i know you are all on the edges of your seats waiting to know what this 'new job' is. sorry to get you worked up, you can relax now. i teach one class every tuesday night; it's an intermediate pointe class for the academy of ballet in springville. after 3 weeks of teaching i'm almost learning one girls name. they are good, but talky. and how hypocritical is it of me to get mad at them for talking? (i guess only jandee knows how much i talk in ballet class :) but it is a job, and i enjoy it. and i am sore.
after searching for a part-part-time job to tide us over, this one fell in my lap in one day. although students loans are oh so lovely, our kids are freakin' expensive. abby won't drink whole milk, which isn't good because i just weaned her. so what do you do for a kid in the 3rd percentile? feed her pediasure. so we are basically pouring money into her that gets pooped out in 12 hours, but at least she's growing. right?
ps: lucy begs to go every week, but secretly likes being 'baby sitted' by daddy. which means chocolate, beef jerky and spongebob. what a great dad.

it's a relief to know that i'm not the only one with a little person who won't drink milk. whole milk? what's not to like?
I'm so glad you are enjoying it....I know what you mean about the talking thing....now that I've been teaching for quite some years I think I have altered my memory of how much I really talked and seem to believe that I was this perfect silent child!
Annie this is Carolyn (mels sister) Jared was 5 weeks early too and is small for his size too, and like Abby won't drink whole milk. The thing is he will drink 2%, and at least that is better then nothing. He is majorly picky, he has gained a whole 1/2 pound in 3 months! GRRR

their website looks really good--looks like a great studio. maybe one day i'll send my hypothetical girl to you??? glad you have a chance to enjoy your talent and make some cash at the same time!
Congrats on a job you love and a break one night a week. I know all about dads babysitting. Our kids would love us the most too if we just let them eat icecream and watch cartoons all day!
