I have been away from the hen house for almost a week. The fam went to Disneyland for the weekend and then when we came home, recovery, homework, and sick kids had me cashing in some of the sick days I've accumulated over the last year and a half.
It seems like longer that I've been working there. I truly feel as though we are a family - complete with our alliances and our rivalries. It's nice to know that once you are accepted in, you are in for good.
I am contemplating leaving. Not because I want to but because life circumstances have me having to make a decision. While my pitiful hours are obviously not what's keeping me there, I look at what is. Flexible hours, ability to have my kids go to whatever school in the district they want, guaranteed hours the following year - if I leave so does my guarantee, seniority within the district...
What will I gain? Freedom. Flexibility. An advance on my education.
Are the minimal hours worth hanging on to for an unknown future?
Decisions.
