I'm sure I've mentioned before just how much I love being home with Leah, but recently I thought of yet another perk: the ease of travel. Now, I'm not saying traveling with a baby is easy (I've certainly learned that), but scheduling our trips (now that I'm a SAHM) IS. After all, now we just have to work around Scott's schedule.
Take this weekend, for instance. We're heading up to NY for a wedding. Well, had I been working, I would have had to request personal leave, which probably would have been approved. I also would have stressed about creating lessons that a sub could follow/ teach. That of course would also entail assembling all of the necessary materials on top of compiling rosters and writing out basic procedures. Oh, and did I mention that I'd probably only be allowed to take two days personal leave? That would have REALLY been a headache, especially since we're not coming home until Monday (I suppose we could drive from Massena to VA in one day, but 9 hours is quite the drive).
So... because of my "new" profession, our family can actually travel when we'd like to, not when the school system dictates. Ahhhh, just one more perk.
