Going Back to Work

Today I found out that I got a job as a teacher at a pre-school/day care center. I had interviewed for the position last week, however they hadn't called me back when they said they would, so I assumed that they had found someone else, esp. since I have very few formal qualifications for the position. I am in shock now, and a little panicky. I start tomorrow with training, from noon until 6, and when I am done with the training it will be a 8-6pm full time job. I started thinking about it, and the last time I had a full time normal job was the year before high school.... I've had part time jobs since then, but nothing full time, and all those jobs were pansy jobs, so I'm excited and nervous for this "real" job. I will start out in a "floating" position, helping out in all the classes, wherever they need help, and eventually when they feel I'm ready I could have my own class. I feel this is a really good learning experience ahead of me, and I am proud and thankful that I was able to get a dignified job and not have to resort to some of my back-up plan jobs, because those wouldn't have been very enjoyable (ie conducting phone surveys like I did back in college). Ryan will be home to take care of Ethan, until Ryan finds a job, but we are going to go step by step and see how things go and not worrying about what happens when Ryan gets a job until he does get a job. I've always wanted to be a stay at home mom, so it will be hard to be away from home, however I know it won't be forever. It will help us out financially and eventually I will be able to go back to being a stay at home mom.
