Rocketing Off

Quick summary of the past several months: I’ve been working in the same daycare I mentioned last post, but now I’m the 3 year old teacher. I love the work, I love my kids, I detest my workplace. I’m currently applying for other jobs here and in Ames. Sam is also still job-hunting. Wedding plans proceed slowly, but surely.

Since work has been stressing me out, Sam has been encouraging me to work on my writing–something I haven’t done in a looooong time. For some reason, I haven’t been able to motivate myself to fiddle with any of my usual scribblings. I guess I’m just not feeling very creative. Instead, I decided to update here. My goal is to update at least once a week (we’ll see how well that works). My updates will be on whatever topic comes to mind–probably random anecdotes and reminiscences for the most part.

In that spirit, here’s today’s snippet of random: In my classroom I have a farm toy that plays “Old MacDonald.” This morning, one of my little boys decided to sing along. His lyrics were a bit different from standard, but I liked them. “Old MacDonald had a farm, G. I. G. I. Joe!”
