The Big News!

Last week I heard a rumor that my kid’s school was hiring a Title I tutor.

Brent and I debated the pros and cons of me applying for the job. We basically decided that my current job had more benefits and I would just stay put.

A couple of days later I had to go over to the school to take care of some PTA stuff. While I was there I ran into the principle. Without even realizing what I was doing I asked her about the job.

She responded that there were already several people interested in the job. However, if I was interested I should turn in my resume.

“RESUME!”

“What the heck is a resume?”

I went home and told Brent I needed a resume.

“Krissi, (said very much like Ricky use to say to Lucy) I thought WE decided against the job.”

“We did.”

“Tell me then WHY you need a resume?”

“I don’t know!? I just need to do this. I won’t get the job to many other people want the job I just need to try.”

I then sat down to create a resume.

Which was a whole new experience in reality. How do you break yourself down onto a single piece of paper?

“YUCK!”

Then I had to turn it in. Which made me feel strangely like a beggar.

“Please mum, please, please, can I have the job?”

What the heck was I doing this for I have a job. A job I like!

I felt sick to my stomach and wondered if I have a strange compulsion towards misery.

A couple days later my cell phone rang and the kid’s school name popped up. Shrugging I figured sense school hadn’t started it was a PTA call.

Except when I answered the call the school’s principle was on the line.

She doesn’t generally make PTA calls especially to the Reflection’s chick.

Then she offered me a job. An awesome job. Not the job I applied for but a job as the SEM teacher.

The SEM teacher teaches and runs the gifted and talented program at the school.

I am excited and after spending the last couple of days attending orientations and training it is a great fit more me. I’m so excited that I’m pretty dang annoying to be around.

Which I know isn’t that different than normally being around me but hey!

Anyway that is my big announcement. Points for Shar who hit the nail on the head. Though I have to say Willow's guess gave me a chuckle. I think I would be telling a story about Brent passing out if my news had been on the expecting front.

I went in and talked to my swim boss yesterday. I will be giving up my swim job during the day but will remain an employee filling in as a sub during the evening and teaching during the summer. I can’t imagine totally giving it up.

Meanwhile, I move forward and so far I am loving the path I’m on.
