God is GREAT!!

I made it through the year. This has absolutely been my second hardest year to teach.

  • Thomas's mysterious illness weighing on me, (still no diagnosis)
  • the dear ex, dropping my beloved oldest from his insurance, right before Thomas's tests began
  • now paying $441 a month for insurance
  • worrying about my beloved youngest, Luke, dealing with a creepo as a coach
  • having to converse with the coach, AD, and principal about the coach's erratic behavior,
  • my dear friend Patty, head of Special Ed, went to a new school
  • Special Ed just NOT being the same great team
  • Luke totalled his car, and I was the carpool until he could afford a new one.

But, praise the mighty Lord, this school year is over, and God has great and awesome plans for my future:

  • Next year, I am honored to teach with Shari and Cathrine, who are soooo successful in teaching 7th grade ELA
  • My dear friend, Trina, is our new counselor, and will actually come to work and enjoy it, unlike our past one
  • I am teaching 35 half day Tech classes to teachers this summer, for mega-bucks
  • We will have THREE Tech Liaisons next year, so I won't be run ragged!!!
  • My oldest will be a junior at my alma mater, McMurry
  • My youngest will be a senior at Cooper, no longer playing basketball for the creepo coach
  • Luke only needs two credits to graduate, and is taking 8 classes, so I will not stress over his grades
  • I actually have another vacation planned for July...back to Ft. Worth, (less gas) to GardenRidge, and Movie Tavern
  • No changes in administration at dear ole Clack for next year
  • Hopefully, in the not-to-distant-future I will be teaching Technology Applications in middle school (so far, no TAKS tests for Tech Apps) = less pressure

God bless you all!!!!

Did ya notice there was more good for next year, than bad from this year? God is like that!
