So, I have not blogged in a few days. I've been very busy taking care of my family. Jim, Brittany, and Lilly came home for the weekend. We had a very nice visit.
Class started tonight. It went well. Seems like it will not be too hard. It was nice to see everyone again. We have two people expecting babies and two that just had one. There really must be something going around or in the water. At my school we have five ladies pregnant and two that just had babies. We have maybe three that will be trying to get pregnant in the next year. In all the years I have been at my school that is by far the most babies ever.
Since I have been at my school this is also the most turn over we have had. Many people leaving, retiring earlier, or making a move away from our building. There are many different reasons for all this movement, but there is an underlying theme. I have been there for 16 years. I think I am getting old now. I can remember when I arrived I was one of the younger teachers and I always looked up to all the older ladies that had been there many more years than I. Now I think I am one of those older teachers. The young ones are probably saying, "Wow she's been here forever, wonder when she's gonna retire?" Seven years baby!! Seven years. It's a great feeling knowing that you have more years of work behind you than left in front of you. When I am finished with my Masters, I want to explore some new job positions, eventually making it to Assistant Principal. I don't really know if I want to be the Principal. It's a hard role to take on. It's a lonely position to be in. It is very hard to have friends at that level. I enjoy my friends and need them in my life. I wouldn't be where I am today without the help and love of my friends. Thanks to all of you.
I feel like I must say something about this weather. It's very frustrating to me. If it is going to be cold it needs to snow. It is Winter and in the Winter it snows. Last year was the year of NO snow. So it's only fair that this be the Winter of a lot of snow. It can be a several different snows of moderate proportion or a couple of extremely deep snows. I'm not really picky as long as it snows, I can watch it snow, and I get out of school. Very simple...I'm easy to please!! What does the Farmer's Almanac say about the Winter for this year? Anyone know?? Is it ever right? I don't know why I am asking all these questions, I never get any answers.
Watching Transformers...need to add that to the list of favorite movies...watch it every time it's on. It's getting close to that time.
Night all,
KK
