Workin' Woman

The blog posts are few and far between, huh? Well now my excuse is, "Hey, I work almost full time!" Last year I was a substitute paraeducator (instructional assistant). This year I have my very own 5.5 hour-a-day job teaching math to small groups of kids from 1st to 5th grade, and helping kindergarteners learn to read. It is so busy and fun. I'm really loving my job.

The not-so-lovely part is when I get home and the mess is still there! And dinner needs to be cooked! I need to borrow a housewife. The weekends are crammed with errands and chores. And soccer of course. Thank goodness for Sunday nap time! It's been almost 10 years since I worked this many hours. And boy, was life simpler then with one two year-old, no sports, no homework. But I wouldn't trade this crazy life of mine, nor this busy family, for the world. Not even for chocolate or a house in Hawaii.

Yeah for your job! I'm so happy for you! Even if you didn't work so much, the household would be a little crazy, right? So enjoy it while you can! Someday there will be dances, boys/girls, more homework and even more sports to add.

I'm so glad you are loving your work. I think none of us appreciated how easy life was when we only had one baby. Would it be weird for a housewife to get a housewife???? My mom says everyone needs one.e
