As some of you may know already (if you read ljkids... my sweet little bugger, sneaking online...;)) I'm more than likely going to start working at The Growing Tree Learning Center in town, a daycare I worked at in college years and YEARS ago. I sent in my CORI (a criminal record check) about a month, maybe more ago, because Ellen (the old manager there I used to work with) told me they may need teachers coming at the end of summer as they hoped to open a "transition room", a room for 2.9-3.9 or so years of age as a stepping stone to preschool.
Excited: I haven't worked with kids besides watching Jax at her home for YEARS now, since mid 2001; I'm going to have my OWN room with my OWN kids! I'm going to be able to perform fun lessons, get those kids learning. :) Jax will be in my room, along with a couple other kids I've known through Sarah or generally visiting there WITH Sarah when we'd drop off/pick up Jax together. Lots of familiar faces, lots of fun! gavs is going to go with me and be in the toddler room only a room away, so he'll be *right there with me* along the way, and I'll get to see him a lot more than parents who have to drop off and leave for outside jobs. VERY lucky there. It gets me out of the house, and hell, I'll be smoking a lot less...LOL! Plus hello, when was my last REAL paycheck?? Daaaaaaaa-yum....
Sad: I've been a stay at home Momma for over a year now. Gavs is all I've known, and the transition will more than likely be a hard one for the two of us, though I must look at the positives I suppose. It may NOT be hard at all, as he's a good kid, but... still, maybe it's just ME I'm worried about, lol, Gavs'll prolly be fine, lol.... yet it will still be hard. My mom and mom-in-law have expressed slight sadness at the fact that we won't be able to "hang out" as we've normally done the last year or more. I've told the both of them that they're free to pick Gavvy up from school or outright take him for the day if they want to, that it's all free and easy. Still, big change from the easygoing "I'm always home" angle...
So really, lots of emotions and feelings going on here. The good kinda outweighs most of the bad, but the bad angle of "My baby and me, just my baby and me" outweighs just as much at some points. I dunno. I AM freaking excited, lol, just a little nervous. Buuut hey, in a few hours (I'm up so early, must be my early bedtime I did up-) I'm gonna be calling those darned CORI people to see if it's ready and on it's way to tell Ellen, then I'll be going on Tues. and Weds. to decorate MY NEW ROOM! Lol, as long as that stupid CORI comes in nothing should go wrong. I'm gonna be able to pack a lil' lunch for my bebber, watch him play with other kiddies and do up my new career. Wow. Such changes. :) Some sad changes. :(. But all in all GOOD changes. :D
