Random Friday thoughts

Andrew and Thomas should be arriving at my in-laws in less than an hour.  I need to go and pick up a couple of things in the morning, but otherwise I plan to be home watching college football all day tomorrow.  Big Ten football begins!!!!!!  Sunday I will head up to paint at my mom's new house...and that will be my weekend.  Hopefully some cleaning and laundry will go along in there as well.

I was in the same classroom all week this week, and it sounds like I'll be there again next week.  I'll be honest, I do much prefer subbing where I know where I'm going to be when I walk in the building.  Subbing has just changed so much though, and there just isn't as much ability to interact with the students.  I miss that tremendously.

On the upside in the job situation, I have an official interview at the private school on Monday.  I think this could be an absolutely great fit for me.  While I will feel badly about leaving my current job, I know everyone will understand that this is a permanent position.  

I am also not going to miss the drive to my current job.  Three mornings this week were a little bit rough.  Yesterday, I could barely see where I was going because of the fog.  It was so thick I had couldn't see anything and had absolutely no point of reference for where I was.  I was also going so slowly because I couldn't see that I really didn't have a sense of timing for when I should be at a landmark.  It was just rough.  Monday it was raining pretty steadily, and I was driving Andrew's car for the first time ever.  A rainy morning in the dark doesn't seem the best time for a debut drive, but fortunately since we both drive Honda vehicles, the control panel is pretty much the same.  Wednesday morning, I guess I just lost my mind because I blew right through a stop sign at a state route.  Thankfully, nothing was coming, but I realized how I just wasn't in the right place mentally to be driving at that point.  It was scary.  There was nothing wrong with me, I just wasn't quite myself.  It's made me a little jittery about driving overall, and I know how Thomas feels about things.

We had some really wet weather this week, which we needed.  We also had a VERY warm day today, although it's too late in October to really have to worry about turning the a/c back on.  A cold front came through this evening, and it's going to be delightful this weekend...if you like it chilly!  And goodness knows I do!

I am grateful for a little bit of time to myself this weekend, although I don't feel like Andrew and I have had much time together lately.  I hate taking time for ourselves, because I hate leaving Thomas home alone.  Overall though, life is pretty darn good.
