It's Hump Day!

I guess it doesn't actually feel the same when your not working. I used to love to hear that it was Wednesday when I was teaching because it just made me happy to know that I had made it half way through the week. I can't explain the feeling now that I'm not working but it's definitely a blur most of the time. Sometimes I don't even know what day it is and the weeks and weekends just keep flying by.

My friend A called last night, I used to teach with her in FL. She's coming up to MI this weekend (she's originally from here) and we're going to try to get together. She was telling me though that they hired a new 4th grade teacher this year and they already want to pull her out of her classroom and hire someone to take her place. They can't fire her because she has been teaching for a couple years but at the middle school level. Apparently my old principal who hired her before he left didn't really do a great job checking references. So pretty much what I keep thinking is that I could have a job handed to me if I were just in FL. It's funny how each state is so different. I constantly think "what are we doing here in MI when there are no jobs and we are having such a hard time?" Too bad FL isn't closer, had less traffic, and the cost of living wasn't so high. I guess there are trade offs everywhere. I guess I should be happy with the fact that I am getting to spend time with Little Man and see him grow up.

We have tailgate again this weekend and my brother is actually coming home from college to watch Little Man because my parents had other plans come up. So I'm looking forward to Saturday.
