Now to update you on my where abouts for the last few weeks... I have been a little distracted lately...I open up the PTR sometimes and read...but just have not made it a point to respond. I go through these withdrawl phases from time to time...so be warned...I always snap out of it. What is on my mind? Well a few weeks ago my "DREAM" job with my school district opened up. It was open a few years ago, I applied and like usual they hired the high school person. Well this time around they have decided to split the position into Elementary and High School and make 2 positions...I am more than qualified for the job...in fact there are only 2 others that are on the same knowledge level as I am (1 is not applying and I am not sure about the other...if she applies she will get it because she is a "Smoozer"). I have had a really hard time deciding whether to apply or not...I don't want to live with the regret of what if should I not apply but at the same time my district has a knack for hiring people who don't have the skill sets for jobs and I dont want to be bitter when they hire sometime like that. So what to do? I have tried talking with God but apparently I still can't hear him...I did end up putting my application in and the posting closes today...should hear about an interview next week...which I am trying to prepare for. I don't interview well...another stress With the April and May comes my other 2 busiest times of the year (August and September are my other 2) with work. It is paperwork, paperwork, paperwork for me at the moment. Plus trying to tie up lose ends before school lets out and plan for the fall. I am not sure if I am coming or going some days. My "TO GET DONE" list is a mile long... The kids are just as busy and every evening it seems that we are double booked with events and are having to divide and conquer Jeff going with 1 child and me with the other...and someone else being drug along. Between awards ceremonies, programs, track, tennis, scouting and birthdays I am wiped out! But on an exciting note...last Friday night they got to dance for Governor Rick Perry at a private fundraising event...(spend the weekend playing cowboy with governor outside in the wild west of one of Texas State Parks).
Fingers crossed for you on the job position! Sending all my extra pixie dust to you 
That is so neat the kids got to dance for the Governor! What an awesome experience for them! Bet it is one they never forget.
I cannot tell you how impressed I ended up being with the Governor. He made it a point to talk to each dancer and it was not small talk after the show. He asked them about themselves and what their dreams were and goals. He spent lots of time with each one of them...took a million pictures and invited the kids and families to eat with him...it was an amazing experience. The kids were star struck and so were the parents. As far as running...ugh, don't even want to go there because things are not better and I don't want to sound like I am constantly whining. We did not make it to the run store in Dallas this weekend...and I am pretty certain that the shoes are a lot of my issues. I think I will just go back to our local run store and talk to them...sure wish they had a computer gait analysis. I keep resting and doing everything else but I cant seem to get rid of the shin splints. I am frustrated and tired of dealing with this...why cant this be easy for me...easy in terms of just being able to do what my heart wants to do...I am going to try to start getting in the pool as soon as things calm down and do some running and some swimming in the water...there are a couple of races I wanted to do in the next month...but putting them all on hold.
