Spring Break Came and Left

This whole entire week was wonderful; it was Spring Break!  My friend from Kentucky came to visit me!  We had so much fun just visiting, talking, and enjoying our time together.  I went to swimming lessons with her when we were so young…so long ago.  I think we were about 9 and 10 years old.

I took her out to her first 3D movie!  We saw Journey 2: Mysterious Island.  She loved it! 

She also met my daughter-in-law and my two grandchildren.  My son is in Costa Rica on a mission so she missed out on meeting him.

I am enjoying these last few days of Spring Break b4 school starts up again on Monday.  My friend left on Thursday. 

I am headed over to the library to get me a copy of the Colorado 2011 State Tax Form.  My federal is completed.  I plan to mail it in after I get the info off of it that I need for the State Form.  I am getting a small refund from state and I owe a small amount to Federal. 

I think I have almost decided to punt teaching out the window.  I need a full-time job with benefits.  I plan to drop off my technical (defense contracting work) resume at a staffing agency to see if can "hook" a job.  Defense contracting is not a fulfilling job, but it does pay the bills.

At the moment, I am in a Long Term Sub job until 22 May unless they hire a new principal.  If they hire a new principal, the regular teacher will return to this class.  He is the interim principal at the moment.  I am blessed to have this job and a place to call "home" everyday at this school.

The Mega Millions’ jackpot of $460 million caused a frenzy at the local retailers.  People were scurrying to buy tickets.  The 3 winners reside in IL, KS, and MD.  I bought two tickets.  Hey!  I had to be a part of the "frenzy"!
