My "day off" agenda
~ Back to H&R Block... keep good thoughts.
~ Arizona Department of Education to get them to fix my teaching certificate because the one they issued last year was WRONG. Plus I can get all my endorsements on it; and hopefully those will help in the job search... again, keep good thoughts.
~ Social Security Administration because a million years ago I lost my card and I really really really need to just get one. I will need it for job hunting and job accepting... yes, keep good thoughts.
~ Baskin Robbins. Double scoop, chocolate chip and something decadently chocolate.
Besides all that - which doesn't sound like much maybe, but the last two places are downtown and require a wait in line that may be who knows how long and we all know that waiting is not my strong suit - I need to do my lesson plans and I really could try to get the essay written for this application to one of the other districts that is sitting on my desk... If I could do that this morning instead of staring out the window contemplating my long day I could maybe get it turned in today... But, ugh.
I don't want to have to be doing this! So I'm fighting it a little. Plus I hate writing these application essays! "What are the most important personal and academic characteristics of a teacher?" "At the end of your first year of district employment, how will you determine whether or not you have been successful?" Gag me. GAG ME.
Thing is, I don't have much of a choice. I HAVE to get a job, so I HAVE to suck it up and write bull-poopy essays and go on interviews and even consider going back to a career I left so I could be a teacher. I don't wanna!!! (Mom would recognize that phrase as the precursor to throwing myself on the floor dramatically and crying to ensure maximum attention, followed by milk and cookies.) Sigh. I don't wanna.
Speaking of mom... DVT in both legs so she's back in the hospital. In the midst of all this uncertainty, one thing is very certain. If I'm needed, I'm going to VA, and everything else will just have to fix itself.

Oh girl... I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. Yes, applications are not an easy 'fill in the blank'... but set a time/goal/treat afterwards and tackle it head on!
I am sorry to hear about your mom being back in the hospital, but they will take good care of the DVT's...and that is where she needs to be right now to get better.
I'm keeping prayers and good thoughts heading your way!
And thank you for your sweet comments... I am so glad to know that I am not the only crazy girl who's smudged her house! How coolt that you even knew what it was!! : )))
