It is here....

Fall is here! I am so frustrated that I keep walking out my door without my camera! The leaves look painted, the forest is a patchwork, the beauty is in full swing! It especially cheers me on sunny days... "Look at that" and "Wow!" is all you hear me say as we drive down the road. Luckily my family tolerates me though they don't love the colors quite as much as I!

I have applied for graduate school. It appears that teaching jobs are still quite hard to come by... the stock market isn't helping any of those pondering retirement... So, my best course of action is to go on and get my masters degree. Hubby is still struggling between career decisions. The job he got this year (after 20 years in construction went down the drain) is not a career gig. It helps pay the bills, but it is not a career. I pray that he will make the decision soon. I know he will be happier when he is working toward a goal.

In the meantime, I am starting back for my masters because it will take two years minimum no matter when I start... so I might as well start NOW. I'm going for the media specialist position -- should I not be able to secure a teaching job I could at least be a librarian.
Old dogs can learn new tricks! Financially it is more than difficult, but if we keep marching forward I have to believe all will be well at some point! In the meantime I will buy a lotto ticket...
