Finally Friday...hooray! This week seemed like it lasted forever! That's probably because I had to work all day, every day (pathetic I know). I don't remember the last time we had a week without a two-hour delay, half day, or holiday; but we made it! Now I can sit here, blog, relax, and enjoy my mint hot chocolate. Yum!
This week I had my final observation for my last evaluation of the year. Even though it seems like I've been observed a million times in my college and teaching careers and my principal pops into my room all of the time, I still get really nervous when I know its coming. I thought my kids were great, I guess I'll find out when I see my evaluation.
In other news, last night we went to the school board meeting for Jacob to get his approval for the Spain trip next summer. The superintendent told him that his item on the agenda would probably come up about 8:30. Well 8:30 came and went and finally, FINALLY at 10:15 it was his turn. And then the board decided they didn't need to approve the trip since it wasn't during the school year, and it was being led by a private travel service. We hadn't needed to come in the first place! Frustrating to say the least after the long wait, but at least they didn't say they couldn't go! So, yes, we are Spain-bound in June 2009! I don't get to go for free, but Jacob does, and I get to go for a really, really good discount. We are really excited, but it seems such a long way away!
Tonight we went to look at another house. It seems like we've seen a million! We got a call through a friend today saying they heard about an incredible deal for a house near Mt. Auburn of all places. Well, we went to see it and discovered why the price was so low. The place was junky! We honestly couldn't find one really good thing about it except for the price. It was a foreclosure and the people who had lived there had really done a botched up job building it and then tore it up before they left. We definitely don't need a fixer-upper! So it's back to the drawing board again. We just have to keep telling ourselves that someday the house for us will come along.
Have a great weekend!

Isn't it funny how quickly we adjust to a partial week of work? Congrats on the trip to Spain...I'm sure it will be a blast! Just the other day, Doug and I were talking about how we wished we could travel more (especially to Europe). Buckwheat is going to put a big hold on that! Anywho...sorry the Mt. Auburn house didn't turn out all that great. If it would have been my old house, it would have been perfect! Keep looking...something will come your way!
Hey... that house in Mt. Auburn. Was it across from the auto body / engine shop there? I think it is 600? If so, you DEFINITELY do NOT want it... The folks that use to live there... woooah!
Spain!? That is awesome! What is the agenda? You'll have such a great time.. especially since Jacob can speak the language! What an advantage!! :)
The house was near Mt. Auburn, in a newer subdivision on 600, not "downtown". The house looked really nice from the outside, but when you got into the inside...oh my!
