Happy News

I will finally be able to get a good nights sleep after hearing that I will be teaching 5th grade again next year at M.I.S. I told myself from the very beginning of the year that I wouldn't worry about my job again this year come "cut time." Unfortunately, the more rumors that are spread, the more I WORRY! I am probably one of the luckiest teachers because I have a GREAT principal who I know would/will fight to save my position until I am tenured. There is a special board meeting on Monday to decide who will be where next year! Please pray for the members as they make the personnel decisions next week that will benefit our District positively in the future. I find it a crazy coincidence that I start my Personnel class this weekend. I'm hoping to learn some inside secrets that I can use to improve my ways of teaching. Happy Birthday to me! :)

My Cardinals porch/Doug's man cave is ALMOST completely painted. The red walls were finished yesterday and one coat of white was added to the remaining walls and ceiling. I think after one or two more coats we can take up the carpet and paint the floor. I know it's crazy, but I have decided to put a floor paint down and then just get a large area rug to cover the majority of the floor. That way I won't have to worry about the door leaking when we get major rains. My goal is to have everything complete by opening day... we will see!
