Change in Plans

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 by Stacie

I decided to go back to work when the kids are four rather than five. We had planned to wait until they were 5 and in extended day at school (known as full day kindergarten every where else in the country) but, really, I am not temperamentally suited to staying home full time even with a home business. I am thinking that by 4 they will be ready to be in the after care program at school until I get off work, especially with teacher hours, and though I won’t actually clear much between the school tuition payments and the after-care payments it does bring the number of years we have to scrape preschool tuition out of the couch cushions to one.

Finding a Latin teacher job won’t be hard. There are more jobs than certified teachers.

Bitchy Twin Post Du Jour

Here. Hey, it’s not me today. I’m too busy getting ready to be rejected by a photo site as not good enough to be in business again. Tell that to the State of Connecticut to whom I just wrote a sales tax check.

Snapshots from the Pumpkin Patch

There was an old firetruck to climb in at the pumpkin patch which was far more interesting to J than the pumpkins. There were also two small chickens to touch, hay bales taller than J to jump off, cider donuts and two slides.

F can recite the numbers from one to ten. As can J but he is less conventional in his ordering.
