Tid-bits

Hey friends. So a lot has happened since my last post. I've actually been working the past three weeks. So I thought I would just fill you in on the few things that have stood out to me.

-the people I work with are nice and funny
-I have some interesting little monsters..I mean students
-I have gone to the store three times for white out
-I dropped a basket on my toe at the grocery store yesterday.
-not during my class, but during the English teachers class one of our students picked a scab. It started bleeding. The child then took a goldfish cracker, dipped it in the blood and ate it.
-my toe is bruised from my basket drop and it hurts when I walk
-I like the consistency of taking my lunch to work.
-according to the scale in my parents bathroom, I have lost 30 pounds!
-I eat a Greek yogurt smoothie for breakfast on my way to work. Fruit, Greek yogurt, and water to thin it out. It is my favorite breakfast
-I eat a half sandwich for lunch with ham, cheese and mustard. And an apple. And sometimes a hard boiled egg.
-I have an 11 year old genius in my seventh grade class
-hard boiled eggs are great with lunch cuz they keep me really full for the rest of my afternoon.
-I am going to see mark in four days.
-when he remembers that he knows how to text, he sends me sweet things.
-he wrote '80 plus hours of work this week and I was thinking about you the whole time'
-swoon....if you listen real close you can hear my heart go pitter patter.
-dear heart has an abrasion on her eye. All hell has broken lose.
-Lewis the cat has insisted on meowing like crazy an hour before I have to get up.
-I had a dream about Kenny Chesney this weekend...what does it mean when Kenny doesn't look hot in your dreams.
-he reminded me of kid rock but uglier in my dream.
-who is uglier than kid rock?
-At the beginning of the summer I could barely zip my bridesmaids dress. It is currently being taken in. Whoa.
-I tell Caroline she is my best friend and then proceed to give her lots of kisses
-I like some nights by Fun.
-I have been listening to it on repeat the whole time I've been typing this post
-sometimes I think I want coffee. Then I think that I feel so good after my smoothie that coffee would ruin my smoothie hangover
-sometimes coffee gives my stomach issues. And it makes me sweat.
-the other week I hadn't shaved for a full week. I sent Kathy a picture of my hairy legs.
-it has currently been two days since my last shave... I better get on that by Friday.
-guess I gotta get spruced up for my man.

The end for now. I hope I can have a dream tonight about a hot Kenny Chesney, not a white trash mullet kenny.

Job!!

Sooooo I got a job today!!! I couldn't be happier!!
So the job is at a charter school about 15 mins from my parents house. The school has only been open a couple years so it's still pretty small. That means that I'm the only social studies teacher for the middle school grades(at least I'm pretty sure).
So I will be teaching two 6th grade classes, and two7/8 split classes. That is going to be incredibly challenging, but who cares as long as I have a job!!!

So let me take a minute to brag...
My moms good friend Linda has a son in law who is the assistant principal at this school. So when the position opened up, mom called Linda to reccomend me to her son law. So after I got the call back today saying I got the job, mom called Linda to let her know. Linda told mom that her son in law had already called her. He told her that I 'blew them away'. That is awesome!!!!!

But at the end of the day I know that God was in control. I've prayed so much about it. Then when the interview was happening I didn't even feel nervous, i just felt good! I'm so happy and so thankful!!
