Working Mom


Today I went to my first job interview in 32 years.

Yikes.

I was nervous, but not as nervous as I thought I'd be.

It was just for a substitute teaching position, like every other out-of-work person in Las Vegas is applying for, so Allyson prepped me.

It was actually pretty easy-peasy. (You have to speak like that if you want to teach little kids.) I think I had good answers for all the questions. (And no, really, I didn't use the word "easy-peasy" once.)

Next step - fingerprinting and FBI background check.

Yikes again.

Hey congrats! The other day (mon or weds?) I was at Mitchell helping with their before-school running program. The PE teacher says "sorry I'm late. I was with Mrs. Y's class. She didn't get a sub" In disbelief, I said "how do you NOT get a sub??" She shrugs and says, "well you put in for a sub and if nobody wants the job, then you don't get a sub. A lot of people don't want to drive all the way out to BC" And I'm thinking "I know plenty of people who are local substitutes, is it possible that all of them were already working that day?!?!!?"

Jared will love having you as a teacher. Any time it's somebody he knows, he thinks it's so cool!

You look very beautiful, as usual. And I don't think you have to sweat the FBI background check ;)
