I had a plan...

As some of you know I went back to school this year due to a transition in the requirements for my field.  I am an Audiologist.  I test peoples hearing and a number of other things that I will explain someday in another post.  Anyway, its been my intention to go back to work part time eventually.  In my field there are many areas that can be covered.  When I lived in Boston, I did general audiology work for many years but then was asked to help establish a newborn hearing screening program at the medical center I worked for.  I had a specific interest in pediatrics and had completed a final project in school in this area so it was perfect.  I LOVED this job.  When we moved home, I told my husband that when I went back to work I wanted to do that exact job.  The only problem is, there are very few of these specific jobs available.  Especially where I live now.

So, my plan was to go back to school, get the new degree (Summer 2011), get my kids all in school, get my ideal part time job, and work while kids were in school.

Until...yesterday.  I get THE call.  A position is opening, part time, doing what I want to do, and I'm basically being told I am the desired person for the position when it opens.  Am I interested.

hold on...this call came a year too early...my head is swirling...

Once this position is filled it probably will not be available again for many years.  Someone has to die, quit, or retire.  I still have a 4 year old in preschool next year... It's so hard to find part time day care.  There are waiting lists. What about Summer time.
I had a plan...I'M NOT READY!
