Teaching!

I'm teaching! I haven't been hired as a full-time teacher, but I have a long-term subbing position for a teacher who has gone out on maternity leave. Because she has to be on bed rest for the last month of her pregnancy, it's going to end up being about a 2 1/2 month assignment! It's a lot of fun. I love getting paid a little more, and knowing that I have a job to go to every day. I'm enjoying the teachers on my team and I enjoy most of the children, most of the time. There are a few that are going to drive me bananas, but I'm working to get them under control. The other thing I love about this assignment is that I get to teach science! It's earth science, which I didn't think would be so exciting, but I'm actually really enjoying it.

In other news ... well, is there other news? Joe is doing well in California. He is enjoying being a missionary. He has his own struggles, but he is managing. I still write to him every week, and I typically get a response, although there is not too much detail in there. Oh well, that just means that he is being a focused missionary ;-)

I'll just say one more thing. I'm disgusted at the way this election year is shaping up. I was so impressed with Romney; not only his values, which I share, but his track record as well. I'm disgusted with McCain and Huckabee who have torpedoed Romney and his bid for the presidency. So, McCain will never have my vote. If it comes down to McCain and Obama, I'll vote for Obama. If it's McCain and Hillary, I'm abstaining! Nuf said!
