Sitting here on a Saturday night bored out of my skull. Of course I could easily eliminate that boredom by doing something productive, like cleaning, or putting together our new china cabinet, or entering my inventory into Pink Office finally. But, still, I sit here on the couch, bored. Then again, I think boredom is a little under-rated. Its nice to relax and do nothing. Watching Palladia at the moment, kicked back with Facebook up, and a riveting game of Words With Friends- with my husband who's sitting in the same room- hmmmm. I am enjoying a nice class of my favorite Chianti, and I think I'm going to suggest a movie. Comedy of course.
Its been a month since I started tutoring at the middle school. I AM LOVING IT. Its very rewarding. But, also exhausting. I'm tutoring 8 periods a day, 3 days a week, and I am beat by the end of the day. But, its also a phenomenal feeling to know I'm helping students every day. I've done a bit of subbing as well. Friday I had the opportunity, for the first time since graduating, to teach at an elementary school. I subbed resource at K-3 at one school in the morning, and then went to another for FAC, which is an self contained classroom for moderate to severe disabilities. I discovered two things. One- that I do not want my moderate-severe endorsement. Two- that I belong in an elementary resource room. Well, I already knew the second, but it was indeed confirmed. I know that I can't be choosy now though, with the state of education. I'll take what I can get, and I will enjoy it. But, I know if I don't find resource elementary to start, I will be looking forward to it until I do. If I can't be in an elementary room, I hope I end up at my middle school. Referring to the one at which I am currently tutoring, and where I did my second stint of student teaching. The kids and staff are wonderful, and I already feel so at home.
In other news- I haven't lost any more weight, but, I haven't been trying. I'm hoping to get my motivation back soon. Jeff has been doing great and is looking great. I'm so proud of him. I'm looking forward to the start of summer. I'm ready to get active again!
London is not doing so well in school these days. We had an ARD meeting and he will be given a Section 504 plan. That means he needs a little bit of support at school, but we're hoping its enough to help, without putting him back in Special Education. He's definitely struggling to keep up with the demands of high school. Boy he's growing up. He's not my little boy anymore. He's all teenager. But, he's a good kid, and trying hard to get his grades up. He's decided to forgo extra-curricular activities so that he can concentrate on this classes. He still wants to be a Police Officer and still wants to go to Sam Houston State or A&M.
My Mary Kay business is doing great! I added a new team member. She's wonderful! Registered for Career conference in April and I'm ready for our Cadillac walk across the stage! Two more days and I'll know if I'm going as a Senior Consultant or a Red Jacket!
Okay, I think that's all I have to update for now. I'll try to post more often.
