Some good news...

I got a job!

Some of you may remember I went back & got my library degree (stbx asked for a divorce the week after I sent in my application). It was a total pita to get it done in a year, and I found a sub position from January - June. It's tough to find librarian jobs since there is only 1 per school, and thought I'd be interviewing all summer.

So I'm going to be an elementary school librarian!

It's really ideal right now...close to home (stbx is unreliable, so this was important), in the same district as dd so same calendar, and a tenure-track position so permanent if I do my job well (which I will ) Also this school is on the early schedule and dd's is on the late schedule, so while I'll have to find something for her for about an hour in the morning, I'll be able to meet her bus everyday when she comes home.

My life is actually starting to fall into place a bit!

Awesome! And tenure-track to boot, that's great. I have also heard that those jobs can be hard to get so you are obviously an impressive candidate. Good for you.

Thanks mamas. It's so different in determining which job to take when you're a single parent & I'm really glad to have found it.

Yesterday when dd got off the bus from camp I told her mama got a job & she asked where, so I said right here. She started jumping up & down excitedly & then said "OK, let's go get a kitty" I told her months & months ago, when I first started looking that we could get a pet if I got a job close to home. What a memory on that kid!

Gwen, I must have missed this message, I didn't see it till now. WOW
I am so excited for you. I'm slightly jealous too cause I think being a
school librarian would ROCK! I'm really happy for you.
