Ha. Ha. Ha. Dont make me laugh. I have been worried about nothing apparently. My last two posts were me being wendy-worry-wart about coaching a highschool dance team. Well, I talked to a couple of current coaches at other highschools, and some that have previously coached at others... guess how much they make a month...
Can you guess??
Ok wait for it....
$300 a month!!!!!!!!!!
That would buy me gas. Thats it. I cant believe the school districts get away with paying $300 a month for a butt-load of time spent in the wee hours of the morning, trying to figure out bussing to competitions, trying to budget for costumes, trying to get the board of administrators to even give you funding for a bus, dealing with parents, and a whole slew of other things that take up ALL of your spare time. Not to mention I'd be coming from East Boise.
What a waste. So the guy is going to call tomorrow regardless, and unless I can get $1000 or more a month (yeah right) then darn it, I wont do it.
If that is all they are paying, then this is a job for a wife who doesnt have work who is local. Perhaps if this job was in Boise, then I would try and haggle for $500 a month, but whatever.
Screw this idea. Thanks for the support everyone... Its good to know I've got good people to bounce ideas off of.

That makes your decision easy! I do worry that you seem to be willing to put your interests aside if you feel it makes you less than a perfect wife. A great marriage is when both husband and wife have interests outside of each other, and do things that ful fill them as individuals. This in turn makes the marriage stronger as both are happier people. Trust me on this - I was married and divorced in my 20s. I am now in a long term marriage (14 + years) and it is fantastic because we are very happy people and have interests outside of each other.
Linda, thanks for your encouragement. The thing i meant about my being a good wife is that I already do enough dance and accounting and 8-5 day job among other things that are fulfilling and definetly keep me out of the house, I was just worried that one more thing piled on top of all that i do now would leave me enough time to sleep and not give my husband the attention I need. I am in a large way very thankful that I dont have to do this dance team thing, as much as it would be fun, the cons are outweighing the pros by a long shot.
