This was the first year that I have not been home once my boys got home from school. My 5th grader has stuggled a lot in school this year and needs extra attention with his dyslexia. He just neeeds more time and I started working at a local afterschool program and not getting home until 7:15 or so during the week. Our family needs the extra income and so I have been contemplating starting an in home business (photography/videos/custom collages) to possibly make a switch. My parents were photographers, so the switch is easy. It will not be a lot of money at first, but I can work around my boys schedule. Plus I am not sure the stability of my current employment as they are struggling as well. My heart is struggling because many of the kids where I work have no positive support or influence and they tell me all the time that I am their favorite teacher, I am fun, and I lecture them like I do my own. This is so hard.
