Well, all that schoolwork finally paid off.  Lisa started working as a teacher in October.  For a while there it looked like the job market wasn’t going to be kind.  But as often happens, something came up.  A half-day kindergarten job was available and after acing the interview, Lisa was hired.  She teaching morning junior kindergarten at a school just a few subway stops away from our house.  Which is great because she can be home when the kids get home after school.
