Good Job News

While all this craziness is going on I am having some success on the job front, thank goodness! I interviewed with the county board of education and they have approved me to teach in their county. I am so glad! Now I start interviewing with the principals at the elementary schools. I am interviewing with my number one choice school on Monday! I called and left a message and within half an hour I got a call back to schedule the interview! I really love the principal of this school and the teachers seem so happy to be working there. It seems like a very supportive and positive place, and that is just what I need in my life right now.

I had spoken earlier about working at the private school that Evie is going to next year. But in light of the circumstances now I am not going to try for that job. I need the extra money and health benefits and retirement benefits.

One of the great things about working for the county is that once I finish my Masters I will get a $9,000 a year jump in pay!! That is a lot of money!

The only drawback to working at the school I want to work at is that I can't take Evie to her school everyday. That is really a bummer for me on many levels. First of all I really want to be able to talk with her teachers and meet her friends and just be involved with that part of her life. Second, I don't want to have to burden Grammy and Gramper to take her and pick her up everyday. As a result of my concerns I am actively seeking ways to get Evelyn to school that are efficient and smart and safe. If I can't find a way to get her there under those conditions then I am going to look into putting her in a different school or setting while I am at work so that I (or Ben) can take her and pick her up everyday. I will keep you all posted on that as the situation progresses.

And just to keep you all happy I have some pictures of Evie with one her new favorite toys, my purse!
