Since having the twins a popular question to me was if i was going back to work or not. After a lot of debate it was decided I would no longer teach 1st grade :(. I was so sad about the situation, but knew there wasn't any possible way I could teach. Well after being home a month I realized 2 things 1.) we couldn't afford for me to be home all the time and 2.) I can't handle being home all the time.
Now.. I know this is a very controversial topic amongst mom's but I have realized everybody is different and has their own needs. I LOVE being home with my girls, but I also NEED my outs. I feel that when I get away from the girls for a bit I am a better parent. One of my friends put it in good terms for me. She said you can have quantity time, and quality time, and they don;t always go hand in hand....
Anyways, I kind of fell into a job as a title 1 teacher. (its for schools that are predominatly poor so they recieve extra funds to help supplement and add teachers) They agreed to work with my schedule so I am working tue and wed at a Private Catholic school. All new areas for me. I have started and like it so far, I just work with small groups and am really excited! One day a week Dane and his sister watch the girls and one day they're with a sitter.
Other than that out life is really good, Dane is super busy with school. Dani and Jaci are almost 9 months and growing up.
