PMS + Lack of snow day = grump!

Yeah, so i’m a grump today. 

Work was fine, but a couple minor things almost threw me into a panic attack.  One was simply figuring out how i want to plan out this next unit.  Yeah, not panic worthy. 

Then, of course, there’s the fact that when i’m not at work the hatred and loathing i feel for that place diminishes, it is replaced by a reluctant acceptance and appreciation for pay and good benefits.  Then, when i enter it again… well, you can guess.  This was only compounded by the fact that I’d had a glorious 11 days off..

I was trying to figure out why I am so cranky today.. well then i realized it.. AF is on her merry way.  soon i hope, i hate PMS anxiety.

So today, as I did this weekend, I spent more time applying to out-of-state teaching positions.  Yes, we are seriously going to move if I get a job offer somewhere.  I’m nervous about it, since here is all I know, but I can’t keep waiting for my "career home" to show up here since it just isn’t happening.  So far I’m concentrating on the Carolinas and Florida.  I’m also considering applying to Arizona.  I could use some dry heat in my life to counteract the 3 feet of snow outside my door!  So if anyone has any tips/connections or whatever that they want to share about these areas or teaching in them.. let me know.

My mom is still not doing well.. I only got to talk to her for a couple minute today.. She was in the middle of watching a movie at my grandparents house.  I’m not sure when the services are yet.

ok off to spend some time with my man.. and go to sleep.. night all.

Yeah I’m cranky for the same reason. We did the Carolina thing and its not really great I will tell you that. They don’t pay as well and there’s alot more taxes floating around and I thought NY was bad. ((HUGS)) to your mother

Arizona has no money! Seriously class size is insane. 29 kindergarteners with 1 teacher and a PT aide. SUCKAGE.

i think it’s crazy how i keep hearing about all these open teaching positions that need to be filled, but EVERYONE i know who is a teacher and looking for a job is struggling to find a good fit.
