Thought I would update on my weekend.
Due to a stressful week, my hubby decided to do something special for me today. This week was my first week back at work (school) and they still have not hired me an assistant yet. This means I'm doing 2 people's jobs until then. I also had the Teacher of the Year breakfast on Tuesday morning which was pretty nerve wrecking. I did not win the District Teacher of the Year but I'm quite proud that I was a Top 10 finalist out of about 5000 teachers in the district. I'm also kind of relieved too because it means that I will probably retire at the end of this year (instead of a continuing 2 year commitment if I won) AND I did not have to give any speech! I was on the news as a finalist though and in the paper the next day so of course a lot of people called and stopped me to say they wished I won (and this was stressful for me). Thursday and Friday was the first day with students and I had an irate parent at 3pm on Friday. I really needed this weekend.
Today my hubby surprised me with 2 tickets to the Flat Rock Playhouse in NC to see Thoroughly Modern Millie. I saw the movie when I was in high school! It is a wonderful musical and my hubby hates musicals but he suffered through it for me! We had to drive 90 minutes there and came back in a terrible thunderstorm but it was so worthwhile! I'm still singing the songs! I hope everyone had as great weekend as I did.
