In a recent email conversation with my aunt I realized that I glossed over the "big life changes" comment I made a couple of weeks ago
here. And while, as I suggested in the title, I am not usually a drama queen, I think I may have overstated the level of
life changing changes that the decision will make. I am just not good with big changes to the normal routine. I have to warm up to ideas after torturing myself for a short period.
It all started a few weeks ago when I received an unexpected phone call from a local Montessori school that I have been flirting with ever since I moved to town. Out of the blue they offered me a teaching position. Thrilled, I was thrown into a 2 week period of tormenting over the decision of leaving a job I love for a teaching position I wanted. It's a good problem to have in the current state of US employment, and I didn't take that lightly.
Have I mentioned that I am a Libra? A blessing and a curse if you ask me. I can look at an issue/problem/situation/decision and see every single angle, pro and con. I am
awful at making decisions - poor mr. bejos! After many, many pro/con lists and flip flopping with my decision multiple times from the moment I woke up to the moment I (finally) fell asleep I decided that I would take a leap of faith and enter the classroom again.
Come this fall I will say goodby to the
incredible flexibility and travel that I have enjoyed with my current job and step into a much more set schedule. I expect to work very hard, as one does with a new job, and be very tired. I am quite worried about getting out the door in the morning. I have become too accustomed to working in my pajamas from home with very leisurely mornings. I suppose it is time to move on. Did I mention the real kicker that put us over the edge in choosing the teaching position? The school offered bejos boy a space in their very, very good toddler program.
So the overblown drama is over and I am looking forward, with conviction and excitement, to the changes for the bejos clan.
