An update from my life- I was offered the 20 hrs. at WHC, but really couldn't afford to make the switch. As much as I would love to- hubs works in a non-profit which is really "non-income". Same basically goes for me, but it's a little better then his anyway. We are pretty fruggle people already so there wasn't really any room to cut back, unless we moved, but it would cost us nearly 2000 just to get out of our current house, then whatever down on a new house (which is at least 15%) these days. We didn't really want to raise E at RPDr apartments- so, at least for now, I have accepted that I like my job. It's better then having our main source of income (mine) from 2 (or more) programs that have no gaurentees, or working at Wal-mart (and my month working at Target proves I do not have the mental stamina to survive the Holidays in retail)... They did offer the position at WHC again at 32 hours, but I still couldn't make it work. I really thought it would be great to get back into the thick of things in Music Therapy, especially working with you and M. But I realize, my job will never be perfect, and at least where I am at, I have a bit more flexibility to be home when I need to, stability, more income (only because it is 40 hrs vs. 32) and have more benefits that have built up from being there for 2+ years. I also look at the most important things in life and realize my job is not my life. There are much more important things. And those people and aspects of my life beneift most if I stay put for now.
I apologize to you. I really did want to get back into everything. I hope you are not disappointed in me.
As much as I really love Music Therapy. I could not make a choice to get back into it when I knew it would be mostly selfish and would not benefit my family as much as my current position.
