Decision Made

I have been having my normal struggle making up my mind. I have been debating whether to quit work altogether or work part-time. Jake and I decided that it would be best for me to quit work so I could focus more on getting pregnant. Like going to Dr.'s appts. and seeing specialists, with out work I would also be less stressed and more relaxed and maybe that would help increase our chances as well. On the flip side of things, it felt a bit daunting to have no commitments. What would I do at home all day every day with no kids? I am pretty good at keeping myself busy, but even scrapbooking would get old after 7 hours.

So after a lot of going back and forth (me mostly--and poor Jake had to listen to my daily quit- work debate) I finally decided it would be best for me to work at least part-time. And it is a done deal. I called my boss, Susan Boothe and committed to teach 3 classes next school year. I chose morning classes so I should be done by about 11:30. Not bad, eh.

This is the best of both worlds. Still working will make it so I have to get up, ready and out the door to start my day. It will also break up the otherwise, long day. I will be able to earn some money and feel like I am doing something worthwhile. And I must admit, I am also happy to have something to tell people that I do. At the same time, I will be done early enough that I will be able to go to Dr. appts. in Salt Lake and with only 3 classes to teach, I shouldn't be too stressed.
