  • Teaching is really really hard right now. I’m seeing so many new teachers who are leaving positions a few weeks in. If you’re really determined that it’s what you want, check back in a month or try a different district. Every district around me has tons of openings. Also, if a district doesn’t want you because of that, it wouldn’t be a good place to work. It wouldn’t be supportive of you or your kids and seeing kids be treated that way would be more soul crushing than not getting the job. Keep looking for the right fit.







  • I inherited my mom’s house and we’ve spend the last 8 months renovating. Finally moved in (although it’s only half renovated) a couple of weeks ago and put our house on the market. We’ve had a lot of sad feelings about leaving the house where we raised our kids, leaving our neighbors, and moving into something smaller. Yesterday I took off work sick. It was my first time since moving to just be here - not working, not cleaning, not moving boxes, …-just to be here alone, nap, and look out the window. I was happy to be here and able to let go of a little sadness about leaving the other house.
