Thanks, Sally. I think I'm just going to have to "suck it up" and get out there. With everyone's advice, stories, etc I'm feeling more brave and confident.
Thanks again ladies!!!!


Twin- I teach at Broadmoore in Moore. My commute will take me from the NW side, down Shields (I love 3 lane roads- nobody can complain about me taking up too much room) to 4th, then a little jog over to school. It's dumb, but the road 3/4 mile right around the school is the scariest part traffic-wise (narrow 2 lane road with lots of traffic). Pretty great that you teach Art at the high school. I've taught elementary and middle school (never again at the middle school level), and think one day high school might be worth a try. I hear they turn normal again after their brief time spent in the "formative" years of adolescence.
