And now....summer!

I am officially out of school for the summer and thus assigned to night duty to make up for the time that Paul had to do it all last week. Not fun. She slept fairly well last night and only woke up twice for a feeding.

We've have experienced enough now to know what she needs and when. We know when she is just tired or has a dirty diaper. When she feels sick or when she is hungry. All of these things are quite important.

More to come on next year's opportunities! There will be other things besides band, however at this time, these opportunities remain discreet until final decisions have been made. Needless to say I'm excited about having a break from band for a while. I love my job, really I do, but Red Oak has a long way to go and I've been with it for 8 years with no feeling of "yea, this is a really good program!". Time to let someone else take over. Not that there weren't improvements; there were many. I mean, even three years ago I would never have been able to take my top group to UIL and play grade 3's and even make the II's that we made. Success was evident. But politics and priorities hold us back.

So now on to better things, just waiting to hear back from the Principal. Exciting times.
