Spring is here, but more exciting is the end of the school year- finished June 10.
Road trip planned, mapped and reservations made. In short, leaving June 16 for Vegas and then meeting Mom at the condo in Florida. Will be gone nearly three weeks. Nervous that it is going to be a disaster, as the precursor signs have already started to show. I said the last time that I would not do another road trip, but we're doing it nevertheless. We'll just have to see how it turns out- could be wonderful.
End of school year for me- packing up. Auburn going to academy system next year, so pretty much everyone is being moved to a different room to keep the academies together. Not happy, but will deal with it. Almost done with my room, really just my desk area left to do. Did not get a pink slip and am on the schedule for next year- Spanish 1 and Spanish 2. Staying? I don't know.
Finished my MSL. That whole thing was close to disaster, but rode it out and finished fine. A in the practicum, not that my administrators did anything to really help me. The whole project was a wash. Finished with a 3.93, all As with a B+ in School Law, which is fine with me..... Going to become an administrator? Probably not, at least not for Rockford. There is an asst. principal position in Byron that I am debating to apply.
Looking at moving or staying..... Conversation began when Aunt Jean died, with the expectation, as selfish as it may have been, that I would be getting a large sum. In the end, it looks like this is not going to happen. Still, I am very grateful for the money she gave me over the years and this last check (sometime this summer)..... So, we have been looking, if anything, to get out of Rockford before Trey hits junior high. I think we have been a bit spoiled and have high expectations, which leads to higher price tags. The Egan house in Leaf River has been in the running since the start- everything except for the indoor pool. Out in the "sticks", but a big house (maybe too much house) with five wooded acres. Is a repo and needs work, but do-able if the inspections pan out and they take a low-ball offer. A second big house in Rockton, another repo, with an indoor pool, also needs work. Negative is that the master is on the second floor and although a lot of "bling", the quality of work is not really that good. Better financing options with the first. Just a waiting game, really.... Need to fix our own house prior to selling, which could also derail a move. Septic work checked out OK. Need a new roof, kitchen, garage floor, and a list of "cosmetics". So, we'll have to see.
Otherwise, OK.
Not great, but OK.
