Monday with no Trevor, Signs and Tuesday with no Rocketry

Monday Trevor wasn’t here so it was me, the kids and a sub that had previously gone through the Stanley program. It was actually a calm day, minus a few bumps. It made me realize that I can do this. This crazy teaching thing, I can do it. I honestly don’t have much to report because for the most part it was a good day. In terms of the “signs” portion of this post it has to do with my current life dilemma. You see, the job search road has led me to a fork and for once, I don’t know which way to go. I’ve always had a clear picture of my “next” steps were but I don’t have one for what happens after this year. I want to be a classroom teacher but I haven’t been so successful in that portion of my experience. So do I keep pushing for that want OR do I take the year off to get my sub license, work on my masters and hope? The monkey wrench in all of this is that I have found my dream school… Well, dream almost school. They get their charter from DPS next month. For those of you who don’t know, I am a “feelings” person. I trust my gut feelings, my sudden reactions and that voice in my heart that tells me when something is right or wrong. I know that this school is my school… But I can’t get hired on until 2013. I feel like that this point I need to keep trying for a job, at least for a little while longer and then go to the back up plan… Where is the deadline though? I am not someone who can aimlessly wait for something that defines my life… I can barely handle waiting now… So just for the record, rocketry still has two more weeks. But luckily I got to spend this afternoon with my kids doing academic choice. It was totally novel, totally unreal to spend it with them. I really enjoyed it. The funny thing was though, I'm DYING to know what they did in Rocketry. I have no idea and it's like being in the in crowd but without knowing all the gossip. I guess my lesson learned today was that we can't know everything with our kids. It happens... We can't know everything.
