Stressed Out...and it Shows!

So, I've been fighting a migraine headache since last Saturday. I've tried everything I can think of...over the counter meds, not eating specific foods, going for a therapeutic massage...I even went to the doctor yesterday and he gave me 2 shots in the butt...the headache is not as bad, but it's still there and I'm groggy as all get out! So, I've come to the conclusion that it is a result of the stress in my life. As most of you know, I've been trying to get a teaching job since I moved back from Idaho over a year ago. I've sent out application upon application (45 just this year to the Seattle School District) and haven't gotten anything yet. I've been on a few interviews, but they always tend to hire someone with "a little more experience". I'm so frustrated...I just want to scream! When I tell people I have my degree in Special Education, everyone says "Oh, you are in high demand...you should have people bowling down your door to come work for them." I know! That SHOULD be the case, but it's not. I just can't get a teaching job.

And, I don't want to be at my current job. I enjoy the work, my team-mates, but that's not where my heart is. I'm a teacher without a classroom.

On a more positive note, I have an interview next Tuesday for a full time ASL position with the Issaquah school district. We'll see what happens with that.

So, in order to de-stress, I'm going to try blogging. We'll see how THAT works.
