Feeling Like a Teenager Again....

I haven't written since March when I was an intern for a 4th grade class. I made it through that and am now looking for a job????

Actually, no. I had made the decision last spring that I needed to re-group myself and my family. Having gone back to college in my 40s and taking on an overload of classes for a little under 5 years, I was burnt! I needed a tiny break. This plus my own children were making huge leaps in their own schooling (one entering middle school and the other mid-high) that I was feeling I wanted to be available to them. So... subbing sounded like a great option for me. Not to mention there are no jobs to apply to!

But now I feel like a teenager.. waiting for the phone to ring.. do they want me today.. will it ring today with a sub job? I'm torn about this. Part of me feels that I am not doing a great job keeping up my new teacher skills that I paid so much for. Yet, at the same time, I am enjoying the quiet house and my family is enjoying homemade meals that have made a comeback.

So, I sit and wait and wonder while I read blogs from teachers and smell the pie I have cooking in the oven.
