The school year is getting started

  We've joined a new co op.  It's called TWIGGS.  We actually went to a few of their open play dates last spring, and enjoyed ourselves.  So this year we submitted an application.  It's nice in that they take applications yearly, so that they can weed out the folks who never participated the year before, or moved away.  It keeps the group small enough that the families get to know each other, yet large enough where there is a variety of activities.  We have a beach play date coming up next week.
  We also have orientation with the co op we were in last spring.  Our boys are both taking an art class and book club, and then Superman is taking a herp class.
  This year we are also officially registered as homeschoolers.  This past week I printed up some review work to go over, and we've done a few worksheets.  Just slowly getting back into our school pattern.  We'll be doing a little more this year, and it looks like it may be busier with field trips.  I am also working part time, so it's going to be an adjustment, but I'm confident everything will work out.

What to do

  Okay, so I quit the last job I had.  The woman was just not a nice person.  When I quit, she left me such a horrible voice mail full of profanity, that I can't believe she considers herself a good Christian.  Oh well.  I've had another interview for another stable.  It's a nice one.  There are a lot of clients, and some who are never around, so it would be nice to be able to work their horses.  I have a reception interview and have called a vet clinic about setting up an interview.  A lot of interviews.  I feel very, very stressed out.  I had thought finding something a few days a week would be okay, but I feel pressured to find more.  I was working over full time at the last job I had, and it was so disrupting.  I just don't know what to do.  I feel like I need to put my family first.  Yet if I'm away from them, how do I do that?  The boys are thrown off.  They don't see their buddies.  I don't see my friends.  How would I homeschool?
