a tale of two choices

the school year is almost over where i work. we are busy with school plays and other end of the year events. i can't believe it was just 8 months ago that we started. time has flown by and i have enjoyed every moment. i am still thankful for this job everyday. it is so nice to love going to work. 

now, 8 months later, i am stuck in the middle of two great choices for next year. a decision that i am dreading to make. i can stay at my work and have a new position or i can go with michael to kindergarten as his private aide. 

st. george's has truly been great to me. my director is the best boss i have ever had. she is a great leader and empowers her employees to be the best they can be. there is a relaxed environment due to the bar of excellence in place that people actually strive for. there are wonderful teachers there that have become my friends. it is the kind of school i always wanted to work at. 

but we have michael. i adore michael more than i could ever begin to express to you. he has brought my heart great joy over the past 8 months. even when his behavior is not great i still love working with him. he, a 7 year old child, has become my best friend. he's my lil buddy. i love to see him grow socially and academically. sometimes i get discouraged, but then he just calls out "mrs. moore" in the most precious voice and comes running and gives me the biggest hug. his compliments to me are the best i have ever received. coming from him, i know they must be true. michael loves unconditionally and he encourages me to be like him. a heart so innocent and loving. he is great. 

so, a choice between two of the things i love. each with new responsibilities and challenges, but also with great joy. so what do i do? i have no idea... 

but i do know, that LOST is coming back on tonight. get excited! i know i am!!!
