I also got to go back to school this year! I applied to NSD at the end of the school year last year - just looking for something part time as Chris hasn't been able to find higher paying work yet and the construction business is well, you know...Sooooooo, I applied but didn't hear anything all summer. Then 10 days before school starts there was a frantic series of phone calls as a 4th grade teacher at Frank Love needed a job share partner and hadn't found one yet and somehow was given my name. There were many delays and many moments where I was sure it wouldn't all work out (and maybe didn't even want it to), but the Friday before school started, I took the job and signed a contract. CRAZY. The principal only wanted to continue the job share if the teachers split the day and not the week so Pris teaches mornings and I teach afternoons and just like that I'm back in the classroom :). Chris has arranged his schedule so he's home in time to pick the kids up from school so finding a place for Nicholas has been my stress. Mom is coming up on Fridays and Chris is going to work from home on Wednesdays and I think M, T, Th we found a lovely little preschool that has an extended care option that would allow me to drop him off at 11:15 and stay until 3pm when Chris can pick him up. I really feel blessed about the whole darn thing but expect chaos for the next month or so :) as we all adjust. Let the good times roll!
