Zen, I was actually fantasizing about resuming my career (which is not teaching, BTW) a bit this year, with DS in school. I've thoroughly enjoyed being with my DC before they started full-time school(and have been fortunate to be able to), but I was thinking of taking on some actual paying work. wink

Still, I've been feeling pretty torn about doing that, because I feel as though my DC still need my attention (even if just with afterschooling), so they can make some progress this year. It is not a great feeling.
