I think I can, I think I can....

Hey gals!
Well I started training for my new job this past Thursday, more training next week as well!
We will be able to get into our classrooms on the 17th I believe, then our babies will arrive on the 25th.

I have to admit, I am feeling VERY overwhelmed!
Training consisted of how to assess babies and toddlers, learning the 2 assessment tools we will use on them as well.
Because Head Start is funded by the state and government we have all sorts of paperwork to do and report on, in addition to our daily observation notes, lesson planning, taking care of the babies, mentoring the moms, etc. WHEW... I'm tired already!

I don't know if its nerves but I have been feeling sick to my stomach the past 2 days:(
On my break, I'd run the truck home to Brian then they'd drop me back off to work- my lil Gage would make the saddest face and cry which made me get all teary eyed and ponder if I REALLY made the right choice by taking this job?!
I know financially I HAVE to do it for my family, we aren't sure whats in the works for my husbands job but he hasn't been paid in 2 months!! RIDICULOUS!
Soon he will be collecting unemployment, even though he is STILL working!
I pray that a rewarding job will fall into his hands by the end of this year.

I'm sad that I won't have the time to blog as much as I used to, craft and scrapbook, etc.
But I have to remember that these things are the priority in my life right now, providing for my family is.

All I know is that when my first BIG paycheck arrives on the 27th, I'm going to get one of these...
A Massage!!!

If I'm working hard, I deserve a lil pampering right?!

................................................
I hope you will all still keep in touch:(

Gonna miss chatting everyday!!

Hugs,
Noelle ♥

Love your back to school theme, Noelle! So cute!!

I've never worked outside the home full time- only part time and even then, I was sick all the time! I just do better at home- even if it does mean we're poor as church mice! Only you can say what's right for you! ♥
