BIG change in my life....

I love to spoil kids, as long as thier not mine. Good luck and well wishs.

You go, girl!

Good luck! How long will this take? Will you be able to take a break and work more days every so often?

I know that one little boy broke your heart...but he had to go with Mommy and Daddy. I bet you will find another little one - or many! - that will open you up to finish grieving, and to love again.

Congrats on deciding to go back to school! That is a wonderful decision.

However, I would suggest that you spend some time in the classroom before you devote a lot of time and money towards something you may not like. I think it's very important to like children if you work with them- they can tell if you are not "into" the job and will respond in kind! (I am currently teaching 1st grade).

Also, I think in all states you need at least a bachelor's degree to get a sub license (due to NCLB), while you really only need a high school diploma to be a teacher's aide. I'd encourage you to apply for a teacher's aide position now if you are interested in that.
