Woohoo Mumma T that's awesome news! Congratulations and I hope the job is fantastic for you.
Good luck with the grant application krysalyss! I totally understand re the homesickness. I just spent the last hour thinking about applying to a department that I already knew was completely wrong for me just because it would get me close to family and back in Aus.
Good luck leckert, I hope you get lots of calls soon! My son has had a relief teacher for the last year. Hope you get a similar long term relief job.

AFM I started trying to work this month (not actually employed at the moment but trying to finish my thesis and apply for jobs) but have had very little success. I'm still taking DS2 with me everywhere so I'm not always very productive and he spent 2 weeks in and out of hospital and is only just fully recovered. I guess I give it another week and see if I can manage to be a bit more productive now that things are back to 'normal', but I'm going to start looking into childcare possibilities. I really don't want to (both due to cost and cause I'd like to stay with him) but I'm also going to need to get some work done...
