Updates

As July is quickly passing us by, I am realizing that I may not reach my goal of 2 blog posts a month. I really need a more interesting life.

The 4th of July left us in the Appleton area to watch the local fireworks with friends. We skipped Rhythm and Booms in Madison this year to save on gas since we would be driving to Baraboo the following weekend for our bi-annual family get together. I have an uncle that lives in California, who comes out with his family every other year and we do something as a large group. This year it was camping in Baraboo. We had a new tent that we were excited to try out, and was thankful that the rain held off until after we took the tent down on Sunday morning-even if it was just barely!

After camping, it was one more week of summer school. I have to say that week was harder then the first week, behavior wise. We had the week of the 4th off, so the kids had to come back for one more week after a week vacation. I think that was to long of a break from routine for them, but we all survived.

I have some positive news on the job front. I was offered a part time PreKindergarten position at the Catholic school here in Kaukauna, where I subbed quite a bit last year. I just have to wait and see how reference checks go-not thinking there should be any issues there. So, while that is not official yet I have to decide what to do about this other job offer I received. I accepted a part time position at OfficeMax and go for orientation tomorrow. I am not sure yet that I really want to keep it. Here is the dilemma: It pays $1.50 LESS then I make at Sylvan (both part time jobs) So I have to see if I will be getting more hours at OfficeMax and what Sylvan thinks I could get for hours once school starts. I will go for orientation and see what he has to tell me about hours. I really don't want to give up Sylvan, but if this school year goes like last school year I am going to need something with more hours. I will keep you posted.

I also had an interview on Monday for a 4K teacher at a day care in Green Bay. This would be a full time position (which would make the OfficeMax decision for me). They had a few more interviews this week and then would be calling back for 2nd interviews next week. Keeping my fingers crossed for full time, that would help a lot!!

Thanks for reading my rambling and keep sending positive thoughts my way :)
