This blog is basically just a collection of my "random thoughts". I must warn you, though. I have been told that "I write like I talk", so if you don't understand what you are reading... chances are, if you met me... I wouldn't make much sense to you! Feel free to comment if you care to. Or not. I'm good either way!

Only 3 More Days Left!

Yes. I only have 3 more days left at my current job. I have accepted the position at the other preschool. YAY!! I feel good about my decision, I am just a little sad about leaving "my" preschool, tho. But, I feel that God has laid out this new path for me and has new opportunities waiting for me to discover, so it's all good. **Smile**



PROS about the new job:
- I will be making TWICE the amount of money and will now be able to help David out with expenses that he has been struggling with.
- I will get paid twice a month instead of only once a month! Getting paid only once a month is hard. You have to make your paycheck last all month!
- I will get paid all year round instead of only the months that school is in session!

CONS about the new job:
- It is twice as far from my home. I was driving only 9 miles to work and it only took me 15 mins to get there. Now, I will be driving 18 miles and it will take me 25 mins to get there!
- I will be working 5 days a week instead of 3.
- I still will not be "teaching". I will still be a teaching assistant. I was hoping to get a teaching postion, but at least I am getting my foot in the door in case there is a teaching position for next year.

But.... at least I have 11 weeks of Summer vacation to look foward to!! --- Too bad I'm not getting paid for it! **Smile**

Interview today!

I have an interview at another preschool this morning!!

I am trying my best to be calm about it and not be nervous. I am trying to put it into God's hands and not let the worry take over me.

This interview is NOT for a position that I really want, but I am going on it because... right now.... I can't turn anything down!!

I really want to TEACH preschool! And I really don't want to give up my 3 day, half-day, work week... but, I may have to.

The job that I am interviewing for is for a 5 day, half-day, teaching assistant position. I am sure that the pay will be better than what I am making right now, which is something that I need... but... I sure will miss those 4 day weekends!!

If they offer me the job, I think I may ask them to give me a few days to think about it so that I will hopefully have the chance to hear back from a few others that I have talked to and have given resume's to.

Interviewing for jobs is NOT my favorite thing to do!! The questions that they ask are what make me nervous! I get worried that I won't say the right thing in my answer.

I would appreciate any and all prayers this morning! My interview is at 9:30 EST.
