Where we are

Currently things are on the up and up.

Home Life: We have started the process of our foundation repair. At one point our driveway disappeared and was officially a mountain of clay. Luckily the crew took that two days later and now we just have cement holes covered with planks of wood.. Once the bell piers cure then the team will come back and install special jack type things to adjust the house. It is an expensive fix due to the recent droughts but I feel that this will also be a selling point due to a house lifetime warrantee that is transferable.

Work: We have one more week left until the last unit begins. It is bittersweet because I am so excited over the growth of my students as well as having the joy of having four students for two grade levels now. The bitter part is that despite how crazy the kids can be, I don't want to let go of them :) This has been my toughest year yet due to the changes that occurred in our grade, but we came out on top. Next year looks extremely promising as the bugs have been worked out of our collaboration with another early childhood program. The new leadership structure also looks strong and positive for teacher and student growth. I still don't know if I'll be grade level chair next year or not but all of the applications are due Friday. We will also be receiving a raise this year, meaning the pay freeze is over!! Last but not least I will also be going to a huge PD conference this summer. Our company throws massive annual conferences and unfortunately last year nobody in Houston could afford to go. Our leaders even stayed back to show that if we couldn't afford to go then they were not going to go. This year only teachers that have not had the opportunity to go will be allowed to go. Excitedly that means almost our whole Pre-K team!

Nothing else is really going on at the moment. We're holding off still on the baby front so that I can get my wisdom teeth out. I need to schedule that on Monday if I can remember.
