Tuesday Tidbits

So I find myself sitting at the computer completely bored because we have 9 guests in and nobody else coming in. So I figured I would catch you up on what is happening in Kalispell and Whitefish.

I applied for the Behavioral Specialist/Special Education Teacher for Whitefish Middle School. I haven't heard anything yet and probably won't for the next couple of days. I will definitely keep you up to date on the job. I was told when I dropped off my application that this is the most difficult position in the district...(a.k.a. lots of hours will be spent in meetings, dealing with parents, and doing what Summer does).

I was able to be outside all day Saturday, tightly bundled of course. I helped Betty Dustin with her garage sale. It has been quite a while since I have been outside for any length of time. I enjoyed the crisp fall weather immensely and even had my own personal heater. Jali, Cameron's sister's chihuhua, was with us so I just zipped her up in my coat to keep her warm.

Friday night I spent at the church for a dinner/auction to benefit the teens missions group. It was a blast and a hoot and all the fun sayings you can think of. My favorite part of the night was when one of the ladies sang a song about everything a mother says to her kids in a day to the tune of William Tell Overture. Another part I loved was one of the fathers telling his rules about a guy dating his daughter.
He had three:
1) Don't honk if you expect to pick anything up
2) Respect her curfew, have her back early
3) I respect your choice to have saggy pants down to your knees that are close to falling off, but please realize that in order to make sure they stay on while with my daughter I will be using the electric nail gun to attach them to you. (This made me think of a few of my students).

School has been crazy the last couple of weeks. Our schedules have been so off due to assemblies, people being gone & trying to cover their spots, meetings, testing, and unexpected interruptions. I guess it's just a taste of what the new job will be like if I get it. God is definitely teaching me new skills in my teaching.
