my nasel surgery and had my follow up appointment today. It is still too early for me to know if I'm glad I didn't it yet. I have been given the ok to start jogging again and after 2 weeks break I am scared to see how much harder it is going to be.

Poor Joanna is getting sick of crutches and was very disappointed when she found out she has to go into a walking boot for two weeks after the cast gets off. I guess we were both a little naive to think she was going to walk out of the office with her shoes after getting her cast, when she hasn't used her foot for that long.

Its hard to believe it is that time of year where it seems like I'm packing a lunch for my kids every day for a fieldtrip or I am going to a program or I have to feed good breakfasts because of core testing! Now we also have to start mowing the grass and taking care of the yard but the thing I hate most about May is the stress Lynn is under to get all the pools up and running by memorial day. He is swamped but handling it ok so far.

That sounds great for you Lis! I am looking into going back to work too--not because I want to though.

Yahoo! Is Kyle in the 9:00 class? I think that is the one that Carter is in. I'm excited for you to be able to teach again. I bet you'll be great!
