I have worked for one of those once before, and it was miserable. I eventually was hired in my home district, and I have liked most of the principals I have had since (and I have had a LOT!--Principals turn over like hot cakes here.) I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel for you. I think first grade would be a lot of fun though. They are so sweet and they still love their teachers at that age. :) Does your district have the option of applying for a voluntary lateral transfer if there is a job opening available? <br /><br />You house is absolutely beautiful! I love your dining set and that gorgeous tablecloth. The wood floors are awesome!!! You have great taste. <br /><br />Sarah Esh looks great!! I love that design. I have it in my stash, but I haven't started it yet. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress.<br /><br />Hope you have a good week!Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935111380330769183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925903488080175342.post-64572330401284437142010-02-28T16:51:50.693-07:002010-02-28T16:51:50.693-07:00PS, and I agree with Missy Ann, you might think ab...PS, and I agree with Missy Ann, you might think about editing your post, if your boss finds it...ay, ay, ay!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18197717203814124107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925903488080175342.post-55207401868621294262010-02-28T16:49:30.069-07:002010-02-28T16:49:30.069-07:00Good luck with the job search, Doris!

It's makes the whole working environment miserable. <br /><br />I love the new floor. Everything looks so crisp and uncluttered. Why is that with wood floors? You can have the same room with carpeting and it looks stifling, but the wood floors just opens everything up.<br /><br />Love your Sarah Esch - another great A&E - one that I hope to do soon.
