Back to School...

I may be going back to work!  I saw a job posting yesterday that I am going to apply for, so nothing is in anyway decided yet.  It is very similiar to my old job at Snow Canyon, but I would be working for Dixie State College in one of the high schools as the Educational Talent Search advisor.  My job would be to work with students who would be first-generation college students to find scholarships, work on study skills, apply for entrance...that sort of thing.  It's a full-time job and it has great benefits, not the least of which is that I would be on the same schedule as the girls including summers off.  I never had that at DWS. 

I called one of my old friends from SCHS who is now a counselor at Dixie High and it turns out that the job is at her school.  She was very excited that I am applying and told me all about the office and people there.  I am only sad that my other good friend Roberta is not going to be working in that office anymore...she has worked there for the past 15 years or more...and this is the first year that she will not be in the schools.  Bummer! 

This would be a major life change, but since the girls are in school full time now, I think we can work it out so that Taylor will only be alone for about one hour after school...and then only on days when Scott is not able to come home at his usual time.  Depending on when I would have to be there in the morning, I will have to find someone to take Shay for a little bit before school and drive her there when it's time.  One of my neighbors should be able to help me out....if I get the job that is.

 I have many mixed emotions about it all.  But I think it may be just the thing.  I will let you know more as soon as I do.  I have my application ready to go in, except for some letters of recommendation which I have requested from some of my old co-workers.  Wish me luck!!!!
