This might be interesting!

I saw an ad in the paper a few weeks ago advertising for a second grade part time position with pay between 20,000 to 25,000. I had no idea where or what this school was. I figured I would email my resume and see what happens. Because at the moment the high end of their salary is 2,000 less of what I am making now.

Now fast forward to today where I get a phone call. I apparently sent my resume to the South Bend Hebrew Day School. So now I have an interview set up for tomorrow at 2. He asked if I would mind having my picture taken so they could attach it to my resume and something they don't do is shake hands because of religious reasons. He asked if I had a problem with any of those, and I told him I didn't mind.

He told me about the job description and that as a part time teacher I would be responsible for the reading, language arts, math, science, and social studies part of classroom day. There are the religious people that take care of the Hebrew part of the day.

I don't even know what to expect. I guess the only way I would take this job is that I am offered benefits also, which I am doubting. So we shall see what happens.

Waiting

In two weeks, school will be in session. I am still holding out to see if SBCSC calls. I have dropped off my resume and application again at Human Resources. I have emailed the person at Human Resources. I have heard nothing. It is just so aggravating.

I have open house at my school next Tuesday. I have begun putting my classroom back together because of the fact that I am just bored at home. I have decided to put my classroom back together in the late afternoon hours because I am least likely to run into anyone and spend my entire time talking. So it is just me and the radio. However what I found out yesterday is that my third grade desks are still in the room and I still need to get my second grade desks. Grrr....

My goal is to get the classroom put together this week, stroll into school next week on open house day and get lessons together, then on Monday August 11, I can just stroll on in. Hopefull I can stick to the plan. We shall see, however if SBCSC does call I then have a choice to make. Let's just hope I hear something by the end of the week.

Animal Rescue

Forwarded from one of my friends:

Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple... Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals' for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Wow that went by fast!

I swear the weekends go by faster than the weekdays. Then again doesn't always seem to be that way?

On Friday night we had our 10 year high school reunion. I cannot believe that it has been 10 years since I have graduated from LaSalle! The reunion was nice. Although for the $90 we had to pay, I expected a bit more than eat your dinner and have a nice time. The only decorations were the red and black napkins in the water glasses on the table. Jay even expected more.

Kara and I have been friends since Kindergarten!

Tracie, me, Jennifer, and Kristen
Tracie didn't get the memo that it wasn't a crazy pic!

The sad thing about the reunion is that the person who organized it all was stuck in New York because of a huge storm that rolled through and they cancelled the poor guy's flight!

On Saturday I worked and got final things together for my cousin's bridal shower that we had today.

The shower was held at the Inn at St. Mary's. The entrance to the hotel is quite nice, as I have never been in the place before. I now realize that I should have gotten pictures of the entrance. Oh well!

When we arrived nothing was set up except the tables with the table clothes. We were then told that we had to bring everything ourselves, and then my mom proceeded to tell the person that she was told that everything was included. Somehow everything got straightened out. It was just weird that St. Mary's was not providing the food but the Hilton Hotel next door was. I'm not even sure how that works. There was miscommunication somewhere along the line. However everything was nice and worked out great!

The yummy cake from the Country Bake Shop!

The pretty tables!

Laura and her ability to make the most gorgeous ribbon bouquet.

Maria and all of her cousins who were present!

My aunt told me that I need to go into event planning because I did such a great job. I just said that teaching is less stressful! :)

Also Maria also has the most gorgeous engagement pictures. She had them taken on the campus of Saint Mary's and at Lake Michigan at sunset. Check it out: http://grantisaacstudio.blogspot.com/

Now I just need to gear up for the last week of summer school, then a week off (which really isn't a week off because I am putting my classroom back together), and then school starts on August 11. Blah!

Meet Bob...

and no it is not one of those commercials! I had hubby take out the trash when he got home tonight at 11. The first thing is yells, "What the heck is that?!?" I ran to the back door half expecting to see a slug because we have a colony of slugs living around the house and they tend to get into the basement in some unknown way. But nope this is what we saw:

So I told hubby that his name is Bob. He just kinda looked at me funny. We really have no idea what kind of bug this is. Plus I was not getting too close to Bob. The picture is courtesy of my camera's 12x zoom!

But I do know that I have taken the can of Raid to one of his family members before. I was getting the can of Raid out, and hubby said, "Let him be. It looks docile." Excuse me...this is the same man who freaks out at a spider that is three quarters smaller than Bob's size!

So at the moment Bob is hanging out on the ledge leading down to the basement. In a few moments Bob is going to get a taste of Raid no matter what hubby says because that thing is NOT coming to visit me while I sleep!
