Fun Times







































































Mothers Day came quickly, my second. That weekend we went and took Carson to get his second professional pictures taken. That was enough for my gift, getting Greg to agree was like pulling teeth. Yes, they can be expensive, but it is a good 'freeze frame' memory. Then Greg told me how he couldn't find anything for me...he wanted all these things, but nothing worked out. So he made me buy a new pair of Pumas! I love them! They are super comfy and I will need them to run after 5 year olds next year :) We had a fun, but VERY busy weekend.

I feel like we haven't been able to take a breath since then. Last night we went to the Tigers game, and much to our surprise, we were on tv. Our seat kicked ass! It was a blast, and made for a sleepy work Wed. None the less, I would do it again!

New Adventures

So, I took a shot at it...it was a long shot, and many people told me that, but I did. I went out on a limb. I applied for both gen ed openings in a different building. I would have to make new 'work' friends, jump into the gen ed realm, and work under a new 'boss'. So I just held my breath. I got a call Thursday about getting an interview on Friday. I did my homework. I asked around about who applied and which position they were interested in. I have decent seniority, but she was more experienced for the other position, which would have been my first choice. So my principal gave me homework. As I was reading through some of the material, I realized that it was a lot of what I already do. I think I like the idea of teaching kids, new to school, the fundamentals. Not only that but a half day, and then I would get fresh new faces. The thought of 50-55 kids on my caseload is daunting, but I think I could do it...the interview came quickly....my belly couldn't have handled it taking longer. They asked me to step outside after so they could discuss...I GOT IT!! Next year, I will be in a new building, but same district, teaching Kindergarten. I am excited for the new challenges!!
