The grass is always greener...unless it's our yard, then it's kind of brown

I have a job interview today at a preschool in the area. I have decided that after 2 years of dealing with junior high and high school students, I'm ready for little ones again. The job sounds great--3 year old classroom (my favoritest age!), Julia would get to go too and I'd get a discount rate. It's privately owned and not large. I'm excited at the possibility of working again, especially with this age group, to have my own classroom again, to be planning themes for the room that will meet their fine and gross motor skills, engage them in using their imagination and stirring up their curiosity in their surroundings.

But...

I don't want to give up the time I have with Julia right now. I know, I complain constantly about how high maintenance she is, but the truth is, I like being home. I guess I want both. I want the job with the co-workers, the satisfaction that comes from a doing your job and doing it well, the change in scenery. I also want to be home with my kids, to have the whole day to work on projects around the house or just skip the cleaning and take the girls to the park for the day.

I know that Ebeth has school soon and then it'll just be me and Julia. And I know that Julia would LOVE to have other playmates. I guess I want both and would love for someone to figure out how I can get both that doesn't involve me having a day care in my home. :)
