Wow. After a long struggle with the State of Michigan'd department of education I am happy/nervous/excited/unsure to announce I am set to join the rank of teachers yet again. I have been hired at a National Heritage Academy Charter school in Kentwood. Here are the logistics:
I will start as an full time ESL Paraprofessional with the idea of graduating to a half time ESL teacher when I FINALLY get my Michigan license.
Positive Things: another income, a resume builder, a fun challenge, an in home babysitter (Aunt Katie)
Negative Things: full time, missing the Bear, having to find a part time (non family) day care
Lots of feelings on this. Misgivings on leaving the baby in non-family hands. Wishing I could just be the half time teacher right away. Excited to get back into a school setting. Anticipating setting up our little family in our own apartment after the new year. Lots of thoughts floating around right now.
Oh, not to be outdone, Harrison cut his first tooth today! Bottom front tooth has popped up. Time for the tooth brushes :)
