Typically, at some point I tell myself to sshhh (how do you spell that?) and listen to that quiet voice inside. It's been right for me so far!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083385378915842711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19671622.post-5603671515291357402008-09-28T13:38:00.000-05:002008-09-28T13:38:00.000-05:00I'm revising next year's book.

I'm pretty sure there's even a question about teaching somewhere else. We're talking a salary difference equal to the earnout on a H/S book. Even after gas, extra taxes, etc., I'm looking at several hundred more dollars a month. The question becomes is the $$$ and what that means for my kids worth more than the time I get with them b/c we're on the same campus close to our home. Would not having to struggle monetarily be worth that? It's what the great and wise Joey Lee calls the quality vs. quantity question. ;-)Linda Winfreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08904942939086659167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19671622.post-79082896945961953462008-09-28T13:20:00.000-05:002008-09-28T13:20:00.000-05:00I'm editing next year's book :)See now, here's my ...I'm editing next year's book :)<BR/><BR/>See now, here's my thought, cuz you know I have opinions LOL <BR/><BR/>Apply.
