DDA Chapter 11

[Glynis]

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.

I think you are doing the right thing, Tia! You have put up with way too much from Momboss! Good luck with the resumes, emails, interviews. You will be in my prayers!

I've gotten mail from the Greater Cincinnati Alzehiemer's Association since the 9th grade!

And now that you have twins, you'll start feeling like you might actually have Alzheimer's! It's crazy what you forget when you have to deal with two little ones at the same time!

What message should I put in the game program for Nicholas?

How does "Nicholas, good luck during your first football season." sound? Any other ideas?

"Nicholas - We are proud of you! Play hard!"

Sounds good to me!

Well, I guess my little party is over for a while. I got the kids off to school, now I'm going to shower, and get Alan packed. He has to go to the memorial service for the 10 people from our home town that were killed last weekend. Not a fun trip, by any means. He'll be back tomorrow afternoon, just in time to freelance at a football game. Then, on Saturday, hopefully we'll get the boy's room painted!!!

I like both, maybe "Nicholas - We are proud of you, good luck during your first football season!"

It looks like I will have 3 shots at getting our villa for next year. If none of those 3 chances pan out I will be very cranky because I will have to decide how to do the waitlist. Either that, or I will have to give up on my original plan and start over.

Princess and I are off to the mall!

Oooo...I like that! Thanks.

Wow, it must be a busy day...no posts in 2 hours

Our new living room curtains showed up today. I'm not convinced that I like them yet. They are floral and we've always had solid color so it will take some getting used to. It seems to brighten up the room even though I've only got the slider one up so far. I had to make some adjustments to make them fit as well as installing a traverse rod. Now I need to buy new rods for the other windows as our current rods are too thick Then all of those curtains need to be shortened, but I haven't decided how short yet. That will be tomorrow's project since I need to leave for work in an hour.

Hello! I hope everyone is having a good day!

I love all the back-to-school pictures you've been posting. The DDA kiddos are getting so big!

Jen, you are going to be an awesome teacher! Take one day at a time, and don't beat yourself up when you make little mistakes. The first year of teaching can be rough, but luckily, your students aren't so "worldly" that they can compare you to too many other teachers. Now, their parents on the other hand...

Debbie, thinking of you and hoping all bad weather stays far, far away!

Tia, I'm so relieved for you that you've decided to say goodbye to your current job. Better opportunities are definitely ahead!

We are headed to Huron in the morning, and we have a busy itinerary for the weekend. I suppose I should start packing, right Elizabeth?

Take care DDA!

Jen - I'm going to agree with Amy! This could be a rough year, but you are so lucky that you are getting the most forgiving of students. They will love you if you show them some affection. Teach with that affection, and those students will do anything for you. Treat them with respect, and not just like little non-entities. Kids like to be treated as if you think they are smart.

You are going to be just fine. I know it!

Jen-what do you need to start your classroom? I am betting if you put your list here we might be able to find you some of the things in our houses (I am more than happy to send you my "stuff" but I want to make sure it's stuff you can use).

You are going to be an awesome teacher!! You will be extra tired this first year but it will be so worth it!! (aren't you glad you got your tonsils out now??)

I just read on the photopass thread that if you had prepurchased your CD and it says you can get the session for $25 on the email they sent you. Disney has 2 honor that price.
