So.
My life has drastically changed in the last two months.
As you may recall, I got a job at Dancing Moose Montessori in February. They started me off subbing here and there, then offered me part-time hours. Then, about 2 1/2 weeks ago they offered me a full-time position as an assistant teacher (I teach a pre-school class of 2 year-olds 8:30-3:30, then an aftercare class 3:30-5:30.) THEN, today they asked me to be the art teacher... which means I will teach two art classes after school!
As you can imagine, for an art bum like me, this has caused my life to be altered drastically. Gone are the days of laying, sleeping, eating fresh avacado and tomato sandwiches, reading, painting with my windows open, bike rides, pondering for hours and going to the temple whenever I felt like it. I also get sick a lot more. And am utterly exhausted at the end of every day.
It is very nice to feel so useful though.
I DO miss painting.
I am stressed a lot.
Sometimes the kids say things or make weird faces that just crack me to pieces though. Like when little aged 2 Pace tried a salt & vinegar potato chip HA HA! He shuttered uncontrollably and closed his eyes. Then he tried it again. SO funny.
I'm excited to teach art, but still a bit out of my element, as kid art can be a bit different than... artist art. But it should be fun to see what they come up with.
Anyhow, next week is Spring Break for me. I have every day off but Wednesday. So, I should come hang with ya'll. Nikki I could look at your office, Dani I could help you with your show (we'll have it all figured out in a matter of a couple hours;), Missy I'll help you with finals, Steph we'll go snowshoeing or on a bike ride, Debbie I'll sit on your new furniture and watch that wannabe bachelor show. I'm down for anything else. Also, I'd like to know who's leaving the state after April?

I kind of got stressed out reading this. Kids wear me out quick. Which is why I will have angel children. Anywho, I am super excited you will have spring break. I still have the old furniture, but I am home by myself most evenings. So you know, if you don't mind oldie furniture than I am your gal.
Man, I wish you had spring break this week. i am on spring break myself. well, tim and i will still be here after april...but i'm pretty sure you already knew that.
and i totally know what you mean about kids not doing artist-art...i can't believe you are teaching art! you should've got your license to teach while you were here. weird.
I don't think I could ever teach preschool. Just the sunbeams in primary drive me crazy (there are about 8 of them).
PLEASE come visit. And see my office. And bring Inglourious back. We should all hang out. You can sleep over if you want!
I will be in Provo for at least 2.5 more years. Feel free to move down here.
I agree with Nikki. We should all hang out. And I agree with you. We should go on a bikeride. I'm sorry to hear you're feeling sickly and missing out on those delicious-sounding sandwiches, but let's make those when you come down too! I miss you.
