Found out last Thurs that the girls are enrolled at Covenant Christian School for the 2011-12 school year in 2nd and 3rd grades. Found out today that I got the job at the school. I'll be an aide in the MWF Little Pelicans class--that's 3yo's. Also, Patrick will be enrolled in JrK which meets every afternoon. He will therefore also be enrolled in Above and Beyond MWF mornings while I'm working.
Check this out:
M--everyone goes to school together. Once I get off at noon, Lillian and I are alone till pick-up.
T--girls go all day; take P at noon; Lillian and I are alone till pick-up.
W--everyone goes to school together. Once I get off at noon, Lillian and I are alone till pick-up.
H--girls go all day; take P at noon; Lillian and I are alone till pick-up.
F--everyone goes to school together. Once I get off at noon, Lillian and I are alone till pick-up.
Wait! Did you see what every single afternoon looks like?? Did you see I'll have only one child with me EVERY SINGLE AFTERNOON? I know, I know, the time will fly and I won't get as much done as I need to, blah, blah, blah. Bottom line is I will have a break. Every day. I can't imagine what that will be like. Really, what will I do? Take a walk? Grocery shop? Clean house? Why, yes I will. Alone too, if Lillian's asleep. It will have been a long 2 years.
Yes, I also realize these changes will bring with them a whole new set of struggles and frustrations. It's OK. I'll be better able to handle it for having some time away, right? Right!
Another, equally important bottom line--my children will be ensured of an excellent education, one that I am not solely responsible to provide for them. In fact, this is a bigger bottom line than the freeing up of my time. We are so thankful to God for all is provisions!
ReplyDeleteYAYYYYYYYY!!!! I'm so excited for all of you!
ReplyDeleteGood recovery on the comment -- -- I am glad for the education but THRILLED that you will have some weight off your shoulders. I WOULD suggest you not go grocery shopping if Lillian is asleep :)SO many more thoughts . . . but we'll just have to have a playdate and chat.
