Exciting News!

I've really been praying lately asking God to send me work.  Subbing has been very slow lately, and although we have enough to pay for everything we need to pay for each month, there are extra things that we would like to do that we haven't been able to do.  So I've been praying for work.

I got a phone call yesterday asking me to do a long term sub job in Adrian for 7/8 grade math classes.  I was so excited.  I was supposed to start Wednesday and be there through March 5.  SIX whole weeks!  Well, I got another call today from the Principal, and he wants me to come in Monday to meet everyone and to start Tuesday, a day early. 

Well, the teacher called me shortly after that, and she let me know that the lady who originally called me only asked me about the FIRST part of the job.  The teacher is actually having TWO surgeries, six weeks apart, and the teacher wants me to take over her class until April 17!  How awesome is that?  Twelve weeks of steady work. 

So though I will miss working in Hudson, this job is a great opportunity for me.  Not only does it give me experience in the middle school levels, it opens me up to a whole other school district, which increases my chances of finding something this year full time.  Bummer that I had to give up my 5 days that I already had scheduled in Hudson, but I think the 55+ days I am getting from this job MORE than makes up for it! ;)  And the schedule is such that Chris will drop the kids off at school before he leaves, and I will be able to pick them up at the end of the day!

I start Tuesday, and a few of the classes will be solely MY responsibility, start to finish, because they begin a new semester on Tuesday, and they will switch again before the other teacher gets back.  So, be praying for me!  I want to make a great impression on these kids, and the school itself!
