im trying not to brood about the whole FB incident/bs from last week, but its starting to creep back up on my mind as monday approaches. supposed to get a call from my principal either tomorrow or tuesday…we’ll see if that actually happens.

ive been applying to schools as much as i can. i really need to print out my resume and cover letter and physically drop them off this week. my printer is broken (its been broken for quite some time…just doesnt feed the paper through for whatever reason), so i need to stop over to kinkos to actually print stuff out. im also worried about walking into a school with my pregnant-ness and ask about a job. its not like i can hide it anymore at this point. im also thinking it would be wisest going into a new school being completely open and honest. sigh its all so complicated…

i half want to ask my boss at ETM if there is office work for me this year. i can work on my unit plans for the following year, have less stress at work and might be able to do some work from home. i could even see if i can just do orchestra lessons or something…we’ll see. im hoping he calls me this week. if not, ill probably call or email him by wednesday, especially if i havent heard anything from my principal. the problem is money. the whole reason i was pushing so hard to get hired was about money. im not making nearly what i should be for my experience and my education. and with this baby coming…sigh im just getting worried.

everything in life comes down to money, right?

i saw there are 6 music teacher jobs back home i could apply to. id be back near my family, but away from friends. hubby would also need to look for a new job (which is surprisingly difficult). we would need to move again, but the cost of living would be less. we might even we able to move in with my parents for a few months until we get on our feet and find a house. the possibility of us actually getting a HOUSE would be more of a reality. there are so many pros and cons…i dont want to leave ETM and my friends and my life here, but if it was for the betterment of my family, then it would be worth it…right? maybe a couple of years upstate we could come back? i dunno…gonna talk more with hubby about it tonight. i might just post my resume anyway, just to see what happens.

id really love some advice here. im honestly freaking out about this whole situation. i could also use some prayers or positive thoughts or happy vibes…whatever you do! thanks.

later.
