Decision Time

Well I was offered the job in Brady.  Starting a computer/technology Middle school program.  I am flattered, nervous, and unsure.  Is  this the best for my family?  Is this where I am suppose to go?  I have until Friday to decide.
I still have about 45 applications out, interviewed at the region center last week (hopefully will know soon), and am waiting to see about interviews other places.  So what do I decide? IDK?!??!?!?
I am not just deciding for me - I have my sons to consider.  They are both now on board about possibly moving (even a little excited), but as a parent I have decide for ALL of us - oh to be young and free again!!!
So I will make list of pros and cons, I will ask my friends & my family, and I will always wonder - Did I make the right decision.  It is HARD being a grown up!!!

Wish Me Luck

Tomorrow I am going to my first full fledge interview in my quest for new employment.  I have attended a job fair, I have filled  out so many applications I could do it in my sleep, and may have, but tomorrow I will actually drive to Brady and be interviewed by the Principal for a new computer position he wants to start.  I am both excited and nervous (hence the fever blister-yuk).  I HAVE to find a new job, I DON'T want lose my friends.  I know finding a new job doesn't make you lose friends, but it will not be the same not seeing them everyday. BLAH!!!!!
Again, I HAVE to find a new job.   I can not spend an entire year teaching something I do not believe in, and I do not believe in the Math TAKS test.  I do not believe it prepares our kids for anything outside of school.  It does not  even prepare them for college.  So I can NOT spend and entire  year being a hypocrit and tell my kids "You need to learn this.  This is important.  You will use this all your life"  All BULL!!!
So wish me luck on my first of hopefully many interviews.  (I have another one next week!!!)
