Answer to prayer!

I wanted to post and update about my job situation. Last week I mentioned I only had 15 Mondays left. That has changed just a bit... :) I decided to talk to my employer about my transition out of here. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I have a 300 hour practicum to complete before April 27. Originally I was thinking that I would need to stop working at the end of February so I could be full-time out at my practicum site. And then once my practicum hours were finished I would get to stay at home with Kaiya until we move (wherever we move). Tony enlightened me that preceptorships (internships) are not paid. So... we would be without income from March - August. In light of that, I decided to give David the option of my last day being Feb. 28 or allowing me to work part-time starting next year. He decided that I could go part-time starting in December! So I will have every Friday and every other Thursday off to begin my hours at the practicum site. I will continue to receive the same benefits I did at the full-time level. This is such an answer to prayer! I am able to finish my Master's degree, continue to provide for our family, and possibly get in a little more at-home time with Kaiya once my practicum is finished. Depending on when/where we move, I will probably continue working here until or through May.

It's great that things have worked out this way. Where are you doing your practicum or do you know?
