There are also a lot of long-term sub positions for maternity leaves and such, so I'm sure you'll find something.<br /><br />As you may know, my mom went back to school full time when I was in high school, and I know it must have been tough for a momFarmer's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04993260095409544097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-82170759130946179802009-08-15T15:59:47.925-04:002009-08-15T15:59:47.925-04:00Abbie, You do have a full roster this fall!

Now it feels good to "accomplish" something. But, I pulled out a stack of books to read, so I predict some long, lazy hours of novel reading in the next couple of weeks! :)Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582731584317660272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34352399.post-33155328890855641632009-08-15T12:13:23.584-04:002009-08-15T12:13:23.584-04:00Looks great!
