22 Pounds And Counting

I know the two of you who are reading this are probably wondering about the title. Well, since February, I have been dieting and trying to drop the weight I have put on over the years. As of last week, I have lost 22 pounds. I am taking a week off weighing, but I am sticking to the diet. I started working out about 2 weeks ago and am up to about 40 to 50 minutes 4 to 5 days a week. I am not lifting weights yet. I do not like running or even going to the gym, but I know that it is an important of getting healthy. I am feeling frustrated since the weight seems to be coming off more slowly lately. I lost quickly at first and now I am working hard, eating well and still only losing one pound a week. At this rate, it will take me almost a year to take off the remaining 40 pounds I am still trying to lose.

No news on the job situation. I have been assured that I have one in my current school district, but I don't know where or what grade. I have been reading your blogs, but haven't commented since my Dad is usually logged in on this computer. Since his iMac broke, he had to move my computer into the living room.

No RIF for me

I got the good news today that I will not be a part of the RIF. There were only 11 let go and they think they all should be hired back by end of summer. I do not know what school I am going to or what grade I will be teaching but I have a job for next year!!!!

Nothing else going on here. I have about 7 weeks left of school and I am ready for a nice HOT summer. I do not want it to be hot but we all know it is going to happen. Thanks for all your prayers and I will try to keep you updated.

Still Teaching...For Now

Sorry it's been so long since you heard from me. I even had to change my page because I couldn't remember which email I used to sign into it. Oh well. I will have to get my Dad to get the word out about my new page.

I got semi-bad news on Monday. The state has cut the funding for full day Kindergarten which eliminates my job with the district. I do not know how I will be affected by yet or if I will still have a position at the district at all. One problem is where that job will be. There are no openings at my school so I would have to find another one in the district and I wouldn't get a lot of choices in where I go or what grade I get. In this economy, I will follow the advice I give my 6 year olds, "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" I had already been praying about where to go because I haven't had the easiest year with my Kindergartners. I do believe this is God telling me that Kindergarten may not be for me. Now I just have to pray that I make the right decision.

I do read those that are still blogging, I just do not comment on them. Being a teacher makes me uncomfortable about putting info out there on the internet since we are judged by what we do and who our friends are. So do not expect me to put too much info about my work and I will probably not be joining Facebook or Twitter anytime soon. I will leave Mom and Kyle to handle that. Plus, my life is really boring. I work and work and work and see family every once a while. That's pretty much it.

Thanks for all your support!!!! God has certainly blessed me with a loving family.
