Two Updates

I have a new job . . .kind of. As you will see, it is more like changing lanes than turning onto a different street.

First of all, why I needed a different job: the person who moved away in May, allowing me to take up her full-time job when the mother's day out school year ended, moved back in September. Since she has more experience and is really good with the 12-24 mo. age group, she got her position back. I worked three weeks in a class that had no assistant teacher until they could hire an assistant teacher with an education degree. (At least one teacher in every classroom from 3 1/2 yrs. up must have their degree; since the head teacher in the class I worked in didn't, the assistant was required to.) When they hired a new assistant teacher, I kind of became "the extra", working on days they needed me and not working days they didn't (today included).

On MONDAY, I went into work and was told that the lead teacher position at a different Primrose campus (under the same owner and area director) had opened in the 2 1/2 yr. old class and that my name "came up" for the position. It is further away from my apartment, and the hours are early (7am-4pm), but the pay is better, not to mention the reliable hours. I start my new position on Monday. It ought to be an interesting ride . . .

The situation with Abilene is this: our lease runs out in July 2010. Trevor's contract with McDonalds (saying he will work in management six months or pay back the money that McDonalds paid for the management training classes) ends in December. We would like to get back to Abilene, but we're trying to do the best in Georgetown until that time.
