Employed!

In the last three weeks, there were three major job-related developments:

1)The interview I had earlier this month went well. I am to hear back from the school at the end of August; the headmistress/principal is away until then. During the interview she asked if I would also like to teach English to high schoolers. I said, "That doesn't scare me at all." Straight after, I had second thoughts.

2)The language institute that left me high and dry in January called me one evening and said, "Oh, it's us! Are you still looking for work?" (They trained me in January and then never called me back.)

3)A good friend contacted me saying there was a 6-month post opening up at her company to cover someone on maternity leave. It involves some administrative work and non-technical technical support.

This morning I signed a contract with... drum roll please... #3. (What can i say, it was the paid lunches.)

We have been a bit stretched financially since moving here, and this appears to be the breather we need. I am hoping and praying this was the right thing to do.

One concern we have is about our little boy being in daycare full-time at such a young age. Hubbie says everyone in France does it this way. It's true, there are really no stay-at-home moms in France, unlike the States or the UK. But Lulu is so tired when he comes home after 3 hours at the daycare center. I wonder if full-time daycare will make him grow old and jaded. He may end up feeling abandoned. We are trying to trust that the Lord will protect him and will help us help him adjust in every way we can.

Jobhunt Update

I have an interview tomorrow at 11 AM to teach 5-year-olds. Please lift up a prayer...

Fortunately, the weather is cooler now so maybe I won't sweat too much tomorrow in my "business" clothes!
