And I haven't made a post since December of LAST YEAR!!! What was I thinking?
1. That I would be completely consumed by my two (or four) jobs.
2. That no one seems to stop by this blog except my kind and long suffering cousins.
3. That even though I like to use this as a way to recall our family history, maybe there are some things I just don't really want to recall.
How about all the above?
The regular teaching job has been incredibly difficult this year. Thank goodness I have a great new partner. Together we have two jobs. One is to plan the curriculum and the other is to teach it. Add in the requirement that we purchase all the stuff we need and get it to school somehow, and that's about 2 1/2 jobs for the cost to the district of one.
The job at the college reminds me so much of when I taught classes for the museum. I have to plan everything, gather the stuff, take it up there, use it, repack it, bring it back and put it away. The difference is I also have to read term papers and reflections and stay one step ahead of my students in the textbook. Again, two jobs for the cost of one.
The college course is over on April 25th. After that I only have to make it through June 7th and I get a whole six weeks off before I get to go back for meetings and "professional development" because, as we all know, I don't know what I'm doing.
Retirement waves at me from the bed each morning as I leave a sleeping husband at 6:00 and head off to work. I wish it would grab hold and haul me back to bed!
