Uggh, School starts next week

School starts next week and I still haven't found a school in my neighborhood. WTF? There are openenings, I'm a kick ass teacher, what's the problem. Since I am going for my principas's license, I think this has something to do with it. Schools are looking up my file and seeing that I have applied for the certification and I guess they are thinking I won't be able to teach for the next 45 years as some teachers seem to like to do. I'm saying, there isn't anything wrong with it if that is what one plans to do, but, I just can't see myself doing the same thing for like 40 years, that's almost ungodly. So, I guess I'll be tracking my fat ass up to the Bronx (uggggh!) every morning, at least until I find something closer. The good thing is with all of that traveling up and down the stairs EVERYDAY, I should be back to my old size in no time. The bad thing is, GOING TO THE BRONX EVERYDAY! What the hell was I thinking when I took this job?! I must be on crack.

Took three clep test last week for subjects that I have never taken and never studied for and passed them, then took a test this week, in biology and feeling all full of my self, failed :( by 7 points. That sucked. So, I guess I'll take it again. Really only taking these tests so that I can get paid a little more. The city has this thing if a teacher has her Masters plus 30 or her Masters plus 60 credits, she gets a pay increase. SInce I have a baby coming, I decided I need to make as much money as possible so, I am aiming for my the pluse 60 credits thing so that I can make 4,000 extra dollars a year. When one thinks about it, it doesn't really seem like much, but, it's 4,000 more than I would ordinarily get.

Came across the most interesting information. Apparently, mothers that can adopt children can lactate and breastfeed the child. I had no idea this was possible, I was under the impresssion that a woman had to be pregnant in order to naturally feed her child. I think that this is something I am going to do with my child. I came across all of these great sites about adoptive breastfeeding and that feels like something I am going to do. I always thought I would breast feed my children so this is a great discovery for me. I will begin the process of inducing lactation in about a month or so, once I get used to being at work again (in the fucking BRONX of all places) and once things get into a fuller swing with the baby. So, I am really looking forward to being a mommy. I almost can't believe it but, I am very happy. I can't wait.
