Truth be told, I don’t actually know the words to that one; Annie always annoyed me.

Good news! Tomorrow, I have a job interview. It is with the principal of a high school ten minutes from my house. The open position is for an 11th and 12th grade English teacher. I cannot believe how nervous I feel already. That must mean I want the job.

In other news, the (only) other female attorney in my office just resigned. Her daughter is three months younger than mine and she was dealing with a lot of the same issues. She is going to do the at-home-mom thing for a while. I am very proud of her. I think a lot of people underestimate how hard it is to give up your career, even temporarily. I takes courage to say to the people you work with that your have priorities have changed. I struggle with it all the time. I know that “rearranging” my career to make it more family-family friendly is in the best interest of my daughter and my mental health, but that doesn’t make it any easier. I hope her decision brings her and her daughter much joy.
