a new opportunity..

after my last post about being restless & unhappy in the "job" area of my life, I decided to do something about it! So I posted my resume online on a few sites just to see if I would get a bite and you know what.. I DID! Several in fact! That simple fact alone helped boost my "blues" to light green or almost pink.  So I'm gonna make a long story short - 

Le Cordon Bleu of Dallas has a full time instructor job opening.  I am up for the position.  They want to have the position filled in 3 WEEKS.. yep, the start date is DECEMBER 29.  that's INSANE right?! my first interview went very well & I have a second interview today with the campus director.  but if all goes well, we would be packing up and moving 3ish hours away, moving fenway around to a new facility (or trying to find a nanny), I would be starting a new job (teaching), and kelvin and I would be separated during the week for a few months until he can get his job moved.. ALL IN 3 WEEKS! Plus, all this worry may be for nothing, they could choose to NOT offer me the position.. but I've got my fingers crossed.  CROSS YOUR FINGERS TOO!! 

It would be a wonderful opportunity.  I miss teaching dearly.  The pay is quite a bit more than I am making now.  We want to move out of this area & somewhere new. The hours are workable with vacation & all weekends off. It's a much bigger city, so once Fenway is settled there are MANY more opportunities for her & her therapy.  There is a Cooper Tire warehouse there that Kelvin could transfer to.  The housing market isn't too insane (a little more than what we rent for now..) so all in all it is a great opportunity, BUT, I am still scared! This would be huge.. and IN 3 WEEKS.. I think that is the thing that has me freaking out a bit, that I don't have time to really assess and make a plan and execute.  And then my mind reverts back to : dude, they haven't formally offered you the job yet so quit freaking out!! - AHHHHHAAAHHHH! 

Ok, i'm done =) My interview is @ 3:00 today, I'll let you lovelies know how it goes - FINGERS CROSSED XX
