Slight Change in Plans

So I was on my way to pay for the substitute teacher certificate today when my cell phone rang. It was an elementary school I had applied to last week for a teacher aide position. They want me to interview tomorrow afternoon. Knowing it would mean employment now and would be steady at least until the end of the year, I agreed.

After talking with Tim, I've decided if they offer me the job, I'll take it. It would mean money coming in and I can still continue with my plans to get my certificate back. I will still take the two classes this fall. But this opportunity will give me the chance to get my foot in the door, my face and name out there in the district so if a teaching position opens up, I'll maybe have a better chance of getting it. Either way I'll still be working toward the same goal with the same date of full certification by early 2007. I'm hoping this position won't be just until the school year ends but will be a return in the fall position. That way I'll know I'm working everyday instead of waiting for a call to sub each morning.

Sorry the last couple days have been more about life and less about weight loss. I have a lot spinning around inside my head right now and putting it down here helps me to get it all sorted out. I do appreciate the feedback and support that you all give to me every single day.

Barry's right. In my comments from yesterday he was wondering how I could question what I set my mind to. I need to believe in myself and my ability to teach as much as I believe I'm going to lose another 204 pounds!
