or sanity AND prosperity elsewhere…***

So, I’m going to call my old boss on Monday, it’s what i really want, and that, i think, is important.  To be generally happy in life…  however, i do think that the answer I will get will probably not be what I am looking for.  In other words, it will be no.  I left with no notice and that cannot play well on my side, as well as the fact that i think they might have already hired someone else.. but we shall see.  If i don’t try i’ll always wonder.. or at least i’ll wonder for awhile..

I’m also looking a jobs elsewhere.  Elsewhere, as in, out of state.  I always wonder about the time the snow starts to fly, why exactly I am here.  It used to be that my family is here, and that is still part of it.  But not so much anymore.  my parents are divorced, my dad isn’t here, we dont all do nearly the amount of things all together as we  used to..  in fact, for practical reasons mostly, i’m seeing myself left out of things/events that I never thought I would be.  Frankly, yes, it is nice to have my family and my friends here around me.. but i don’t see my family "that" much anymore.. and my friends.. well, i don’t really see them either.  And i want to live somewhere where I can enjoy the weather most all the time… (yes, i enjoy heat!)  LOL, after living here a "winter" in the Carolinas or florida will feel like a cool summer day.. =)

So i’m looking for a job in the south.. actually, we are kind of considering Vegas as well.. not sure about that one though.. All of our choices require more research, but if anyone in any of these areas.. particularly the Carolinas.. esp. Myrtle Beach area.. or Florida..particulary the Tampa/Clearwater area, that are hiring teachers.. please, please pass along the information.. 

thanks!
Well i did it.. 

I sent my old principal an email asking if she filled my position and if not, if she would consider hiring me back to fill the position… I really do suspect the answer to be no.. but that’s ok.  At least i know i tried and I won’t have this "possiblity of escape" from my current situation weighing at the back of my mind..

Really my escape plan is probably going to be moving out of state.. 

But at least i can say i tried.. i’ll keep you all posted..
me..
