Advice solicited:
I am sending resumes and cover letters to schools. I have principals' emails as well as snail mail. Do I just email the resume unsolicited or do I send a hard copy?
Don't I get a cookie?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're not responding to something specific? I think I'd mail a hard copy, but I'm old school.

Right, Jesse. That's what I was thinking. I don't want to spam potential employers, but nor do I want my resume never to make it to them.

while we are asking advice. Starting in May, I am going to need to have someone pick mac up from afterschool and bring him to my work place (30 minutes) once a week. Is that something that one can reasonable ask as a favor of a friend who is not working at that time, or should I just hire someone for 1 hour once a week?

msbelle, can you hire the non working friend?

msbelle, when Emmett needed some regular aftercare we found somebody on Craig's List that worked very well. You'd be surprised how many responsible people would be happy to collect $15-20 a day to transport a kid. (Often single mothers with their own kids, etc.)
