WOW

WOW!  That's all I can say.  I always thought if you were suppose to be friends with someone they should tell you when they are going to take oh say your job?  I mean to find out from a stranger.  Wow again that is all I can say.  I guess at this point  am so glad that I am leaving my job.  I cannot be where there is so many secrets and lies.  Plain and simple lies.  I was lied to when I was told I could go to third grade.  I was lied to when I was told I was doing so well.  Then when I was told hey I'm not going to ask you back?  What?  Why?  I mean I started that school.  I have put my blood, sweat, time and tears into that school.  This is the treatment I get and for people to also lie and talk about my job status before I even knew about.  Why am I upset?  Well, those I thought were my friends are not.  Those I thought cared about me or had my back didn't.  I know the next place god puts me I will not let myself get too close to others.  I will keep my space and distance and just give my effort and time into just my students and their parents.  I found a quote today that said:  Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. 

I have 3 more days left and I will hold my head up high.  I will not stoop to anyones level.  I am good and I will bounce back.  I will also know who my true friends are and who I can trust.  Thank you to them you all know who you are!!! 

I will survive!!!

Amazing Kids

This week I have had the pleasure of watching some very talented kids.  Not only are they talented the inspire their peers.  Tuesday was our K-2 show and they were cute and adorable.  Where you can really see the progress is with the 2nd graders.  I had them in kindergarten and now they are almost the big kids.  They have come so far and into their own little actors, dancers and singers.  How blessed I am to witness this transformation.  Then Thursday was my son's last performance at TESA.  He was the Asst. Director.  He did the opening speech and I can say it was great.  The show was the best by far.  Now my 2nd set of 3rd graders were absolutely brilliant.  What talent.  Then Reese had a baseball game on Saturday and he had a 2 run RBI and got a player out when he was on first base.  We ended our weekend Saturday night at the Magnolia Motor lounge.  The school of rock performed and one of our 6th grade students was in the Stones band.  What a talented kid.  Reese couldn't take his eyes off the band.  When he came home he ran upstairs and got his guitar.  He said mom I really want to take lessons.  Well looks like we will have to look into that now.  I am so glad I got to experience these kids and all there talent. 

A new journey

A few of my friends have blogs and it really has insipired me to start my own. Not sure I will have many followers but I know it may help me get through some tough times and to share some great family acomplishements with friends and family. I have a few things I want to share.

First I am on a new journey in my career. Of course I still want to be a teacher but I am going to change schools. It wasn't my choice but it was a choice that was made for me. I am ready for the challenge though and I am trying to make it a positive change. Sometimes we have to put it in God's hands. I had an interview on Wednesday so prayers are needed.

Second, I am starting back with my running. I got to have the most amazing experience this month with my mother. I ran in the Pat Tillman run in AZ. 4.2 miles and it was very hot. I forgot how hot it is in AZ. I wouldn't change it for the world. I think I will make it a yearly thing. As long as my mom is able to do it. I do believe she will be running for a long time. I am going to set a goal of a 10K soon and then move on from there. Jogging is so freeing and I love it. I have lost 55lbs. so far and have more to go. It is coming off slow but I haven't gained at all since I started this journey I think that is good.

Last I am trying to find the right fit for me and then family spiritually. I want to find a church we can all like and enjoy the fellowship. This is very hard. We all want different things. I am going to have them come to another one this Sunday for Mother's day. I really like it and so does Reese but Tony hasn't gone yet. Maybe he will enjoy the pastor as much as I do.

Thank you for reading my blog. I hope I have good news soon. I am so grateful for all my friends and family and hope they know how important they are to me.
