Waiting is hard.

Spring Break is officially over. It was nice and I felt eager to go back. I think this was because I know that in seven weeks, it will all be over for the year. There are other concerns going on too.

I have been praying hard about my job, next year. It turns out that I think it will be up and running next year. I am not sure I want to work in such a roller coaster environment again next year. I applied for a job in District 38. Out of 30 applicants, I was one of five chosen for an interview. I went to the interview on Thursday, and I loved it. I am second guessing all the things I should have done during the interview, but overall, I think it went very well. I am hoping for a call on Monday or Tuesday. Now I just wait. I have also applied for a position in D20, at Liberty High School. The job closes on Tuesday, so I am hoping for an interview call. God is so good. He knows that the last two years have been super tough. I feel like now that school is over, well almost (one more class), I can move on to where he really wants me to go. Not sure Autism is it. I still struggle with leaving my students, but I am realizing that parents also have to step up to the plate and take some responsibility.

The girls are fantastic. Laura made 6 As and 2 Bs on her last report card (3.75 grade average). I am pleased as punch. Becca worked here ) booty off over Spring Break, reading for Battle of the Books. She has read 33 meaty books since September. She will have her first District 49 battle on Tuesday and her city battle on Thursday at Colorado College. On Thursday, our school will battle against 610 other kids. I have taken that day off to go see her and the team. A battle consists of an adult reading a question from one of the books on the list they had to read. The team debates and one person answers. If they answer correctly, they get a point. If they don't the other team gets a chance to answer the question. It is so much fun and I am so proud of my little book worm.

I think that's the latest at the Russell house. I hope you and yours are doing well and enjoying warm weather. We actually had a snow day last week.
