Underwhelmed.

So Jon and I have told our respective jobs that we're moving - and the result was distinctly underwhelming. Good, I suppose, because I was living in fear that my school would fire me as soon as they found out (they have a bad reputation for that).  But I got a nice email back from my director, and that's that apparently. Scary stuff.

Facebook, on the other hand, has been very supportive.  I attribute that to the wonderful people I have as friends on FB - many people I grew up with in PA, some awesome teachers from my previous school, and assorted other cool folks I choose to associate with.  I don't believe in adding people just because I have 23 mutual friends with them. If I really didn't associate with you in high school, why would I want to now?  From what I saw at my 20 year reunion, most of those people really haven't changed much at all.

Still no movement on the Marley front - she's threatening to "pull a Bailey", which in our family code means to get really mean and antisocial until she gets her way.  As long as I'm not on the receiving end...

We have our community garage sale this weekend and hope to get rid of a lot of stuff.  Bailey will be coming down for a visit in June, and there are several items she has earmarked for herself, so after that our house will be pretty bare.  Just continuing to hope that we're not some of the last people sent over, as that will turn into just a mess.  I will be getting my prorated teaching salary through the beginning of August as well as my salary for my summer job, and we won't be paying a babysitter.  So ideally we'll have a few grand set aside in savings for when we leave.  Jon's job has offered to let him stay on until he leaves, which is a very good thing.

Also this weekend is Mother's Day.  My mom is in North Carolina for the summer, but I will be sending her something nice.  My mom is awesome.  She and I have had our differences, but I do know that everything she does, she does because she feels it's the best for me.  Jon's mom is awesome too - anything anyone needs, she is always there to help with a wonderful attitude.  Thanks to the mamas!
