opportunity knocks
I joined a Mom's club in our area. A woman who hosted a playgroup pool party* turned out to be a local high school English teacher. She said the high school, which starts on Monday, is desperate to find another credentialed English teacher. It's my dream job: close to home, high school, and without the extreme poverty (and violence) of my current district.
So now the question is what am I willing to give up? I could break my contract and still live with myself as long as it doesn't jeopardize my future career. I wouldn't mind walking in after school has already started and playing catchup with the students. But I'm reluctant to leave my one-month baby quite so soon. I'm hoping they interview me, and hire me to start at the end of October.
But first they have to call me back.
*L had a blast splashing around in the pool. Too bad she doesn't get the chance very often.

Oh, I hope that everything works out for you!!
Thanks! I'm trying not to get too excited in case it falls through, but the possibility is thrilling.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Sounds like a great opportunity!
Good luck! (It's always easier to find a job when you already have one.) I hope you get it!
