Back to Substitute Teaching*
Well, I’m officially back on the supply (substitute) list. I finally got things sorted out with this automated system, and again I find myself sorely missing my real-life dispatchers who used to call when there was a job to be had. This automated system is supposed to be more equitable and blah blah blah, but I’ve only ever had problems with it. You can’t change anything on your profile, and even when you try and call in for help, you’re just supposed to leave a message and wait for someone to get back to you. I miss my people. *sigh* Anyway. This morning was my first morning waiting for a…

A Little Project*
So, I’ve been working on a little something. I actually started it last winter, but then I landed my LTO and all the free time I had went out the window. I finally decided to finish it this summer, and I think it’s almost ready to show you. I know that the “blogging world” is a little foreign to some of you… but it’s a much bigger place than my little corner of the internet. There are some amazing online “communities”, where you can connect with other writers and find people with similar interests to you. It’s a great way to network, and it’s been through these communities that I’ve…

The Headboard: Before & After*
I’ve had a busy few days. And by busy I of course mean not really busy at all. My lovelies, I finally started watching North & South. And by “started watching” I obviously mean that I sat glued to my couch until I had watched the entire series. Oh my goodness it was SO good! I was devastated when it ended simply because it meant there wasn’t more to the story. *sigh* In other news, I’m now sixteen weeks pregnant and I fear the days of wearing my own clothes are limited. I’m still squeezing into my pants, but there is a growing pile of pants with top buttons who…

I Finally Heard*
Well, this morning I finally heard back about my interview last Thursday. That was certainly the longest wait I’ve ever had to wait for a response, and it was as I expected–I didn’t get the job. I was beginning to think that I wouldn’t hear anything at all, which left me a little concerned that I had completely bombed the interview. As in, I was so terrible that the school didn’t even want to waste time calling me to tell me I didn’t have the job. (My imagination is vicious.) Usually when a school calls to tell you that you were not the successful candidate for a position, they can’t get…

Long Weekend: Travel Report*
This post is coming to you from the Great White North! After a long eight hour trip, we arrived at my Grammy’s just before dinner on Friday. Ruby was a champ in the car–she watched the Wiggles, played with her toys and snacked and only fussed when she was ready to have a nap. However, when we finally got out of the car, she ran non-stop for three hours until she crashed at 7:30. I followed her into bed not long after. We woke up yesterday to some lovely northern weather–when we left the city, it was humid and hot. I’m pretty sure the temperature was hovering around or above…
