Being a "housewife" has lead to a few long an boring days with the dog. There are a few new elementary positions out there that I'm pursuing. Shawnee Mission has a 3rd grade and 5th grade open. Spring Hill has a 4th grade opening. All three are ideal grades for me and although SM would probably pay more, it would be hard to beat the 5 minute drive to Spring Hill Intermediate. I have a few connections with each districts so we'll see.
On another note, the house is coming along. In between naps on Saturday, John and I hung some of our pictures. It's helped make the house feel more like home which is good. We also hung our Swedish "Dala Horse" and flag outside so the outside is coming along too. The next step is to put together my craft room and work on my scrapbooks! Also need to call the city and start our trash pick-up. We haven't done that yet so I had to take 2 weeks worth of trash to our old condo and it was quite disgusting.
I have my first sub job tomorrow. I hope that means that the jobs will start flowing a little bit more. I'm excited to finally get back into the classroom! I feel like it's been ages since I've been able to teach. And helping John get his new classroom together a few weeks ago really made it hit home. I have 2 jobs this week so I'm hoping that means a quick week. I'm excited for Megan and Chris to come down on Friday and having another relaxing weekend with not much planned.
