job possibilities... a change

I had my second interview for a teaching job yesterday, and I think it went quite well!  I'd be gone 3 days a week, teaching general/vocal music two days a week, PreK-8th grade, and one day teaching violin, guitar, and band instruments.  It's going to be hard to figure out what to do with the kids.  Charlie will pretty much be around whenever Jocelyn is, but Evelyn is a different story.  We don't have any childcare set up for her.  What we need is Tuesday morning, from 7:00 to noon, and Thursday from about 9 until 11:30 or noon, then Fridays I won't be off duty until 4:00, and he has to be at work by then, so ... it'd be just an hour or so.  It would be a pain in the butt to put her into a daycare that isn't the same as Jocelyn's preschool, but in the infant room there, you're supposed to pay for full time or not at all... full time infant care is almost $1,000 a month, defeating the main purpose of the job.

So we're trying to figure out if we can do this.  The school actually called and asked me to sub for their music teacher tomorrow... but I don't know if I can!  We don't know what to do with the kids for that extra hour or so.

This will be a big change for many reasons.  I won't be home to do a lot of the "house" work... Charlie will be doing some of this, making lunches etc.  Also, I won't be home to breastfeed Evelyn... and will most likely not have much time for pumping during the day, which means that the days I am home, I will still not be able to breastfeed exclusively any longer.  It really is more convenient to just pop down in a chair with her when she's hungry, and she really enjoys the one-on-one cuddle time... it's a good way to get her to calm her fussiness down, even if she's not completely hungry.

Finally, I'll be getting up at 6 or so 3 days a week, which means I'll want to get up before 8 every day, which is fine, but our entire house's schedule starts much later than that, typically.  Even Evelyn deep sleeps better in the a.m. than she does before 1 in the morning.  She usually has a deep sleep from about 6:30 to about 9:00 or 9:30.

I know, these are all simple things that will possibly be changing... but it makes a big difference to the family, and will be a big adjustment.  Also, for Jocelyn, who is now used to having "mama" around all the time when she's not at preschool... it will most likely be a hard transition.  Not to mention the baby, who is very rarely away from me period up to this point.

So, that's the hubub in this fam!!  Here are some pictures, lol:
