I think it is great that you have a career that you can go back to with such flexibility - plus new clothes! Cool!

I really enjoy it--especially if you have the luxury of only taking advance jobs. Here in San Diego I make just over $22/hr, so it's not terrible money.

Congrats on your new wardrobe and being back in the classroom! Your comment about not wanting to be seen in a casket until you lost 20 pounds really did have me rolling on the floor laughing. I sympathize on the migraines. I get them too and they really suck.

Tom, was the same age as Bear when I went back into the office partime and I have found it very rewarding to be out of the house.

We know you are a great teacher and you will be great at whatever class you sub.

Have to shut my computer down, the lightening is back.

Glad you're back! Good luck with your subbing!...

Wow, that sounds like fun...or at least like blog fodder which equals fun for me. And also, love that it's an excuse to get a fab new wardrobe. Yay to that!

Congrats on your decision, and I can't wait to read stories about you molding these young minds. In cute shoes, no less.

Hey! I'm glad you're not dead! Sorry about the migraine, though. I've never had one, but I've had teenagers, is that close enough?

You plan sounds awesome. I trauly cannot wait to hear the stories. You may even inspire me to head back to the workplace. psssshhaw!

As difficult as subbing can be, the flexibility of being able to take a job when you want or not is a heavenly thing with the age your kids are. And, maybe you'll end up with a long-term sub somewhere that's a little more stable. I've always thought if I had to go back and sub that I'd like to be the building sub. At least you get to know the staff and the secretaries.

Well this is all very exciting! I can't wait ...

Well this is all very exciting! I can't wait to hear your tales of subbing.

I actually enjoyed most of my substitute teaching days. There was one third grade teacher in CA who had ZERO control over her class, so subbing for her was the pits. Other than that one class, though, it was generally a rewarding experience.

I liked having the option of staying home when you or Uncle Awesome were sick. That little bit of extra income helped us stay afloat.

I hope your experience with subbing will be as fulfilling as mine was. Prepare to be exhausted at the end of the day, though. The girls might be tucking YOU into bed!

Hey! Welcome back! I teach 8th grade and while I agree about substitute teaching not paying enough, it does have its perks (both of which you listed, ha ha). Good luck and enjoy!

Missed you too!

It sounds like a good decision, especially if new shoes are involved.
