New Job Title?

I officially would like to change my job title from Teacher Without A Class to SAHPM or Stay At Home Puppy Momma. I'm starting to enjoy this a little too much. The pros are: house is always spotless, I'm getting to the gym every day and actually enjoying it, cooking at home is saving lots of $. The cons: Being a SAHPM doesn't exactly pay that well. I'm subbing as much as possible but this week has been slower with LEAP testing. Today I have to meet BFF at her school to assist with cheerleader tryouts. Middle school scares me to death but I think I can deal with 30 hopeful cheerleaders for a few hours. It is Friday so BFF has successfully bribed me with several adult beverages.

Sunday Chores

I started my Sunday chores tonight so I could get an early start. The 2 big dogs have been bathed and I changed their bedding. Little Moo isn't feeling so well today. Poor baby decided to help himself to some extra food.


Tomorrow I am going to head to early service at church, find some lunch and go shopping. Monday I have to inventory and clean out my closet. It's horrible.

So I'm back in the iPhone world and I'm actually pretty satisfied with it. Now I do have my backup blackberry waiting just in case. I'm heading out to the eye doctor to order some new contacts. The school board doesn't have vision insurance but they did provide us with a discount card so let's see how much I actually save. I'll leave you with a picture of my little man and I at the Krewe of Barkus parade.

Phone Drama

I'll be jumping back into the iPhone world tomorrow. My poor Blackberry got dropped and stepped on during the Mardi Gras festivities so sadly it will have to be retired. A friend of mine knows someone that refurbishes and sells iPhones so I'll use that until I can upgrade in April.

I'm still out of the classroom but I'm not as scared to go back as I was last week. Hopefully I will be able to start subbing next week and maybe even catch a maternity leave position for the rest of the year. Then there is next year to worry about. I'm just having to trust that I will find the right place for me and I can actually begin to settle in. I do miss my former kiddos and hope that they are safe and well cared for.

Life

Life has been a roller coaster lately. I left the school that I was teaching at. It was a mid-year leave position so there were no consequences. I would rather not reveal the reasons since the powers that be may one day locate this humble blog, but I feel that it was the right decision for me. We are off for Mardi Gras break so I'm hoping to start subbing this week or next. Spring Break is also fast approaching and there's really not much longer until school lets out which means its already time to start thinking about teaching jobs for next year. I think things will be better for me if I'm able to start off fresh with a new year and a new group of kids. Throughout this situation, I've become my own worst critic. I know I can't have everything at once and teaching is a completely new field for me, but I am confident I can find the right place for me next year.
