The winds of change
As it turns out, I may just take this full time job at the elementary school. A lot of phone calls have been made in the past 24 hours and after talking with the principal today, I've decided to go by the school tomorrow to see exactly what we're talking about.
It turns out the full time position is as a teacher's assistant working one on one with a 4th grader with autism. The teacher would always be in the room, but due to his needs, an assistant is needed as well.
They have also added some spots to the substitute certification class, so I've signed up for that as well. And I'll be taking the Parapro exam next Friday. So, I should be able to have two avenues to take. Both of which would get me going in the school system.
And I have a girlfriend who has offered to watch Chloe during the day.
I'm pretty excited about it all. I'm very comfortable with Christy watching Chloe and having good care for her is a major factor in it all. This August I was planning on enrolling Chloe in the school Madison is in now, so by then, both girls would be in school full time leaving me bored at home. This change just bumps that up a few months.
I'm nervous tonight about the unknown of tomorrow morning.
Happy thoughts please!
