My New Job

For the first time since I've had kids,

I'm working outside of the homestead

and

(drum roll please...)

I love it!

I get to go to school every morning with this one here...

but I get to head home three hours later.

I spend the first two hours of the school day with darling first graders and

the final hour of my "work day" with inquisitive fifth graders.

The highlight of my work day is seeing Julia walking hand in hand with a friend

or running up to me for quick hug. It really is an ideal set up.

I am hoping this job stint helps me decide if getting a teaching certificate is something I want to pursue in the future.

For now, I enjoy being the second in command and soaking in all the differences between first and fifth graders.
