I have completed all of the training necessary to be a teacher in the State of Texas. I've applied at just about every district in a 30 mile radius from my house. I've sent mulitple emails to every principal of every Elementary and Middle/Intermediate/Junior High School in those districts. I've called in every favor, every reference, every friend who can help me in some way to help me in some way...
Talk about a tough job market... not a single phone call... a few 'thanks, but no' emails...
I'm not discouraged... Teacher inservice doesn't start for another three weeks... that's plenty of time to interview, get hired, submit two weeks notice, and start a new job, right?
If I weren't totally confident that this whole "become a teacher" thing was God's idea first... I would be worried, discouraged, and frustrated...
Instead I think I'll iron my interview suit... Noah built the ark before the rain started, after all...

Happy New Year 2010
Unofficial Poll - which sounds better 'twenty-ten' or 'two-thousand ten'?
I have always been adverse to New Year's Resolutions because so many people treat them like a joke... and I don't want to vow to do something falsely...
So - in a moment of introspective resolve that coincidentally is occuring on the cusp of a new turn of the calendar - I am making some goals in hopes to change my life for the better...
We all have them - those rooms in our houses that are never presentable. Company comes and that particular door is shut tight (locked even). My bedroom is just such a room in my house and I want it to be better... I'd like to get it clean and organized and actually keep it that way.
I've been completely off track in my weight loss - Rather than calling myself a failure at weight loss... I'll say I've been a success at weight gain! I had lost 35 pounds in 2008, I gained 25 in 2009... one step forward and two steps back... I'm not making a big 'diet resolution' but I do have a goal of getting more active and making more purposeful food choices.
There are others - but these are the ones I'll share for now... and so on this day that just happens to fall in January I am saying 'its time to make a change.'
