I’m in high demand

haha… well not really, but kind of in a way.

I had my interview Thursday with Western for a middle school Special Education position.  Turns out they have TWO positions available, and I just learned today that I was one of 7 candidates being interviewed.  I think the interview went really well, and, maybe I’m getting my hopes up, but I have a good feeling about this job.  I will know Monday or Tuesday.

If I don’t get the job, Lauren asked me to be Aria’s preschool teacher.  Which I think would be so fun.  I really would love to do the daycare thing, gearing it towards preschool, and having a daily schedule and a "mini curriculum" also.  I would be one-on-one with Aria until we move and I open up my daycare, and at that point Aria would join the preschool group at my daycare. 

Well… remember the two teachers I was originally supposed to nanny for this fall?  Well, the teacher with one kid found daycare, and this evening I got a call from the other teacher.  She can’t find a daycare with two openings- specifically an opening for the baby.  Daycare spots for infants are tough to find.  So, she’s in a bind- can’t sleep at night- doesn’t know what to do and is on 4 different waiting lists.   She asks if I would be interested in watching the kids until a spot opens (if I don’t get the job at Western) or until I get my daycare going… and she’d still have me watch them then.

I’m feeling pretty wanted LOL!  Anyway, I told her of course I’d watch the kids if I don’t get the position at Western.  It is just so crazy how things work out.  Just when I am freaked out that I won’t have a job this fall if I don’t get the Western position, now I have two backup plans!  In a way I hope I get the teaching position, but then in a way I hope I don’t so that I can jump on the opportunity to stay home with Porter for longer.  I guess I will be okay with whatever happens.  I have done my part with Western- I put forth my best at the interview.  If they offer me the position I’m taking that as a sign from God that He wants me teaching.  If I don’t get the job, then I know I’m meant to stay home with Porter for a few years. 

Of course, now I’m really nervous about daycare for Porter if I do end up teaching.  If she can’t find a spot for her little guy, what makes me think I’ll find a spot for Porter?  I called Kris and Sarah today (who used to work at Angels and now do in-home together) and they are booked solid and actually 4 over ratio!  They are really the only daycare I really trust with Porter.  Sarah told me if an infant spot opens they’d save it for me, but thats probably unlikely.  I have no clue what I’ll do now.  *I’m* the one who will be in the daycare bind now!  I don’t trust just anyone with my baby. 

Wish me luck.  I just hope that whatever pans out doesn’t disappoint me.
