So I was so excited when I got to sub this morning. It was fun. I couldn't believe that I got to be there on the third day of school, and what is more exciting... I get to go back tomorrow!! Who would have thought that I would already have subbed twice, and school has only been in for four days...
So I miss being there. That is obvious. But what isn't as obvious to me is what to do about it. I resigned for a reason right? I WANTED to stay home with my kids, I didn't want to be spending 7 hours a day with someone else's when I could be with mine. So when I heard that they still hadn't hired a preschool teacher, I thought I should apply.
Now that I have mulled it over... I think I need to mull it a little more.
I need to look at the Pros and Cons of going back. (And this is assuming that I would even get the job, which isn't a certainty.)
So... the pros.
- income
- part time - two full days instead of four mornings
- break from home
- back at the school I love
- not as structured as "real" school - no marking
- no childcare for Cohen that I know of
- less chance for subbing
- teaching my friends' kids
- not a break from both kids because Avery would be in preschool
- am already busy with SRSCo and Monday Night Class, and, oh yeah, being a mom...
So... I know I know the answer. I know I should leave well enough alone, and stay home. So there. I guess that was me mulling it over, and the decision is easier than I thought.?.?.?

Good for you, Kim. I don't even have kids (yet) and I've already started cutting back my hours so that it won't be a shock when I cut back altogether when kids do come. It's hard though, because you do want to still do all the things you love.
