I have lived in this town for almost 18 years. I have watched this town grow to 18 school now. Many say I am one of a country soul, from the old part town. My friends and I have been best friends since 6th grade and maintained that closeness since. As most of you know I am a TA, not to be confused with "Tossedaside"(LOL) working with highly functioning special needs students. I love my job, and well damn good at it to or I would have gotten Paraprofessional of the Year last year. I love the people I work with, always cheer people up, do the the "big stuff" at my job like I said in the last journal entry. I do alot of extras for the staff like make flavored coffee on Fridays and write and put together shows at the end of the semesters to ease the craziness. So yea I am kinda the "fun girl" at work. The teacher I work with went on a long and good interview for another district closer to her house for a job. She said such good things about out teamwork and partnership then spoke so highly of me the principle offered me a job with her or without her. We heard last week it was a possiblity and today she said here you go. I call her the teacher I work with, but we have worked side by side together for 3 years so now she is one of my closest and best friends. So now I hav eto decide if I am going to continue to work side by side together or stay here where I am comfortable and settled. The catch is they pay more and the benefits are better but I will have to move and my hubby will have to drive here to work. It's not too long, only about 40 minutes or so. I just can't due to schedule and can not stand the traffic. So he says we can move and he will drive. I would be close to my rocking sister you all adore so much as do I, and much closer to my dad. My mother is moving next year out of state, so I feel the need to move close to someone. I thought my daughter would have a problem with it and she is cool. The only person with the problem is my dearest and closest friend and it s only because she loves me and afraid we will drift apart. I guess I am afraid I will make the wrong choice or just be forced to grow up. I have a great boss now and have never met the principle offering the job, never even spoke to her. I think I will go visit her and the school next week or so. What are your thoughts?

go with ur gut feeling on this, there are never coincidences in life, only opportunities and if they are the right ones or not, go with ur gut, if you h will do it and ur daughter is cool, if the friendship with ur friend is meant to continue it will, no matter the distance.

Making a change is sometimes hard, but sometimes you have to take a risk in life. Stepping out of your comfort zone grows you as a person and helps you to realise what you can achieve. It's great that your family are supporting you. Go to see the school. If you are finding the decision difficult write all the benifits and possible down sides on a sheet of paper. Don't let fear stop you, you will not loose touch with your friend - she will only be 40 mins away and there is that marvelous invention, the phone. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

I agree that you should go meet the new principle first. That could make or break the deal. Other than that, if everyone is up for it and it is an opportunity to better yourself, go for it...............

had not commented on this journal up til now, for reasons I would rather hold to myself. Your title sparked me this morn, the chicken part anyhow. The old adage "which came first the chicken or the egg" its never really been answered has it? we all experience the FEAR FACTOR and sometimes just eating the gross stuff on TV would be much easier than facing the fears of moving, a new job etc. Ive commented b4 that I envy you in certain ways, your fresh start and feelings of "I'm not quite sure" are only fair, you take that leap gal. As lynn says above your advice and comments are strong, thus they could only come from a strong woman. Continue along this path and riches will abound for you, your family and loved ones. Im very proud to have you as a friend, and anyone who comes in contact with the comet shall have joy in there lives. thanx for giving this chicken the ability to look ahead

i agree you should go meet the principal at the other school! before you make any descions. but, you know, you sound so much like me. i grew up in a small town in alaska. new everyone, and childhood friends...but i was also in a rut, a comforatable rut, but a rut none the less. my friends were the hardest on me. but i decided it was something i had to do and closed my eyes and moved 5000miles away. so mabey if you meet this principal and decide you like what you see, i say decided what YOU want, what will be good for your family, then close your eyes and take a step in faith!! the nice thing is you will still be close to your friends! =D let us know what you decide!!
