Happy Mother's Day, Katie!

Happy Mother's Day Katie! It was so great to meeting you :goodvibes

Hope your trip home was uneventful - I'm sure those boys were super happy to see you today!

kschafer · May 9, 2010

wanted to hop on and say HI!! Thanks everyone for checking in on me and following along on FB :goodvibes

It was a fantastic week!!!!! I enjoyed my solo time, shelby and I had fun and I loved meeting all the disers.

I hope to start my TR in a couple days. Greg did good but there are the expected messes and neglected things around the house so I will spend a good day or two getting things back in order.

:flower3:

Happy Mother's Day to all of you out there and I will catch up on your PTRs and TR's ASAP!

Lady Lallie · May 9, 2010

I can't wait to hear about your trip, Katie! :hyper:

sunny_stace · May 9, 2010

Ooooh Katie!!! All of your new friends look pretty awesome!

I can't wait to hear more!

Oh! And Happy Mother's Day! I bet your family is glad to have you back! And so is your Dis-family! :hug:

Charleston Princess · May 9, 2010

Welcome home, Katie!!! Get crackin' on the cleanin' -- we want a TR! :laughing:

MHTeacher · May 10, 2010

Katie-We missed you while you were gone---Can't wait to hear all about your trip! Hurry up and finish cleaning!

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

I sure wish I could go back to disney, real life stinks!!!

I spent my day of course doing dishes, laundry, vacuuming and grocery shopping. Things weren't TOO bad and I got it almost done in only 1, very full, day.

Unfortunately I heard back today on the job I interviewed for. I suspected this would be the case, they offered it to a more experienced biology teacher. I am disappointed because I need a job but this wasn't the job I really wanted so it's not as bad. It does however take away 1 of the possible options I had in my mind and increases our stress. I am still hoping to hear on the middle school job here in town (the job I actually want) but did a search today anyways and there isn't anything else promising right now in a commutable distance. Still gotta keep my fingers crossed!!

I will finish laundry tomorrow and am subbing for the afternoon and all day wednesday followed by an appointment for Patrick in Des Moines so it will likely be Thursday before I get this TR started...hang in there with me OK! I uploaded the last couple days of photos.

So while we wait, anyone care to guess how many pictures I took in the 200 hours I was gone? I will have to think if I have anything I can use as a prize but let's assume this will just be for fun

I also really need to come up with a title for my TR...so much to do!

First, good luck on getting the job you really want. pixiedust:

And I'm going to guess 1050 just for fun.

Lady Lallie · May 10, 2010

I'm going to guess....1632.

First number that popped into my head. :laughing:

Sorry about the job but maybe it's because your supposed to get the middle school one. :goodvibes

jenjolt · May 10, 2010

Katie...sorry the first job didn't pan out for you! I hope you'll hear better news from the next one at the middle school! Lot of jobs open but none have closed and begun interviews yet so I'm kind of stuck in limbo too...it really bites!!

I'm going to guess 1897 pictures and echo the fact that I really can't wait to hear all about your trip!

sunny_stace · May 10, 2010

Welcome back to reality Miss Katie....I know it stinks! I'm sorry the job didn't pan-out but I'm sure something bigger and better will come along! :hug:
