As of tomorrow, I officially begin teaching another course for University of Phoenix.
I'm nervous and excited at the same time. It is nerve-wracking, teaching a course without someone there to hold my hand in case of problems. Luckily, the University provides me with all of the information that I need. I have done the preliminary work today - looking forward to class tomorrow!
Tom continues to search for jobs. Don't want to say too much yet, but things are finally starting to look up for jobs for hi.

So much for a break!
So I freaked out a bit on Monday and asked my boss at Sylvan for a month off, because I will be finishing up the school year, taking care of things around the house while Tom is off across the globe (or a few states) interviewing for jobs, etc.
Turns out that it is a good thing that I did, as UoP FINALLY offered me another teaching gig. It had been awhile since they had offered me one (months), probably because I constantly turned them down.
However, I did say that when I took the UoP thing, that when they offered me another chance at it, I would take some time off of Sylvan, and focus my energies on UoP in the evenings (that, and it is super stressful to do three jobs in one day).
So - for the next month and a half, I'll be finishing up the school year and teaching an education course for UoP. I'm kind of excited (although a lot has changed in the 7 months since I taught the last course).

Just a few things
Just a few things new to report:
Trixie is in heat and wearing little girl underwear so she doesn't get blood all over our house. Tom's freaked out at putting a maxipad in the undies, so I get that lovely job. Luckily, she's a good natured dog and puts up with it.
I can't wait to get her spayed - I don't like worrying about loose dogs in the neighborhood and I don't want puppies. At all. I love puppies, but I don't want to put Trixie through that (and there are plenty of puppies available in our local shelter).
I just accepted a third job (again) with the University of Phoenix. I haven't taught for them before and will actually be teaching a graduate level course in Educational Psychology (assuming what they told me is true). I'm really excited about it (I got the call on Friday) - but there is a month long training period for which I don't get paid, so that part isn't very exciting.
Other than that, not much else is new with us. Tom's still plugging away on his research/lab and I'm still loving my jobs at Wabaunsee High and Sylvan.
