My first job interview in 20 years and I woke up with an allergic reaction to a new moisturizer! I had run out of my usual cream the night before, and without thinking I grabbed one of those little sample packets they hand out at stores. (That was a bad decision!) When I woke up on the morning of my interview, my stomach was in knots! Then when I caught a glimpse of my inflamed red rashy face, I nearly fainted. Since my churning belly couldn't tolerate waiting. I decided to down some Benedryl and go to the interview. My friend suggested that it would be a good ice breaker...explaining that I don't normally look like the elephant Woman! And I guess it worked! I got the job on the spot! I will be teaching at a new Montessori school in our area. I am so excited!
The kids are all well. Emily sustained a concussion playing lacrosse, but is recovering well. She has had a spectacular year at school! Ryan is finishing up strongly with school and played his first season of volleyball (which he loved…glad he decided not to return to rugby!). Zachary, Neil and Ryan just returned from a long weekend of baseball. Boy does he adore baseball! Lindsey is having a great year at school and has made lots of new friends. She is becoming such a beautiful person! And I am enjoying my last year at home with Allyson before she heads off to kindergarten next year. She turned 5 three weeks ago! She is such a sweet little girl!
Here is a recent picture of the kids...
