I have to share this! At tonite's homecoming football game, D14 (there to sing the National Anthem with the school choir) got asked by the band director to play cymbals with Pep Band for the rest of the season! And she's not even in band...freshmen have to choose band or choir. Inyerface, elementary music teacher!!! this'll be a stretch for my little introvert--but it'll be a good stretch, and her father the drummer can get her situated.

Last school year was just so incredibly awful--I'm so happy for her that things are going so well so far in high school!!!!

nothing new on jobs...this is just going to take awhile. gotta figure out options: borrowing from retirement funds or going on unemployment (which won't cover monthly expenses). My understanding is that you can borrow up to half of your retirement savings without penalty if you repay it in 5 years. any advice???
