So, school started two weeks ago and with that brought my new job. I have really been enjoying working at Bri's school, and I think she likes having me there too. I have a classroom that I share with the ESL (English second language) teacher and we also have half of the room being taken up by an online library, which means there are huge bookshelves with things for people who home school to come in and check out to use for their children.
My job is actually two jobs. I am a ground duty (Marf, don't even say it...) and I work out on the playground for morning and lunch recess. The rest of my day is doing SEM, which is the part-time gifted and talented program for our school district. It stands for Schoolwide Enrichment Model. I have not yet begun working with the students, but have been trying to figure out what the heck I am supposed to be doing. The person that had this position last year purged everything and I have no idea what she did or where to start. I had training today and am starting to figure out what is expected. I am also in charge of the student council, which will be fun helping the students have a fun year and learn leadership.
Speaking of leadership, my calling is going good. I am starting to get into a groove with my job and I don't think it will be a problem or get in the way. A bishop has to work full-time to support his family and still make time for his calling, how much easier will it be for me to work my non-stress job where I get off at 3:30 and still have plenty of time to come home and take care of the sisters in our ward.
Bri got to go play at her cousin's house today for few hours. They really have a lot of fun together. They went out and swam in the pool and played. We always tell them they can play together or talk on the phone...as long as there is no "planning". Well, they didn't listen today and begged for a sleepover. I am a mean mom and didn't feel like it tonight so we said no. We will have plenty of time for a sleepover another time. They left the room joking that they were going to go and compare how mean their moms are, I bet they decided that Bri has the meanest mom! She makes me laugh. I love her silly personality!
JT got his new work car and absolutely hates it. He needs a 4-wheel drive vehicle for work because he has to drive to Idaho and Wyoming during the winter months several times. The only 4-wheel drive car that they offered him was a Jeep Patriot, which is WAY to small for him to carry all of his samples and the things that he needs every day. His mission now is to see how fast it takes him to put 60,000 miles on a vehicle, his goal is 1-1/2 years...he is well on his way, we have had it since Wednesday and it already has 200 miles on it!
We had been hoping to have some good news, but the only good news that I can offer is that we are all healthy and happy and I absolutely love my family...we are PERFECT! Thanks to everyone who cared. :)

Sounds like a great job - how fun to be a "grounds duty" lady - I used to do that and I LOVED IT! I got to play football, jump rope, hopscotch,etc...it was my favorite part of the day!
So fun to hear a "catch-up" (vs. ketchup :) ) on your life!!! I love that we can stay in touch like this. Where has blogging been all our lives??? :)
That sounds like a great job!! No more cold toes! ;)
glad you like being poo. dooty...poo it's all good. also, if you want your name moved up on my favorites, you'll have to do it, i don't know how.
I'm glad you enjoy your job, it sounds like a ton of stuff they've put you in charge of, but as long as you like it I'm psyched for you and your school year! (Also, when I was in SEM we made books and planned inventions, I don't know if that's how they do it these days, but I thought it was fun).
I see you figured out how to get your name at the top of the list. I must say though, If mom liked you best, wouldn't your address be momlikesmebest?
