Okay, so my goal of blogging at least a few times a week has not been as successful as I would like. It has been a crazy first half of the year to say the least. We, my husband B and I made a huge decision for him to change companies in these very uncertain economic times. The new job would include moving to St. Louis, MO and me potentially give up my current part-time teaching load, and moving our daughter S just before her freshman year in high school. Our son J is off to college so the decision was not as important for him. So…, he got the job finalized in February and we were off to St. Louis to search for a rental property and check out the new city. I have to tell you I have never done anything but drive through St. Louis let alone visited it. It appears to be a great place with lots of friendly people. We found a house, saw the new job site for my husband and found a home for our horses. With this taken care of I could move onto trying to find a teaching job.
Searching for employment is truly a full-time job, and while this does not bother me I was teaching at my local community college, in my LYS and finishing projects for clients – weaving…what is that? I have been walking past my loom longingly saying soon. I have one last project that has to come off before the moving van appears. Oh right, I also had to get three quotes for moving and take care of horses, children etc. I have been busy. Anyway, the hard work has paid off. I flew to St. Louis in mid April to interview for a part-time teaching job and spend a weekend with B. Yes I traveled for a part-time job. Anyone who is not willing to take what they can get in the present economy is, in my opinion….St*p*d. We do what we have to do. The job panned out and actually turned into a full-time teaching position with the contract signed 10 days ago. You never know what is going to happen, however, my willingness to travel for a part-time job payed off. YEAH. So throw into this mix B leaving Mid April, J’s high school graduation in June and taking care of three horses, one acre and two dogs, teaching and finishing the school year and private clients–well you get the picture.
I will do my best to blog during this busy time as we move at the end of the month. Have a great week and see you soon.
Mingled fibers and a little crazy at the moment.
