Oh sweetie, you had nothing to worry about. I would be much more upset if you were pushing yourself to keep teaching when you knew you weren't doing right by the kids (not to mention yourself).
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

At the risk of boring you guys,

Ann, that's a ferret.
((((Erin)))) Sometimes, it takes a lot of courage to say, "I've got to get off this path because it's destroying me." So, what Pix said.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My oldest sister got her first degree to be a teacher, because that's what women did in the mid-70s. She tried it for a year, hated it, then went on to get a theater degree. She adored that, then realized she adored eating and not living in slums more, and picked up a business degree and a habit of world travel. Who knows where you'll end up, Erin?

“Not dead yet!”
You know, I loved teaching, but hated dealing with administrations and parents.
Come to think of it, I'm like that with writing, too. I love writing, but there are days I hate dealing with publishing.
That probably says something unflattering about me.

That you don't like bureaucracy? That sound eminently sensible, Barb.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
OMG I LOVE YOU ALL SO SO MUCH.
Yes, this is SO boring. Not.
