new job

Wow, so it has been a crazy 2 weeks. I interviewed for my seventh job this summer and finally got one! So I am returning to the classroom and teaching first grade again! I am very overwhelmed with the amount of information being given to me at the moment but I did enjoy teaching my students today. So, maybe it will all even out. Eventually I will feel like I know what I need to know and in the mean time I'll just concentrate on the kids and do what I think is best for them.

My own children have been wonderful little helpers. They have changed buses to accommodate me and have asked to help clean up the classroom and help decorate for me. Hopefully their enthusiasm over the whole situation will continue long after the novelty wears off. Maybe I'll be more organized soon and we won't have to be at the school as long. I'm trying to be optimistic:)

My 4 mile race is in the morning so I hope it goes well. If you are awake at 8:00 am tomorrow, wish me luck! I'll let you know how I do. Remember, my goal time is under 42:26. I just want to beat my old record. I have a little bit of a cold so I hope that doesn't interfere. Doesn't if figure, just a half day in a school building and I get a cold! At least I feel better than I did on Tuesday and Wednesday. Anyway, I'm off to bed to get enough rest, tune in tomorrow for the results....
