Just as soon as I pack away all my sweaters the temperature drops to 47 degrees. What is up with this nutty weather?

 

Not long ago I was telling you folks about how I dislike writing report card grades. It appears someone was listening because yesterday I got promoted to Technology Coordinator at my school! I will now be part of the administrative team, in addition to teaching part time. I was not expecting this at all. When the principal called me out of my lunch period yesterday, I thought he was going to tell me that he did not have the funds to send me to a conference I requested. I came to his office to find all the school big-wigs sitting around a table. They sat me down and told me they thought I was doing a very good job in my teaching, but that a different position had opened and would I be interested? I nearly fell off my chair. This is an opportunity I envisionsed a few years from now. Our school has the best technology program in the city, so this is a big jump up for me and quite a boost in responsibility. Oh yeah- the really good part, although I'll be teaching part-time, I won't be responsible for grading! Woo-hoo.

 

I'm heading out now to celebrate with a friend. I had thought we would go find a some neighborhood restaurant with an outdoor patio...but it seems the weather is not cooperating. The temperature has dropped to 51 degrees!

 

Cheers!

 

Finally some warm weather! I went out for a run yesterday and completely forgot to put sunscreen on my arms. I actually started to get a little red and splotchy. Oops.

 

I'm still not done with spring cleaning. I managed to cart out about 4 bags of stuff. It feels so good to get rid of clutter. I can breather easier. But I still have a long way to go. My goal is to reduce my belongings to the absolute essentials, plus my beloved books. Everything else can go. I like to feel like I could get up and go in a flash...stuff weighs me down.

 

Things have been a little rough for me in some parts of my personal life, which is why I have been sort of avoiding my blog. I'm always tempted to spill the beans publicly, but I know I might regret it later. I'll say this much, my love life is g-r-e-a-t. But relationships with the rest of my family are very strained. So it goes.
