Purdy Toes

Well, since the hubster and I are going to Las Vegas on a little getaway I decided to get my toes done. I tried to do it myself but my eyes are not as good as they used to be and making cute little flowers is getting more and more difficult, so I spend the $10.00 it costs to have my toes look purdy. At least as nice as they CAN look. It makes sandal wearing a little less ugly. The green was something unique I guess and I actually kind of like it. So now when I put on my cute sandals my toes will look their best. It is a little bit of pampering that I allow myself on occasion. I don't do my fingernails that often because a manicure doesn't last as long. For some reason, toenails hold the polish much better than fingernails. Could be the constant washing of the hands or the oils that come out (feet seem a lot dryer than hands) after washing. Who knows, but a pedicure is nice and it lasts for quite some time. So for fancy dinners, vacations, or just to treat myself a pedicure is a nice way to give myself a pat on the back!

One Down, Two to Go!

Well, today was the first of three interviews for a teaching position at our preschool. I would be working Tuesdays and Thursdays only, and I would be working with...gulp... Three year olds! Now, for those of you with children, imagine the year in which your little one was the most challenging. Were they three? Well, I know without a doubt the children at our school are the most challenging in the three year old classes, but I am up for the challenge. Besides, it is only two days a week and I can handle that.
To be honest, my own kids were pretty easy going and I hope I don't have too many in my class next year that are extremely hard to handle, because I definitely won't be used to it. I have subbed a few times this year in the more difficult classes, and I came through without trauma, so working two days a week verses the five I am working now, should be no problem. I am a little nervous about the interviews with the superintendent and the school board, but other than that I am excited and energized about having my own classroom and creating a fun and happy experience for these little ones.
I sometimes think the whole "when one door closes another opens" is true, because I would have never thought of myself as a teaching 3's. I am actually looking forward to brainwashing...um, I mean molding these kids to be kind and compassionate to one another and to respect their elders and all the things that will make it easier for them to exist in our society. For any with teaching experience, advice is welcome!
