Busy Friday

It was an amazing Friday. I started my day by dropping Jackson and Jenna off for their last day of summer school. After I dropped them off, I headed to my 9:00 AM interview. The positions are for 2- 4th grade classrooms. I think things went very well. The principal, in fact, called me at 1:30 to let me know I am their #1 pick after the day's interviews. However, he did make it known that he had 4 more interviews on Monday. He wanted to know if I had any other job prospects. I had told him earlier that I interviewed at another elementary school in the district, but that I hadn't heard from them yet, which makes me think I'm not in the running. The principal then informed me that the 8:00 AM interview candidate cancelled his/her interview because they accepted the position at the other elementary school. The principal also mentioned that he called and talked to Kitty Grant (my Adams principal) and Rod Montanye (science curriculum coordinator). He tried to call Karen Beige, but only got her classroom voice mail - so I gave him her home number. I also called Karen and told her some areas I didn't get to mention during my interview - she called the principal - and then called me back. She got a very positive feeling. So, I'll keep everyone posted.

After the interview I was able to pick up my antique bed frame. I had it refinished (sand blasted and painted). It looks great in Jenna's room, except the new box spring and mattress don't fit in it.

I then picked up the kids from summer school and took them to Burger King for a special lunch and play time. We were helping another family out by taking their daughter (Madison) to and from summer school. She gets along great with all 3 kids. She will be in 3rd grade next year.

We got home around 1:30 - Jeff got home from work shortly after (early summer hours) - the mom came to get Madison and then the principal called. It was a crazy time here!

After Madison left, Jeff took Jackson and Jenna to the Gretna swimming pool. Joe wanted some mom time, so we played Monolopy.

When Jeff and the kids got home we ate a quick supper of sandwiches before we had to head to the last night of Vacation Bible School. It was a very long day for Jenna. She didn't feel very good during VBS and by the time we got home she vomited in the car! We got her cleaned up and the car cleaned up.....she go tucked in her bed (with a bucket).....and were ready to relax infront of the TV watching "Ocean's 12". All of a sudden at about 11:30 PM there was a knock on our door. It was my PARENTS!! For some reason, I thought they were going to be here on Saturday (today). My house wasn't quite set for their visit ..... but then again, is it every ready. We got the dogs walked, everyone settled, and we went to bed. I should know about the job on Monday or Tuesday..... so I will keep you posted!
