Well i met the other teacher that was also waiting for news--she must have had someone call her after the board meeting last night and she texted me--so nothing is official until i talk to someone on the board or the principal, but seems like its goodThat is thrilling news Jen!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sooooooooooo happy for you!!!!
BTW, what did they do, call you at 10 at night?!?!?
I am not good at suggesting stuff to do. I am good at showing up to what other people plan!Of course I LOVE to eat and shop. DS likes museums, zoo, aquarium, that kind of stuff. Or he likes bowling, mini-golf, that kind of thing, too.
I started playing cello in 7th grade. I loved it. I mean LOVED it. I wanted DS to play but he defies me.You shouldn't have to take it back and forth - you should have one at school and one at home. The problem is keeping the one at home tuned properly. I would have kept playing all through high school but my lovely high school had no string program.
Oh, I am sorry. Waiting for the band director to e-mail is an internship where you gain valuable experience to put on your resume. No salary.

School starting back up & football is wearing Riley out. They have practice everyday after school unless they have a game(which is only once a week). But the games that are out of town are really out of town! The farthest one is over 2 hours awayI think I am going to see about carpooling with one of the other mothers as Gary does not get home from work in time to go.
Riley is sleeping right now, hope he sleeps tonight.
Loved all the first day of school pictures, and the football ones too. All the kids looked great!
We are officially in panic mode her on the coast, the latest projected path of Gustav has it pretty much following the same path as Katrina and making landfall Monday evening or Tuesday morning. They predict it will strenghten to a cat. 3 by the time it makes landfall.
People are out stocking up on supplies and gasing up their cars, I'm just sick to my stomach.I know it's the chance you take when you live where I do, but this one has all the heartache from Katrina flooding back.
I also get angry when I watch the news and they talk about what a tragedy Katrina was to New Orleans. Not that what happened in New Orleans wasn't horrible, but the storm actually hit Mississippi and destroyed the coast. Hundreds of people were killed and thousands of homes were completely destroyed. New Orleans flooded because the levies broke after the storm.
As soon as we could get away after the storm we spent the weekend in Panama City Beach, the girl at the desk asked me if the storm affected Mississippi much.
Sorry about the rant . . . .
that the storm dissipates or stays far away. 
'sOk, here are our first day of school pictures.
All four kids:
Katie:
Jacob:
Leslie:
Mary:
I got a picture of me & my baby today. It isn't her first day of school but it is the 1st day at Ferris.
Work was not good tonight. My first party stiffed me (at least they did pay the bill) and my second party left me $3. It really didn't get much better from there. I can only hope that I had all the bad customers tonight and that the rest of the week will improve
I made the last payment on my cruise!!!I am paid in full. Woo Hoo! Palo reservations, here I come!!!
Chanon, since she seems to think I'm eligible for AARP)
But, come on! No pic? I know you're Mom would be happy to take one just for us! Please...... 
I made the last payment on my cruise!!!
So those of you thinking we have an early fall coming..... is it nice/cooler where you live or something?! We're still pushing 90 for most of the next 10 days, and with 88-90% humidity!
Glynis - Your kids are so grown up looking!!!

Well, I am the proud holder of a resignation letter. We decided yesterday that I have at least enough opportunities that can be temporary to bring in about half of what I was making. Plus, Kristi's neighbor and I kept missing each other yesterday so hopefully I'll talk to her today. Plus, I put in emails to 4 other families. So, I am turning in a letter of resignation today. I hate that it's come to this, but I just don't see a choice. Thanks for all of your support everyone! It's been nice knowing I'm not just crazy in thinking things are amiss.
Another position will come along soon, and the money you will save on gas will be huge! It really is an involved process to contact and meet all of these families, but it will be worth it! You go into every new job smarter than you went into the previous one.

Terry - I see that Robyn must have been able to view your pictures, but I got one picture of your son and grandson and that was it... three times! Quite a slideshow.

I decided to go in this morning and try to explain that his pencil cases stay at school as does the water bottle. He needs to hand his folder to his teacher as apparently they don't look for it. The teacher said she asked for the paperwork yesterday, but he didn't give it to her. It's his first week in Kindergarten I'm not sure he even knew what she was talking about. I also showed him where and how to fill the water bottle. Hopefully he will come home with a much lighter backpack today.Work was not good tonight.
