"Oh, really? Where?" they always ask.
"Well," I hesitate, "that's a good question."
It's nearly August, and the only interview I've had was in a district that won't hire me because I'm too educated. I'm getting devastatingly close to another year of subbing, and it breaks my heart because I want my own classroom so badly!

And then Rachel came over last night, and we made guacamole and lowfat peanut butter banana bread. We watched Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion with Tom (because Rachel had never seen it, and an intervention was necessary). And even though it's not exactly a thought-provoking movie, it reminded me that the relationships I have in my life are way more important than my job title or relationship status. I'm holding on to that thought today.
On a semi-related note, Saturday is National Dance Day, and since I am dedicated to celebrating all national holidays, I'm going to teach myself my part in this routine:

Heard this song on the radio today, it struck a chord with me and I just was looking it up tonight and in another window reading through my reader of blogs and felt like maybe you'd like it too. "Everything you do, do it for His glory." Even if that's subbing and Zumba. And dancing!! :)
