I just need a job that does not take me for granted and that is what is happening now. Don’t get me wrong, it was great being here while Jake was little but now he is in grade one and I need to use the stuff I went to school to learn in a position that will make me feel valued and important to the whole system. I am not looking to make a ton of money – just love what I do.
Boy oh boy

I have been doing this like mad. I have read so much this summer simply because I didnt work as much and because my son and I spend a lot of time at the beach. It is tempting to just read a magazine there but I find that I get a lot read if I take a novel. I have also discovered people I didnt know existed.
