Reclaiming myself

Hi there!

I know its been awhile. 2014 has been a challenging year to say the least. As I've mentioned I am working extremely hard to reclaim myself. This is an insanely large undertaking including everything from my mental and emotional state of being, my physical health, my home and my activities.

This week brought about a new aspect of this process. I've been considering returning to work part time for awhile now, but haven't pulled the trigger to make it happen. Although I am still not going back to work yet, I came a little closer this week.

In my research for kindergartens for Bella (for next year) I came across a position at a wonderful local private school that has preschool and k-8. One of their listed benefits was tuition and childcare. The position was 30 hours a week, and my kids could have attended the school! Well as it turned out it was only a 20% coverage of tuition, so I would have been working to pay for tuition and childcare.

But I was asked for an interview immediately and it went really well. The recruiter was highly complimentary and it felt good to clear some of the cobwebs out of my professional self. It inspired me to work a little harder to find an ideal situation for me so that I can be mommy, and professional.
