I am an idiot 🤦🏼‍♀️

Not sure if I need advice or not (would appreciate any and all though) but I had to share here to someone who may understand.

I am a 3rd year teacher and have had a pretty easy start. I love my coworkers and feel supported by my admin. However, I HATE my commute. It's 45 minutes and draining. I recently applied to the district I live in, and pretty quickly got an interview at a school literally half a mile from my house.

Naturally, I want to work there because hello, I could literally walk to work! I had the interview, it went super well. I really really like the principal and got great vibes. It actually seems very similar to my current school. After the interview, the principal asked if I had resigned by May 1st. I thought that was strange, because I assumed I had until July 15th. They told me they really want me but I should check with HR. Long story short, I contacted HR and my union and if I resign, my license will be suspended because I'll be breaking my contract. I have been heartbroken for days. I am requesting a waiver for extenuating circumstances (my husband began a new career in emergency services and it has caused a strain on our childcare, or lack thereof). I have small glimmer of hope, but I'm expecting the worst. Has anyone else ever dealt with this? I feel So stupid for not knowing and getting myself in this situation!
