Day 91: Built-in Support

So, I am now working. It is crazy to say, but I am. I am substitute teaching right now, and so far, there is plenty of work. I really hope it stays that way. Along with subbing, I am also taking a class to get my teaching credential, and the class started tonight. It was good, and the best part was that a lot of what was talked about, I already knew from my education classes I took to get my Bachelor's Degree. Hopefully, that will help me in this class, because I know I am going to need it. My teacher is a little crazy, I think. They have about 2-5 hours of homework a night. Problem is that class gets out at 9pm and it is an hour commute. So, I get home at 10, have to be up by 5:30-6am most mornings for work, and don't get home from work until between 3-4:30pm. With having to leave the house by 4:50pm to beat traffic, how am I going to find 2-5 hours a night/day for homework! Ahhhh! Luckily the class is only 3 weeks long, but it will be a little stressful. So, don't be surprised if I miss a posting or two.

My dad came to stay with me for a while during Ian's deployment. Mostly to help me by taking the kids to school in the mornings and picking them up in the afternoons. It is something that, given my new schedule, came just at the nick of time. I am so grateful for his help and even though I am usually not able to ask, I am glad my dad is here to help me. It really will be awesome to have a built-in support system. It will help me out a lot, give the kids some added stability, and give my friends here a break from bailing me out with the kids all the time. It will help make this deployment a little more bearable and will help me finish my credential and eventually get a stable job! Thank you, dad, for coming to help me out.

Another day down, another day closer to seeing his face in front of me and not on a picture or computer screen. I can't wait to be able to touch that face!
