I'm No Longer Gifted & Talented
I'm about to be just average again. Waaaa. I found out today that our GT program is ending, for the most part. They'll still have an after school component, but I won't be involved in that. I like what I do, but most of all I love the kids. Even the ones that drive me nuts are actually pretty engaging, bright, funny kids.
I don't know what I'll do next year. It would be nice to not do anything, quite honestly. I think I could make enough E-baying our excess stuff to probably match my income! Plus, I have a million jobs and projects that have been put on ice for the last umpteen years while I was working or had tiny kids at home.
Let's see ... I could have lunch with Tinkerbell and help in her class. I could get the rest of the photos in albums. I could go through our digital photos, burn them onto CDs, get some printed out, and get those in albums. I could edit our million hours of home movies and burn them on DVDs. I could catch up on my ironing and make Sweetie's Halloween costume BEFORE Halloween--what a concept! I could work in the garden and get things straightened up out there. I could research scholarships so Drummer Boy can pay for college. I could work on Dad's genealogy so Mom can just focus on her own. I could finally paint some walls, rip out carpet, lay wood floors, change out light fixtures, tear down wallpaper, and the list goes on and on.
Come to think of it, who has time for work? I mean honestly--I'm way to busy for that.

Or you could come east and do the garden/light fixtures/painting things at my place!
BTW, you'll always by gifted and talented. It's just who you are.
Thanks, Em! So are you!
If I came and worked at your house, I could brush up on my skills before I screw up my OWN house! This idea has merit!
I don't get the pic. What's with the cig.?
Sounds like you have plenty to do. Do you know how to e-bay stuff?
I do hope that we get to work together in the future. Working w/you has been da bomb!
