Redeemed

For all of my teacher and former teacher friends who promised me that not all sub jobs would be like the third ring of hell...thank you! I've been redeemed. I had a perfectly delightful afternoon at a local high school yesterday. While this high school may be in a very low socio-economic bracket, its students were kind, respectful, and fun. I definitely walked out of the school feeling better than I did when I went in. Next week, I spend 3 days subbing for my friend in his middle school class for kids with severe cognitive needs. I'm really looking forward to it!

In other news, I finished a class last night. I'm down to 8 weeks left of my other class, and then my final class in the spring. I can taste this degree now!

Today Husband and I head to Nebraska with our favorite four year-old to attend the funeral of our friend's dad. As anyone can attest, funerals are never fun, but I know it will be good to see some people that I haven't seen in many years, and to show support for our friends. I also love the thought of a fall drive through the Nebraska panhandle! If you haven't done it, you may think I'm crazy, but anyone who is from there knows what I'm talking about. Kirby will stay here to play his soccer game today and spend some time with Nana and his aunties. I guess you know your kid is getting grown up when he doesn't mind being left behind (I was prepped for an argument!).
