After months of going over and over our budget, we finally decided it is time for me to quit my job and stay at home with the boys. I am so excited, you have no idea.
Things at work have not been going very well, to say the least. They hired a new head teacher in our classroom and he isn't a good fit. He doesn't know a lot about early childhood education and he is not a supervisor, at all. He is a sexist pig, to put it nicely. Every day I was made to feel like I am a second class citizen because I am a woman. Anybody that knows me knows that I don't tolerate that. After long talks with the boss and no resolve, I couldn't take it anymore and decided it would be better if I just quit. I have wanted to quit for awhile now, but the kids are what kept me there. I will miss them tremendously.
To compensate my lost pay, I decided to get certified through the state to do in-home childcare. If I was getting paid to watch other peoples kids, I might as well do the same at my own home. The boys are really looking forward to having me here and I already have a few "friends" lines up to watch.
Stephanie Lux watched Mason from the time he was about 3 months old till he was about 20 mths old. She decided to go back to work, so Mason has been with out his friend Brandon for a while now. Alyssa and Brandon will be the first kids on my list for new "friends" to watch. They will be here a couple days a week, so I think the boys will have great fun with them.
I am looking forward to watching my kids grow up, and become young men that I know they can be. I am seeing some behaviors in Mason that I would just assume not see anymore. I am also hoping that Mason will not be so sick all the time; I am a little crazy when it comes to germs and cleaning.
Hopefully it will all work out for the best for our family and everybody will be happier, I hope!
