Working Woman

Well today was the beginning of a new crazier life. My teaching certificate will expire if I don't do a few things to gain 200 professional development points. SO. . . there was an opening for a math tutor at the UVU Wasatch Campus, I applied and got the job. I'm excited to get back into teaching others math, but nervous for the fact that it's been a long time since I've done so. The last major teaching/tutoring that I've done was over a year ago. : ( I was feeling okay about it until Darryl said something to the effect of, 'I would be so nervous about loosing all that knowledge. Especially something like math, it goes so quickly.' Not Helping! He wasn't trying to make me nervous but it did. I think he felt bad about that but after today all fear will be gone and I'll just be loving teaching math again! I'm not sure how long it will take for me to get over leaving my boys that often. It's only a couple hours a day Monday through Thursday, and they'll be with my neighbor Gina (whom they absolutely adore). I guess I'm just having flashbacks of leaving Kade when he was a newborn so I could finish teaching the last month of the school year. The best thing is that I know all this worry is senseless. So give me a few weeks and I'll be over it.

It will be nice for you to get out of the house and talk to adult people (that is what I miss the most), but also very hard to leave those two darling boys. Good Luck. And don't worry, I am sure that all that knowledge isn't gone!!
