As of a few days ago, both my husband and I were offered teaching positions in a great private school in Pomona, California. We were very happy of coarse, because with the economy being the way it is, it’s been really difficult for people to keep jobs, let alone find jobs.
But, now it’s back to packing up the little bit we just barely unpacked, having my husband find us an apartment in the area (around the school) and having him fly back to Indiana, and then we’ll all drive to California together. We’ve then got to get somewhat situated before the school year starts and the chaos begins.
I hope he finds an apartment soon, because that will make things much easier for 0ur son and myself if we come to a home that is already established.
I also have some friends asking around about good apartments in the area, as well as asking around about daycare/babysitting for our son for a few hours a day, when both my husband’s work hours and mine overlap and we’re not able to watch him for that short while.
This will be the first time since my son was born that I’ve had to work outside of the home, and it’ll be my first time leaving him with someone else. I have a certain amount of anxiety about this, but at the same time, I’m telling myself that he needs the social interaction with other kids and we need to earn a living to get a foot up on making a big change in our lives.
I sure hope I find a good daycare/babysitter and that things will go smoothly. But, time will tell!
