I had an interview Wednesday morning and found out yesterday I got the job. It is a full time teaching position at Cooper. Cooper is the school my kids will go to--Ashlyn will be in Kindergarten next year. I will be teaching gifted accelerated classes to 2nd and 5th grades pulling from the regular ed classes. It is a great position and one that a lot of teachers want. In fact, the principal told that a lot of teachers at Cooper would have wanted this position but we are already 9 weeks into the year and she just can't pull a teacher from a regular ed room at this point in the year. So I have lucked into the position. Unfortunately, with the economy, that doesn't mean that I have the job next year. However, it does have me a foot in the door at the school I want to be at. So I'm hoping to be teaching there when my kids are there:). Fortunately the private preschool my kids are at has aftercare and I have a few friends willing to take them in the morning. Brandon and I just sat down and figured out cost of childcare and it is going to be almost 1/3 of my paycheck going to childcare...... When he is home, he can drop them off at school eliminating before care.
I know it will be a big adjustment for the family but I can't pass up the opportunity. At least I will have 10 days off at Thanksgiving and a few weeks at Christmas not too far off.
