I Am A Professional

Crissy April 19th, 2006

I love being a stay at home mom and I have no desire to have a full time job at the moment, but I do enjoy interacting with adults (minus baby). I currently teach a class at the local Community College in the evening and it’s the best of both worlds - I get out of the house without the baby and I get to interact intellectually with adults.

Today I had a meeting with my supervisor and I was oddly nervous. She is in the process of revamping the entire program of classes and she wanted my help. I have been teaching this class for the last 4 years, but I have been feeling a bit out of the loop since I became pregnant. I haven’t changed the format of the class in the last few years. Now it’s time to change and I’m afraid of being left behind due not keeping up with the latest trends.

Turns out my fears were unwarranted, I had lots of great ideas and she is very excited to incorporate them into the class. She is even going to pick my brain for one of the other classes in the next couple of weeks. Since we were discussing new classes, I thought I would put in a good word for myself. I let her know that I would be willing to teach another evening class. There it is out. I am comfortable with not adding another child to our household in the next year or so.

Strange, that is not where I thought this post was going. It turned from me wanting to add some intellectual stimulation to my days and ended up being a declaration of me being comfortable with only one child. Hmmm. I guess all the talk with friends planning their next baby has entered my subconscious and I have made a decision. Very interesting. I think I need to share this little tidbit of information with my husband.
