is balling up in the pit of my stomach. I’m wanting to teach so badly that if I got a teaching job there, I would move there. If not, I’m coming home. I can get a lower paying job here, I just hold out for teaching. Is that silly of me?

In the meantime, my neighbor has agreed to watch over kittens & guinea pigs while everyone is gone. My dad just has to let her know a day in advance and all will be fine. I have made great strides with all of them, I only hope a month doesn’t erase their memories.

Packing is such fun, I’m trying to pack with jobs in mind as well as holy, moly it’s colder there than Florida is!

Back to my thoughts on jobs. I’m hoping in a way I get a job there and in a way I’m hoping it’s like Florida has been to me thus far. Sad mix eh?

is the results of my fervid attempts at getting a job around here. I’ve applied in Okeechobee at the high school to no avail. Martin and Indian River doesn’t have any openings for my subject area while Palm Beach county let me apply to 2 openings but won’t let me finish 2 or 3 others. I plan to call on Monday to see if they’re still available. My sorority friend called to let me know the position reopened at her school, apparently the 30+ years of experience that this man had or for whatever reason-he just walked off on the job. This kills me. I want a job teaching and wouldn’t ever walk off the job. Kids are going to push buttons and you have to remain the calm, cool, collected one. I dressed up and went to drop off more application stuff, the principal wasn’t on campus for the day. I go in other times and get no where. I graduated from this high school and I’m getting treated like this?!!! Needless to say, I’m pretty disillusioned with the system here.

I’m flying up to Seattle, WA on Wednesday if a job hasn’t become available to me by then. I’m going to job search there and spend time with my guy. He hopes I get a job there and have to move whereas I keep hoping for a job here, so he’ll move. It’s a conundrum. Fun times lay ahead.

return to bad habits and give in to bad cravings. Over all, a lot of my cravings have subsided, its mainly chocolate and ice cream are my weaknesses still. My body has been changing a little from the walk/run’s I do on Saturday mornings and in not having the cookies. I drink lots of water still but seem to be at a stand still as far as losing weight. I get close, but then I get to starved point and just remain at same weight.

Any suggestions/meals/diets anyone trying that are working?
