Frustrated

In ma, in order to be a music teacher, you have to take the communication and literacy mtel and the music mtel. We were told throughout our education that MA licensure would be applicable in pretty much every state.  Well it's not true. In Virginia, they require the VCLA and the music content Praxis. 
So this is more money and more testing. So currently I have to study and pay for 2 more tests and a licensure application so I can maybe apply for a teaching job. 
For music therapy, I need to take my MTBC. Also more money and more studying. 
I've applied for numerous sitter/nanny positions, because I don't want another job that I'm not passionate about. 
I'm sick of people suggesting I should get a job. 
I've worked my ass off for the past 21 years. Right now I have some decisions to make. 
Instead of getting a job right now, I may go back to school, either for a third bachelors degree, or for a masters. I've only been graduated for 3 weeks now. I haven't had a real vacation in years. I've just moved away from friends and family into a trance place. I have a lot of stress currently and I'm not willing to take a job that will stress me out more. 
Evan and I can manage our money well and can live off one income if it is necessary. 
I want to have time to breathe. I also want to take a break. I need time to adjust before rushing into another big thing. 

Blog everyday in June catch up

June 4 something/someone that makes you happy

The biggest person who makes me happy is my husband. He's been my best friend since 2007, and I can't imagine life without him. 

June 5: home
My new home is in Norfolk, Va. We're renting a house with Alexis and her husband!
My real home is wherever Evan is. 


June 6: 3 ways to win your heart
I'm not entirely sure. My heart has been won for such a long time, I wouldn't even know where to tell someone to start. 


June 7: if you could have one superpower
If I could have one superpower, I would want the superpower to instantly fix problems. I've always been a fixer, and I would love to help others to fix their problems. Whatever the problems may be.



What you should know about me

When I'm really listening or engaged in a conversation with you, intend to interrupt. A lot. I get too excited about what you said and what it reminds me if, and I forget my manners and interrupt. 
I talk incessantly about Evan. He's been a part of my life since 2007, and its hard to not talk about him!
If I'm angry, frustrated, sad, etc I need to talk, vent,whine about it to work through my emotions. I can't let things roll off my back, I have to talk through them. 
I can get really OCD when I'm upset
I'm currently going through a life crisis. I don't know who I am without the student label.
