Man, I'm starting to have little panic attacks about the fall. So far there are NO positions for teachers posted for our school district... good thing that's what my degree is for. FABULOUS. Half the point of getting a teaching degree was that they always need them, wherever you go... argh. I knew this year was going to be a tough one for hiring, and there are a lot of us who just graduated with Elem. Ed degrees this year, but c'mon. I've put SO MUCH on the line in order to get this degree, I worked SO HARD for SO LONG. I just want a SHOT at a position. If I could just get an interview, I would be SO happy. But there's not even a chance of that unless they post some damn openings. :(
That being said, I have no idea what I'll be doing once school starts up.. obviously I will sub if I don't get a FT position, but I'm not sure how all of that will work out with Milo and school or daycare... I plan to keep Kasin at Denali, even though I'm really hoping to move by early fall... just me and the kids... I can't really move if I don't have a job... and I don't know how it would look on applications if I'm a substitute and work "as needed." I'm also not sure if I would get CCA at all if I sub, and how they would cover me if I'm "on call." :-S
My life just feels stuck in limbo.. so much out of my hands. Not sure how to feel secure or what to do... except write. I've been feeling like writing a lot lately, but I don't know that I could carry anything through to the end... I was recently thinking about Young Adult novels, or children's chapter books. Maybe I'll fool around with some kids' stories and see what happens. Maybe I'll just never finish anything... it would still be a good reprieve from life.
Babysitting was alright for the first week, we definitely survived it. The kids are all really good, thank heavens. I didn't get the 6 and 4 year olds I was hoping I'd get :( Oh well.. I had another lady email me about her two kids (6yr old girl and 3 yr old boy) for two days a week. extra $100/week if it works out.
Wish me luck. I'm so flipping stressed. Sigh.
