I Got a Job!

I just found out that I got a job teaching 2nd grade! Yeah!!!!! It's in a different school system (city instead of county), which I'm excited about (my kids will still stay in Lula where they've been). It's funny how things work - the lady that told me about the job has a sister who is friends with the principal. She said she hasn't seen her in a while, but saw her Friday night and mentioned that one of her teachers up and left the country suddenly that day. She called me Monday and told me about it, and I called her immediately. I was in her office by 3:00 that day for an interview, and she called me today to tell me she's recommending me to the board on Friday morning, which is when I'll be official. Open House is starts Friday at 12:00 and school starts on Tuesday, the 11th, so I'll have to prioritize what's important and what can wait as far as decorating, but I'm just so excited about it. When I was in school, I always felt like 2nd grade would be ideal for me - they're still little and cute and seek approval, but they're becoming independent, too. So, life is looking up around here. Hallalujah!
