What was I thinking?!

I just started at a new school district. It was hard leaving my friends behind and the kids I grew to really care about over the years, but the school was being ruined by choices being made and I was not happy there anymore. I still ask myself, WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?! I knew the curriculum, I had friends, I liked the kids, and I was close to home. Now I know a few people, I am unfamiliar with the curriculum, and the commute is longer. Again, WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!? I know in the long run it will be the better move, but right now I am overwhelmed and tired.

My ultimate goal is to find a way to stay home with Kiki. I would love to be a stay at home mom, but we cannot afford that. This year I am hoping to find something that is actually legit so I can eventually stay home with her. Any suggestions?

The good thing is that Kiki loves her daycare and has a lot of friends there. She gets so excited to go there in the morning. At least I know she is happy to be there. Even though I would rather be with her, I know she needs the socialization in her daily life.

YOU MADE THE RIGHT DECISION!!! Everyone who starts a new job feels maybe they should be doing something else because it's new and different. In the long run, you'll realize this was an excellent decision.

Love, Mom

You will come to realize that you made the right decision. If you were unhappy, it would eventually spill over into other aspects of your life. I am sure you felt the same way when you initially started the job you just left. It will take time, but in the long run, it will payoff.

I heard of a few people who teach the Gifted classes. They usually only work 2-3 days a week. Maybe look into that...
