Katy's Happenings....

Well if you read James' blog already you know I received my eligibility letter from Education Dept. of SC. WOO HOO!! Finally! Now I am actively pursuing a job for August. In the meantime I am also actively looking for a job for the summer. I need a temporary job for the summer to help keep us going until I start a full time job in the fall. Last year at this time I was fixing to start working for Walmart. Boy do I miss that job now! I do not miss the manager that stabbed me in the back but I miss the paycheck that went with having that job! lol I know something will come through it always does. There is an opening at Trident Tech for a Instructional Assistant. It doesn't pay that much but it is a job and I can handle that. It is also temporary which is a plus. Kristina will have her play production tomorrow night. The play is called: "The Seven Wives of Dracula". Kristina plays the Doctor. Should be a cute show. I will be glad when it is over! Kristina has had play pr...

I am heading over to MUSC to have an interview. I am hoping i will get the job as Theraputic Assistant (part time). That is what i did before we moved to Greenville area. Even if its just for the summer it would be a good job to have until i can get a job with the school district full time. We finally have sound back on our computer. James thought it was the motherboard but I did a diagnostic from the control panel and figured out it was the sound card. WOO HOO!! I am good! LOL Well time to blast out of here. Hopefully i will have something good to report after the interview. I have had so many interviews with them for the same position i have lost count since i came back here to GC. Well went to the interview and it lasted about 45 minutes. He told me stuff that no one else went into before...ie How the units had changed, how many hours i would have and when the training would be. I am hoping to hear from him sometime this week with a yeah or a nah. This would be a good job to have in...

Well the forms for camp came in the mail today for Camp Happy Days. I thought both kids were going to do the happy dance big time. So they will be filling out some of the forms and I fill out the other stuff like the medical stuff. They are going to be gone July 3 till the 9th. I am not sure who enjoys it more, the kids or James and myself. hehe Well we have one puppy left. I have someone coming to see him at 6 so most likely she will take him home with her. "Bear Bear" as he was lovingly named by Kristina is all black and fuzzy. Cute as can be. If it were possible we would keep him, but three dogs is way too much. Especially since I am the one that takes the dogs out at the wee hours of the night. I am still waiting for my letter of intent for my critical needs certification. UGHHH, talk about frustrating, I called today to make sure they had everything they needed. The lady said that it all needed to be evaluated. It is like...well hurry up and evaluate it! I already got th...

Well we just gave away the runt today. Bruiser as the kids call him was black and tan and had the markings of a dauchsend(sp). Cute as can be! We now have 4 more to give away. I have several people that are interested in them so hopefully this next week we can send them on their merry way. I located a small dining room table with 4 chairs from my Freecycle group. It is just the right size for the kids to eat at. James and I tend to eat watching t.v. most nights. So this is perfect for the space that we have.

Well today turned out to be a much better day than yesterday. I don't care to repeat a day like i had yesterday as a substitute teacher. I am off for the next week because of Spring Break. We had today off because of Good Friday. I went and had brunch with my honey and filled my car up. Then I went and got some clothes from someone on my Freecycle list. This is a great list to be on because not only can you give away stuff that you no longer need. You can also get stuff that you need. Justin is forever needing clothes and today I went and got a big bag full from someone on the list at her work. You can check out the elist at: www.yahoogroups.com and search for CharlestonFreecycle. Then from there I went to Summerville to see my friend Evelyn pronounced Eve-Lyn. She lives in a gorgeous house in the older side of Summerville. She has a wonderful front porch. Right now they are redoing the bathrooms so she actually has a toilet and 2 old tubs(that got refinished) on the porch. It loo...

Have you ever read the book, "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible,No Good, Very Bad Day byJudith Voirst? Well here is the description of this book: "He could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. He went to sleep with gum in his mouth and woke up with gum in his hair. When he got out of bed, he tripped over his skateboard and by mistake dropped his sweater in the sink while the water was running. He could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Nothing at all was right. Everything went wrong, right down to lima beans for supper and kissing on TV. What do you do on a day like that? Well, you may think about going to Australia. You may also be glad to find that some days are like that for other people too. " That is kinda like the day I had today! First I kept dreaming I was awake so I did not feel like I got much sleep. James and I both work up at 5 a.m. It se...

Well I went to the Teacher Recruitment Fair on Saturday morning. It was from 9 to 12 at Stratford High School. I got there right at 9. Each school had booths set up to show why WE the teachers should want to be associated with them. lol Since I pre-registered I was able to go straight to an interview with the Special Education Coordinator, Liz Furmanek. We had a very interesting interview which lasted about 10 to 15 minutes. She does not have any openings for an ED teacher in elementary. However, I told her I would rather have elementary but I have experience with middle school as well and that would be fine. So at least i got the initial interview out of the way. Turns out she came into my classroom when i was a long term sub at Sangaree Elementary. I am still waiting for my critical needs certification to come in. Well time to fix breakfast and get ready for church.
