Looks like I'm here to stay... as Mr. Mom! I can't afford to pay for daycare, and I need that to go back to work. So here I stay, leeching off of unemployment and looking for ways to make money as a stay-at-home-dad. The universe apparently wants me to stay at home with my kids. I'm seriously contemplating running a home preschool. Just to give Kid B a chance to make friends, socialize, learn some more of what I try to teach her anyway but in a more structured environment. And make a little money on the side. While I'm doing it, I'm going to blog about it. As a matter of fact, I'm going to switch gears in this blog and go full on Zen Diablo's Devils and Angels Preschool at least once a week! Catchy, huh? Well, I'm still working on the name. And an ad for Craigslist. And a lesson plan. It's actually pretty fun.
At first I toyed with the idea of a daddy daycare, but let's face it: I am not one of those people who can deal with someone else's kids for eight to ten hours a day. Shit, after that amount with my own kids alone I want to go outside and scream at the top of my lungs half the time! Don't get me wrong, I love my kids. But let's be real, sometimes it can get frustrating. So, I changed my mind and thought, "Hmmm, maybe preschool, but in smaller doses than normal daycare/preschool." More like four hour preschool sessions, complete with music, art, story time, recess, games, and even snack time. I can only take on two or three kids plus my own. For four hours a day, I think I can handle it. A little bit of fun and games, and lots of learning. Hey, maybe that will be my slogan.
I don't know. I'm tired. It's 2:00AM right now... this is the only time I get to write. It's too hectic during the day with the kids and the new house to write! I've taken to using the digital recorder on my phone to start posts, but I never seem to get back to finishing them. Maybe now I will. Until next time, when I will hopefully be promoting my new endeavor...
