on the job front ... it just gets worse and worse ... I have had 13 conferences over the last 2 weeks (each one lasts at least an hour with a ton of paperwork apiece) .. and we have 5 more scheduled for next week and at least one the week after that ... all the paperwork will have to be completed in the next 2 weeks ... I am still trying to finish up testing that all the students in grades 1-5 complete .. we're still testing for new identifications for special education services .. and I'll still have final progress reports to complete by the end of the school year on all 32 students on the caseload ...
 
on the interview front ... so far it appears the jobs open have been given to others - HOWEVER it's early in the transfer process and lots have more experience than I do .. these were all internal postings so there should be MORE postings from the transfers already done .. we've also had a retirement buy-out that over 20 teachers have taken advantage of, and those jobs have not yet begun to be posted ... so I'm still hopeful for a change before the next school year ...
 
on the "professional education" front ... I spend the first weekend in April at an advanced language class on Saturday and Sunday in Springfield IL and then went to Columbus OH the last weekend of April for another one... this is supposed to run a fall and spring class each over a 2 year period .. but I missed the one last spring so was making it up .. I'm through with the classes but still have outstanding book reports and video lesson observations to submit ... it will get done when school is out .. at least it's a bit flexible in getting the work submitted ! I already have the required 600 hours of tutoring practicum that go along with the requirements ..
 
on the personal front .. I'm a year older .. ... family was very nice to me ... one daughter put together a collage frame of all the children/grandchildren for me to have on my desk .. one daughter sent flowers .. daughter and son-in-law took me to one of my favorite restaurants for dinner .. and we have a show to go see tonight that I'm excited about seeing ...
 
on the "family" front .. husband's mother continues to improve by leaps and bounds and has once again taken over the reins of the family's seasonal business - running a popcorn stand at an amusement park ... the place was bought out by a camp resort company, and his father "lost" his job working in the office .. he's 81 and drawing unemployment for the first time in his life .. LOL .. my mother is still improving but still in the nursing home with rehabilitation .. not sure what will happen in long run .. I suspect that they'll want to move her home with support within a fairly short while, and my dad will require a lot of help to take care of her at home .. she will not walk in the immediate future .. her leg muscles are too weak and when she stands it hyperextends her knees .. they are still working to strengthen her, but it will be a very long process ...
 
on the "home" front .. we have had someone come to begin design plans and estimates for some home renovations .. there are things that need to be 'fixed' and we're weighing whether to fix or change ... front entry needs to be enlarged .. master bath/closet needs to be reworked ... and kitchen needs a better design ... we'll see what they come back with for these 3 projects ...
 
so April was a bit busy and I seem to just be trying to stumble on through May ... might be awhile before I make much of a post again ...
 
I do read the posts .. and enjoyed reading about Juice's pending arrival ... got the boards stirred up a bit didn't it?
 
see you !

It was a little like the prodigal son coming home really. After purchasing the "Minivan who cannot be named" he was talking a good game with "waiting to see the 09 Forester..." but our confidence had already been shaken.
 
On another note, with a boy with learning issues, we do really appreciate the work that folks like yourself do. Unfortunately, the story is always the same. The OT who worked with our son is leaving for a job outside the school system due to understaffing and its fallout.

my biggest frustration is the lack of time I have available to spend WITH students TEACHING them ... I'm handling paperwork, conferences, and supervising paraprofessionals to do a job that *I* want and have the training to be doing ... !!!

Hang in there Brenda things will get better, as the saying goes this too will pass, Time flies, just a week and a half ago was the second anniversary of our daughters death.
 
Regarding the chat try as I might I just cannot get in to it, I do get into a room but nobody is there.
 
Congrats juice on the new purchase, might be your wife's car, but you will let her have it some of the time Right?
 
 On another note it is that time of the year when we move to the lake, still no internet service so I will check in when I can.
 
 Cheers Pat.

Hang in there Brenda. I'm sure you'll find the job you're looking for soon. Glad to hear your mother-in-law is doing better. As, to getting "one year older," I hear ya!

Brenda, being so busy, I'm surprised you had time to write all that stuff
 
Here's looking forward to the storm passing... bright blue skies and sunny days are on the way!
 
On a different note, I submitted my business plan to a local bank (initially) which after reviewing it, turned around and said they wanted more 'cash in advance'. I told them if that was the case, I didn't need them.
Well, I went to a bigger bank and they really liked the business plan. I should be getting the documents to fill out for the loan soon
