Good News!

Hey ladies! I have some wonderful news...but I'm going to leave you in suspense cuz I have to tell you the story from the beginning...
First, I am a second grade teacher now until the end of the year sicne one of our teachers went on maternity leave Friday. I'm a bit stressed and am really sick of telling students to stop making farting noises.
I didn't get the reading specialist job because they ended up hiring someone from within district, so bummer. Then I found out yesterday that I didn't get the 5th grade position at my current school. Major bummer. Then I find out that it went to a frickin student teacher which just made me pissed.
So this morning I get a call on my work phone from the principal at a school i interviewed at on Tuesday. I was upset she didn't call me on my cell so I could let it go to voicemail and have time to think of something intelligent to say. I get offered a multiage 5/6 position but I have two interviews today, one of which with my current principal at her new school so I asked if I could talk to my principal and get back to her since I didn't know if I should just take it or go through with the other interviews. Well this principal was put off by that and didn't want to be a second choice, so my principal is friends with her and talked her down, thank God. My current principal was very supportive and told me to take it...so I did! I talked everything out with my new prinicpal and she just wanted to make sure I was committed, which I understand. So after a crazy year I am finally a real teacher!!! The school is still in my current district and close to home. One of the teachers on my team is around my age and went to U of Iowa so that will be nice to have an automatic connection with her. So yay!
Other things going on...the junior high muscial I've been choreographing is next week. Should be cute but a little stressed about it right now. Mike and I are going to Michigan this weekend to visit some friends. I am going to Cali in June to visit Sarah and can't wait!
