Ugh!

I'm a terrible blogger. I got out of the habit and haven't posted in forever!

News: Tom defended his dissertation and is no officially a doctor of thinkology. He hasn't made me call him Dr. Tom too much.

I got to go to Wichita with a club from school and had a lot of fun. I was able to visit my friend, Deb, who lives there, and just enjoy spending time with students when I don't have to be a rigid rule-tender. It was so so nice.

Dad turns 60 tomorrow. He's not very happy about it, and I am sad that we will not be able to see him for a couple of weeks until we go in to celebrate his birthday.

Tom continues to look for a job. I continue to not look, because I really can't until he finds something. So we are still stuck in limbo for that. It is nice that he is done with his defense, though, even though he is still working on making a few corrections to his paper.

The end of school is almost upon us. 5 weeks with seniors and 6 with the rest of the students! I'm shocked - time has really flown this year. I have enjoyed my job a lot this year, but am still wondering if I am cut out to be a teacher for the rest of my life. It isn't bad, per se, but the teachers and administration (and parents!) can make things more of a challenge than I would like sometimes. I am also just wondering if teaching is my calling. I do go through this self-doubt every year, so I'm guessing it may just be the end of the year blues.

Well, that's it for me this evening. I'll try to get some pics up soon - text just isn't as much fun without pics. Spring is in full bloom here in Kansas, so there may even be some flower pics!
