Back to Work YOU!! What do you DO?|Pad Chatter 1.2.2019

@AnneofAlamo - we seem to have a lot in common! I am also a full time, sahm with 7 kids... only two left at home. I am still homeschooling (been doing it on/off since 1993) and teach once a week at our local co-op. I teach a 1st/2nd grade history class and a high school geography class - not sure which I like better, both are so fun! When my youngest two were infants, I ran a home day care which turned into a three day a week preschool! Lastly, I also worked for a local newspaper - I guess one would call it paste up... but I would use an Apple program called Quirk to build the ads (I think it is very much like Photoshop) and then one day a week I would help the boss paste it to large sheets to go to the printer... I have to say that was probably my favorite job ever! I think it was digital scrapping before DS was even a thing!

 

I am currently doing full time, long term, substitute paraprofessional job in a blended kindergarten classroom. I also recently got my Sub-Authorization so I can teach for teachers if this sub job ever ends, lol. It was supposed to be 12 weeks at the beginning of the school year, and the next discussion about it is not until February. It's fun, the hours are great, but it is also totally exhausting.

I haven't worked full time since the birth of my oldest 10 years ago. I kinda bounce around doing odd jobs. My hubby keeps a crazy schedule, so my first job is to be there for the kids.
