"Failed" Experiments
Well I know to some extent what Missy means, but our situation is a little different there have been things coming up quite quickly that I am changing perception or direction with. For those of you who didn't know I have been teaching two high school math classes for the last 3 weeks and was thinking of doing alternative routes to getting a license like Ben did, but lets just say that isn't going to happen now. After 2 weeks I decided that I was going to retire early from teaching and go forward with school and other things. Also my current job is not going to benefit me as greatly if I don't work to get a license so I will probably start looking for a full time job that can get me benefits. It was actually something that my supervisor mentioned that I could do if I wanted to. It is interesting because my job here has definitely served a purpose and I am grateful that I had it to get us established here and now I don't feel too bad about going on to something else that might be more fitting and give me more benefits and such. So that is about where I am at and we are getting along alright, though Jane struggles being home alone sometimes with my nasty commuter schedule. We'll see what we can do though and we will be down in May. Love you all.

I know what you mean about trying something on and then having to return it - your job and path. I guess it's just hard when I think so strongly that I should go back, but I feel so strongly that I shouldn't. Thanks for your advice. Sorry you're in the same boat, but things will work out. Maybe your new job won't be such of a commute.
Everything happens for a reason and it takes time to get where you want... I tried teaching part time, then teaching full time - and none of it seemed to fit my needs or my families needs. Finally I am in a career that both excites me and fits into my families schedule! I think the most important thing is that you are moving towards what you really want to do. I wouldn't look at it as a "failed" experiment but just as another stepping stone to move you in the right direction. :)
