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.

Wow girl! That's a lot of kids! How have you and Dane been since the summer?! It seems like it was so so long ago...
I think that you need your time away from the girls and I can see how that would make you a better parent. I think that is great you found a job that is working with you and hope you love it!! We really do need to get together. I got a new phone so I don't have your number anymore. Text me sometime and let's hang out.
Good for you girl! I think I would need some out days too. I bet your class just loves you!
you are NOT the only mom that feels like this. everybody is different. i will agree with you and say that you need a break once in a while. i have to get out myself sometimes and I tell James that it makes me a better wife and mother:) first it was funny but i honestly think it is true i started it a couple months ago and really feel so much better! glad you figured it all out. and hope you continue to like your new school. Your girls are getting SO big! i can't believe they are 9 months, are you sure!? before you know it they will be a year old, you just wait. well have fun and keep in touch!
OMG!!! They are 9 months already? That has gone so fast they are so cute. Good luck with the new job:)

Your girls are so cute.. they are getting so big.. I think that most women need a break now and then it gets over whelming.. I love working because its a good out and I think daycare is good for kids..
