I tried, I changed, but still am getting divorced!

You're right, CW! I guess it is a new routine and it will take a week or so. I need to remember that.

STBXH hasn't said anything about getting the papers together for the divorce paperwork. Guess he isn't in a rush...???

So I checked my horoscope and it was RIGHT ON for the events that transpired today.

If you go through the town, a journey of a few miles may take ages in the traffic. If you cruise round the big road that runs round the outside of town, you may get there more quickly, even though you cover four times the distance. Assuming, of course, that road works are not causing endless delays. And assuming too, that the town is actually crowded. Don't worry about finding the best way from A to B. Relax. There are upsides and downsides to all options today. The right choice will be the one you end up making.

First I talked to some teachers (THE TOWN) and told them that I would be willing to teach 1st grade if they needed me...but since there was no word from the principal, I thought maybe I should just "wait and see" because I could just stay in second grade...and someone else would be moved.

Then I decided that I needed to directly tell the principal (I CRUISED AROUND THE TOWN) that I would be willing because I realized I could find out sooner than later if I go to the source. The funny thing is that she now knows and approves, but can't tell me if she will switch me until they call all 105 students' parents to make sure the students are still showing up. (ROAD WORKS...which can cause delays!) And yes, there were upsides to staying in 2nd but like I said, the upsides to staying in 1st actually are better! I feel confident this is the right decision. (MY INTUITION!)
