Once Doug was offered his new position we decided that it was time for me to resign. We had talked about it all year. We were ninety percent sure that I would not be returning for the next school year, but wanted to take time to come to an absolute decision. I met with Cindy in March to let her know that I definitely would not be available to teach full time next year. She and I discussed several potential part time positions, but in the end Doug and I thought that the best decision that we could make for my health and for our family was for me to resign completely.
I was relieved once I wrote the letter. It was a big decision and one that I did not take lightly. I know in my heart that it was the right decision. This year had been a challenging one. With large class sizes to go along with all of the everyday teacher workload, I had been coming home exhausted every day. This year it had been hard to get much done around the house and on days that we had a Heinisch child commitment after school I was completely wiped out. I am excited for our family. With Doug's change in jobs and my ability to stay home, it should be a great year!
