Yeah! A whole week off from school and work. This last week we have been experiencing the kind of weather that makes me love living in Northern California...high 60's, low 70's, perfectly slightly breezy days...just beautiful! However, two new storms are supposed to swamp the region starting Tuesday. It figures. I don't think of my self as naturally pessimistic, but that's how it seems to be rolling for me lately.
The principal handed me my pink slip yesterday, although I knew it was coming. I'll miss the people I work with as well as some of the students. I have to say, though, I'm looking forward to working less hours with little kids who are nice and sweet. I might be bored to death, but I think overall it will be a good change.
So, what am I going to do with all my free time? First, I'm going to take the summer off from my schoolwork to re-evaluate the direction I am heading in. The last six months I have questioned the end result, and now I'm handed the perfect opportunity to take the time to decide exactly what it is I want. It's funny, though, I'm almost 42 and still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. Second, I'm going to get my sewing machine out (in June) and finish a quilt top that's been sitting for a year and a half, and two hand bags that have been around for a year!
I'm taking the kids up to the mall today. Jessica needs some dress slacks and nice blouse for job/college interviews. Plus, as ASB President she will be heading to the school district office at least once a month and she needs to look nice. I think we'll stop at the Loft and Macy's. They have beautiful clothes for petite women. Andrew is just growing out of everything. I can't keep up with that kid! At least his shoe size has stabilized for this brief moment in time. Joe will stay home and clean his office (do you blame him?). We won't be gone long.
