Hiking in Alaska

It is the beginning of april, the dawn is at 5:45am and dusk is at 10:15pm. It is sunny and beautiful outside. I loved winter too, the snow makes everything so beautiful. But I am especially excited about spring. The fresh air does wonders. It relaxes and invigorates at the same time. It reminds me of how luck I am to be here, to have my family.

The end of the school year is fast approaching, which means we'll be going on more family outings and camping. That means I've headed back to the Y to help make sure that I don't die while carrying babies in the backwoods.
The end of the school year also means schools are looking or will be looking to hire for the next school year. So I've thrown my hat into the ring. Out of 25 applications, I've had one call back and interview. It's been ten days since the interview and I haven't heard a thing. Up until yesterday I was letting fear and anxiety rule over me. Why hadn't they called, did I do that bad, am I delusional thinking I did great? What's the deal? Then I felt hopeless. I know I'm a great teacher, but am I able to get that through in an interview? Maybe I'll never get a job again. It's scary how far off your thoughts can go if you don't have a handle in them. I'm better now, thanks to some sound advice from mike and a good sweat.
What happens happens, I'll be where I'm needed. Right now at this moment, I'll apply, but I'm here at home with my kids, painting toe nails, changing poops, and everything else that comes along with it.
