![]() I swear chickens make the best therapy animals. They’re so sweet and I love them so much. My girls get so excited when they see me they come running. I mean most people do it so it’s doable but wow, stressful. I don’t think I’ve really thought about what you do with your kids in the summer while working full time until this very moment. I have a kid on the spectrum, I can’t just ship him away to camp. You can pay a lot of money to drop them off an hour before school starts, and pick them up an hour after school ends, but still you would have to leave your work day at 2:30 to get there in time because there are no jobs out here or in surrounding towns (country living).Īlso, summer. ![]() In Texas, things are designed for that (longer school days, longer aftercare). My friends don’t get why I don’t just find a full time job somewhere, but I don’t understand how that would work. Although in reality 5 hours kidless a week isn’t enough time to do much of anything. My plan is once the twins are in school (George in the mornings for a total of 12 hours a week, Gen full days twice a week for a total of 10 hours, so only 5 hours intersect/so 5 hours kidless) to finish my real estate classes and get that ball rolling, because it would be flexible enough to do while they’re still in school part time. My friends think I shouldn’t stress about not hearing back because it’s the first week of school/they’re crazy busy.īut also, if they know they have a “severe” shortage of staff, why do they wait to write an email begging for people to apply once school has already started?Īnyway. ![]() I know they have previously scheduled interviews for next week, so maybe they want to get through those first before contacting me, who knows. They’d have to put Gen in a different class (because her class is strictly part-time) and they would have George all day (which I don’t think would be a staffing issue with their current setup). Justin thinks it’s a no-go, and it could be. My email was polite (I am a people pleaser) but it did not make friends and the head of special ed is not nice to me when I bump into her in person (her boss is the one I sent the email to). The man who sent the email, who is doing the interviews/hiring, is unfortunately the same man I had to write the email to this summer when I pulled George from ESY. I immediately applied and haven’t heard back. A friend told me they would cover full-time tuition for the twins’ preschool, which would be perfect and the hours are the same as a school day. We got an email saying there was a severe staffing shortage of paraprofessionals in our school district, especially in the special ed classrooms at the elementary school. ![]() There are also other lifestyle changes that contribute, living somewhere without ‘help’ (my neighbor in TX used to come keep me company for two hours every morning, it was more companionship than actual help but it meant a lot to my sanity), and also that my husband has been traveling twice the amount that he did in TX. Or just that I started staying home with my kids as a foster parent in 2015 (so managing extreme toddler emotions full time for 8 years). ![]() I don’t know if it’s having twins (one deeply feeling kid and the other on the spectrum). ![]()
