Possible good news! I decided to tell Jennifer, the director at St. Johns, that I want to come back next year! The only catch is, I really need to work full time. So hopefully she'll be able to work it out so I can stay through extended care. That will give me hours from 9 till 5:30. I would also like my own classroom and if there's one available I think I will get one. It all depends on which other teachers are for sure coming back. Hopefully it will all work out. Even if I only stayed for lunch bunch and was able to find another nanny job, that would still work out. There is one little boy who gets picked up by various babysitters after lunch bunch. I'm sure his mom would prefer to have just one sitter. And I get along really well with this child. So if it doesn't work out for me teach extended care, then that would be a good alternative. I won't make as much money as I would working elsewhere, but I also have no guarantee of finding another job. A lot of places that thought they were hiring aren't any longer because of job cuts. I really don't want to work somewhere else where I'd make around the same amount of money. And if I'm not going to get my masters anymore, at least not right now, then it doesn't matter anyways. I just don't feel like I need my masters any longer. I am very content where I am. After I talked to Jennifer about it I had a great sense of peace. I was happy. That has to tell me something since I've been stressing out about finding another job when I market is super low. I think this is a good choice right now.

I think that is all. Who ever would have thought I would end up in childcare? Not I. Certainly not I.
