First days with children

Well, I have just completed my second day with children in my classroom at Siskin Early Learning Center, and I just think it's totally cool and gross and entertaining and awesome and a new level of disgusting all the time. I like it. That is all.

I made another painting...and I start work next monday

So...I made another painting, but you can't tell what it looks like from this picture...
It's ants with foliage tied to their heads. I also got some pictures of us with the dude who stayed in our spare room last month. His name is Blake, he's pretty cool.

I got a job!

So- I've been stressing out for a little while about what I'm going to "do with my life"...and frankly I still don't know for sure, but I did get a job for now, which is cool. I applied at a place called Siskin Early Learning Institute (it's a pre-school for kids with developmental disabilities, as well as typically developing children), and the job I applied for was a classroom assistant. I figured that I could gain some experience there and then use that to get a better job later. They called me back last week and asked if I would consider taking a lead-teacher position. Long story short- I'm going to be a lead-teacher in a classroom full of 2 year olds. :o) I think it will be cool...and now I have to practice changing diapers b/c I've never had to really do that a lot before. Also- I found this funny picture on the internet while searching for diaper-changing "how-to's"...

I had a 26th birthday

Well, my birthday was June 3rd, on which I turned 26. That's cool I guess, but the coolest thing was I got to hang out with/talk to almost everyone that I like/love. I also got some cool presents including money and these things:

Also- I have two interviews this week. Tuesday, for a pre-k classroom at a hospital type place and Wednesday for a non-profit or foundation or something that works with Hamilton County school system.

My interview

I had my interview today with Hamilton County Pre-K. You know those kinds of interviews that you leave and have no idea whether they liked you or hated you? It was one of those. At least my favorite vegetable still loves me.


Bald Kohlrabi

Also...

Also- I have an interview with Hamilton County for a Pre-K job for this coming August. It is tomorrow- Thursday, May 22. I hope it goes all right b/c I really want that job...BAD...ly.

Your prayers are welcomed.

Veggie Co-op

So...Reeve and I have been taking part in our friends' organic vegetable co-op. It has been pretty cool so far- I've been cooking a lot of stuff that I wouldn't have tried otherwise. I've enjoyed trying to incorporate greens in EVERYTHING, but one veggie has won my heart. I want to put it's portrait on a shirt, or paint it....or both. The winner is....Kohlrabi!! (I think it's because it looks like a little head with leaf-hair)
