If you are reading this, then the Mayans were wrong, and that alone is a reason to be grateful. (Not that I believed it anyways.) But that's not all...

1. I GOT A JOB! After being laid off from teaching in June of 2011, I have stayed on the district's call-back list since I was a tenured permanent full-time teacher.
Not once, in 19 months, had a position opened up for me. I had already written off teaching anytime soon, especially with increasing statewide budget cuts. To my surprise, after some shifting of teachers into different positions, a part time job landed my way. I'll be back to doing what I love, two days a week, starting in January. I am so excited I could burst!
The fact that I will be in a temporary position, working up to my due date, only have a six week maternity leave, be super tired and possibly delirious, is overshadowed by the fact that I am able to teach again and regain some balance in my life.
So that's it for this week...it's a BIG one and I can hardly focus on anything else. I am excited to say that I am on Christmas vacation. Let the celebrating begin!
