Well, I turned down the job offer. Perhaps if it were closer and paid better, I would have tried to make it work. Right now, though, I feel much more comfortable staying home another year. I’d rather have Z in preschool part-time and have time to pursue some classes myself. Also, I have no idea how [...]

I went on a job interview today. It would be a return to my old line of work, which I’m not too thrilled about. I just don’t have the same passion for it as I once had. Still, if I don’t get into graduate school this fall, it may make sense for me to just go [...] Things have been pretty up in the air lately, which is not a feeling I enjoy. I like having a plan and following that plan! Adjusting a plan is ok, since that would lead to a new plan. It’s the lack of a plan that makes me uncomfortable, though I think I may be getting somewhat [...] Last week Carnegie Mellon announced their C-MITES weekend workshops in Lower Merion. C and a friend are both attending for the first time, though different classes. C will be newly 6 and hopefully not too much younger than the other kids. It will be his first experience with a group of other children like himself, even [...] Tomorrow is Father’s Day and serves as another reminder of how much I appreciate my husband. I see so many single parents out there and I wonder how they do it. It’s so hard being a parent even with a partner. When I’m exhausted at the end of the day, I sometimes think about what it [...] This month is my 10 year anniversary, not of being married, but from graduating from college. In some ways it doesn’t feel like so long ago, in other ways it feels like forever. In the time since, I did complete a post-graduate certificate program, but otherwise my formal education has ceased. It wasn’t that I didn’t [...] It’s just two weeks until early intervention comes out to assess Z to see if he qualifies for services due to a speech delay. For the life of me I can’t remember if they said they’d be mailing me out paperwork or if they said that they won’t be mailing me out paperwork. I know they [...] Well, we just finished C’s first week home since graduating kindergarten. While the week started out well with a fun trip to the park, the weather turned wet the rest of the week and pretty much confined us indoors. We never got the pool opened and now need to pump the cover off again! Meanwhile, me [...] Today in the mail I got a packet from the school district. It had a permission to evaluate form (granting the district permission to administer the gifted testing) along with a couple questionnaires, so it looks like they may possibly follow through with testing C this summer (they refuse to accept our testing). The paperwork included the standard time-frame [...] I always imagined I’d be a very hands-on parent and probably stay at home with my kids if we could afford it. It always made me a bit nervous about entrusting my infant with someone else, especially when your baby can’t tell you anything yet. Maybe all those nanny-cam stories on the news got to me, [...] |
