My Sophomore.

Ugh, I've gained ten pounds. I'm a stress eater, and I definitely have been stressed. My teaching assignment is a tough one. I'm procrastinating as I type. I should be working on my lesson plans for next week. Especially since, the school building will only be open for 2 more hours today if I need to run up there.

I've been super busy, so I don't have any updates. I could go on an on about work, but I'll spare you.

Working between 60-80 hours a week, 7 days a week, and I'm sure I will be for a while.

I'll update if anything interesting happens.

What a great surprise!

I came home to find this waiting for me today. My card was in an envelop that said "Mrs. C", and a hand written message inside for me. 

London's cool hair cut....

Gainfully employed and completely exhausted.

For those who don't know, two weeks ago I was hired as a Special Education Math Teacher at a Middle School! I'm teaching students on a cognitive level of 3rd grade and below. It's been a challenging week since school started, and I'm working about 12 hour days. It's hard work, because it's three grade levels and multiple skill levels in each class! I'm learning a lot and I'm loving every exhaustive, stressful moment of it! Today the curriculum specialists from district came and met with me. It was a great ego boost and relieved a lot of the stress. They complimented my knowledge and performance, and said that I was going to be a great asset for the school!

Wow, how time flies....

Right on time- one month later! Had a great weekend in Austin last weekend. We didn't take many pictures, but I will post the ones we did. I've been very lazy lately. It's been so hot. Mostly I've just been sending out resumes daily. I've had several interviews, but no job offers. I have an interview for a Third Grade Teacher on Monday. Say some prayers for me. Jeff is also up for store manager at another Godiva location. So, say some prayers for that as well. I can't believe summer is almost over. I'm going to make the most of the next several weeks.
