The Good News!

I realized, after all my complaining in the previous two posts, that I left out the really good news. The news that spurred all of our house hunting last week is that I got offered a job!!! I am going to be teaching fifth grade next year! Not only do I know where I'll be working, my new principal said I could bring Madeline to work with me, too. We just have to live in the county where I'll be working, and I won't have daycare costs or drop-offs or pick-ups for Madeline anymore! I am really looking forward to that. So, now that I have a job, we need to find a home in the county, which is what has led to the hours upon hours of driving from Southern Maryland to Northern Virginia.
