With Max and Avery going to the center soon and Zoe heading into 2nd grade next year the option of my working again has finally come. I am excited about this opportunity as my professional aspirations have always been high. I have not worked full time since I was pregnant with Avery and even that was short lived. I love every minute of the time I have spent home with my angels and wouldn't change a thing. You only get one chance to watch your kids grow up and although it was out of necessity that I stay home full time, it has been the best decision. I always figured I would work part time while the kids are small and go back to work when they are ready. Autism and the journey we have embarked on changed those plans drastically.
I have been looking into part time jobs and full time jobs. It seems scary to enter the job world again and I know I would not be picking up where I left off. I left a very rewarding profession and although I didn't get enough time to truly be established (in my eyes), it made a big impact on my life. The surreal part for me is that as a special education teacher, my work so closely resembles my life. That makes for an entire new set of challenges, but on the other hand, I have more to offer. I look forward to the future, but will cherish the time spent home. Who knows maybe I will be busier than I think and I will continue to run this ship from home. We shall see...
This summer though, I am spending quality time with my sweet Zoe as she has taken the back seat too many times with the crazy home life we took on for the past three years. I look forward to a little freedom in our schedule and lots of fun times!
