I can see the light

I finally was able to get on the sub list for the local school district today. I am told my paperwork should be processed by Monday at the latest...so hopefully by this time next week, I'll be working.
That's about it for news around here...B is still in Cali.

Still Unemployed and lamenting home ownership

As the title of this post says, I am still without employment. I have an interview tomorrow morning, hopefully I will finally be put on the sub list.
In other news, Bryan has been out of town for what seems like forever. His job and his company suckith at the moment, and the buck apparently stops w/ my husband and his counterparts. The poor fellow has been living in a conference room in Orange Couty for the past few weeks with no apparent end in sight.
In other news, I made the horrifying discovery of rotten potatoes in the back of our pantry last night- they no longer bore any resemblance to a potato, and in fact were a discusting stew of nasty. I found these at the same moment that I discovered the dishwasher is in fact not washing dishes, but spewing water and bubbles up into the sink, leaving the dishes dirty.
This was after I tried to clean the carpets to no avail (11 years of former owners kids, and one year of our dogs have rendered them beyond repair.) and spent an hour vacuuming and dusting, only to turn around and feel like I needed to do it all again.
I called my husband and told him I wanted to be back in my little apartment and no longer wanted a house or dogs to clean...he did not appreciate this sentiment.
Finally, I am starting my first round of fertility meds today. El Doktor says that if we want kids, we have to start now, and because my system is not working, and certainly won't be in the near future...as such, I need reinforcements.
And that is what I know....fun, fun.

Did I Make the Wrong Decision?

I have filled out applications, submitted resumes and cover letters, taken aptitude tests and filled out form after form. I'm not wanting much, just the chance even to sub would be nice. And yet, the hoops and politics keep me from doing anything but sitting around frustrated. Now that I'm thousands of dollars in debt with nothing to show for it, I'm feeling like maybe I made the wrong decision. I thought I was a pretty good teacher. I have strong references, a solid GPA, and yet I can't even get my sub paperwork processed until the end of this month.
So now I wonder if I should have done something else, and not wasted years of time, stress and money. Good times.

Headline News...

If you have watched the news in the past couple of days, you will know that our very own Gig Harbor made headline news. Of course, it wasn't because the town is so beautiful, rather it was because we've been infected w/ West Nile Virus. A couple who live close to us have been diagnosed, so now we all have to be ever vigilant about using bug spray and wearing sleeves. The sleeve thing won't be a big issue as the high at our house today was a whopping 58 degrees!
In other news, we can't eat spinach either. To me however, this is no big loss. I've always been a little bit suspect of bagged greens.
Here at the Scott house, we sit with baited breath. I interviewed for a job Monday, and had not heard anything since. I assumed that I didn't get the job and subsequently went again on-line and began sumitting more job applications. However, at 4:15 this afternoon, I received a call from the Asst. Principal at the school where I interviewed, who informed me that they are still in process of making a decision, and I am still "in the hunt."
So I sit and wait, looking for more jobs, hoping something will soon come to fruition.
I applied to be a sub, but have now twice been bumped for my processing interview. I'm trying not to feel discouraged, but I really need to be working. This sitting around the house thing has become very old.

An update

My wrist, it turns out, is in fact not broken. They checked it again this past week and determined that I have a really bad bone bruise, but the bone remains intact. As such, the cast came off (yay) and I was told to use my wrist as mucch as possible without pain, in order to get the "pooling blood" to break up and go away.
I have been following doctor's orders, and so far feel much better, although I still have pain when I try to squeeze or hold anything in my right hand.
Also, I received a call yesterday morning from the middle school I student-taught at last year. They would like me to come in for an interview on Monday afternoon. Apparently whomever they had didn't work out, I'm not really sure, but I'm going in Monday to see if I can't get myself a job.
