Boggled



My mind is currently in boggled mode because these next few weeks are going to decide the next turn my life takes. And, just when I thought I kind of knew what I might be doing, I got called for TWO more interviews today! Hooray! Here's the skinny...

-Interview #1: It is in Brownsburg, a school that is approximately 26.5 miles from my front door, pays more than $2,000 of what I currently would make at the other job I have, is a Preschool job (like the one I just left), and is in an elementary school.

-Interview #2: It is in CARMEL, holy cats people this is my dream! The school is less than 5 miles from my front door, and pays approximately what I would be making at the current job I have, and is for a 2/3 Gifted Talented position...that is half time. (That's the killer).

So here are my thoughts, if I have any at all...by this point my brain is literally fried (and this is saying I get both jobs, who's to say I'll get either? Wishful thinking on my part.) I could take the job in Bburg and get paid more, and potentially work myself into an elementary position. It's a huge school and I've heard great things about the principal...so it looks good there. However, I haven't heard much about the job yet, but it's a developmental preschool which is like what I came from, and I'm not sure I want to go down that road again. We'll see.

And as for the Carmel job, it really stinks that the position is only half time, BUT it would be an awesome way to get into the school district and honestly, my dream is to teach a 2nd/3rd gifted talented class, it's what I want to get my masters in. So, the thought of being able to do this is crazy! I'm just wondering what else I could do in order to not take the Wickershams to the poor house. But, do I sacrifice one year for an awesome future?

DECISIONS DECISIONS.

I will just continue to pray and know that everything will work out for the best in the end, however prayers from you all would be fab as well. I feel they only keep me sane, because if you know me at all, you know I like to know what's happening next, like where I will be in a little more than TWO weeks! Ahh, I can't even think about it or I might lose my mind. I think it's time for bed :)

do you HAVE to work full time? I think if the 2/3 gifted is your dream and you get offered that you should take it! it might eventually become full time and maybe during the school year they will need extra help in other areas you can work at or if you NEED to be full time could you work part time at a day care or someplace? it wouldn't be the most fun but it would be extra money I suppose... i dont know, i just think if its your dream you should take it... keep us posted!!!

#2 sounds promising and with great potentials, for the free time, you can do many other things....
