Almost there...Hopefully
So, I had a job offer in a great district earlier in the week.  I really couldn't believe that they picked me! It's good to be wanted.  But...I turned it down.  Why, you ask? Well, one big reason.  There is a 99% chance that I will be re-hired in my current district.  Different position, possibly different school, but same district none-the-less.  I decided to roll the dice and turn the offer down and hope for the best.  I asked the Supt. of my current district if my current position opened up if I could keep it.  I love the school, the staff, the location, the hours, and Lauren will be going there next year.  Her answer didn't sound like I could get my current job back.  I chalked it up to there are a million people in Illinois that can legally teach middle school Lit., but not so many that can teach ELL (where I thought I would be placed).  Well....today the Supt. called me today and asked what position I'd like more (Lit., current school or ELL).  I didn't even have to take a breath, I want to stay where I am.  So....it sounds as if there may be 2 possible job openings that I can take.  Isn't that great? I went from no job opportunities to three in a week! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  I know that things can always go crazy.  It's good to be wanted..let's hope everything works out!
