Looking Ahead

We have been so lazy the last couple of days! We celebrated Thanksgiving at my aunt's house and it was great! The only thing I wish was that I would have bought a turkey so we could have plenty of leftovers! I was feeling lazy so I never bought one and my mouth is just watering for some turkey! ahh!

Chris is still recovering from surgery and it sucks! Not for him but for me. I don't have a problem catering to him it just sucks having no help and it's not his fault. He cannot put any pressure on his foot because if he messes it up they will have to go in and fix it again; if they can't, they will have to amputate the toe.  I think it's more work now than when he was deployed. I have to make sure he has everything he needs, do everything with Wes, the dog, the cats, and the house. Tomorrow I start my English class back so I will be adding that in the mix. I just cannot wait until he is better!

Earlier this week, I had inquired about some jobs on Craigslist for Daycare workers. I got an email and sent the director my resume. This job would be amazing to get because Wes would be able to get some kid interaction everyday and I wouldn't feel like I was ditching him because I would be in the same place. I also realized that if I am serious about my future career as an educator I need to get a job that is partially linked with what I wanna do after I graduate. I have only have one job:chick-fil-a at 15 for 2 1/2 years and then I moved with Chris to Texas. We decided to have a baby and I wasn't going to work and go to school. I would never see Wes, so I have never had another job. I do not regret the time that I have stayed home with Wes! I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. Looking at my resume, I know that if I want a job as a teacher, I will need to get some "working" experience instead of just "volunteer" experience. My ultimate goal before graduating would be to be a daycare teacher to 3 or 4 year olds. I have my teacher aide career diploma, but ultimately I need my bachelor's to work as a kindergarten teacher, which is what I want to do. Snagging this job would allow me to have an advantage over girls in Alabama who work as daycare teachers, but only have their HS diploma. There are so many openings there that I am just so excited!! Anyway, crossing my fingers to get a call back.
