So I realized at some point today I went from faking/going through the motions of GAL to actually enjoying getting one! Filling out teaching apps. reminded me how much I do love teaching, where before I was focusing on the guilt of putting my kiddoes in fulltime day care. I can't wait to have a teaching job again, I get so much satisfaction out of helping the kids and socializing with the grown ups (even if it is only during lunch and recess!). And I called an area Sylvan (tutoring ctr) earlier this week to ask about summer employment, and mentioned I had been a Director of Education for another Sylvan when we lived in a different state. I got a note in the mail from the owner today asking if I might be interested in being a Center Director (Boss of Everything!). Seems he wants to get more hands-off in the future and is looking for his replacement! Even if I don't do it, it feels so great to think I COULD do it! Suddenly it seems like I have a ton of options, where last week I was (in my mind) just an unemployed stay-at-home mom with no income potential and no future prospects without my H. Have gotten a real ego boost and attitude lift today. Probably the best I have felt in 4 months....YAY! And the best part is, it is all about ME and just me....not him
