Back Again (Hopefully)

Wow, I haven't been on here in such a long time.  I wandered back here without the thought of blogging today, but when I noticed the blogger logo on my gmail screen, I thought I should take a look. I only had 4 posts in all of 2012.  That is crazy!  I re-read several of my old posts and noticed I have had so many changes in my life in the past year.  I had practically forgotten that my husband was slated to deploy to Afghanistan.  That didn't end up happening, between Obama calling for the draw back and the state of California's finances, plans changed, thank God.  I survived my daughter's senior year of volleyball.  My girl graduated and has also gone away to college.  The house is empty without her here.  She is doing great, but I'll save all the bragging for another blog. :) 
The best news for this school year for me is that I was able to get a placement in a different classroom.  I was so burnt out working in the autism program.  I love where I work now and I love the staff I work with!  I don't even miss that old classroom at all, not even a little bit!  On top of this great placement, my principal offered me a job after school teaching math intervention to second and third graders.  It is so great!  I'm actually using my credential too!  I just had to renew it to keep myself legal.  Feels good to actually be in charge of childrens' learning again.  I'm actually hoping it turns into a full time job.  We will see.
I hope I can continue to do this blogging, I think I will set more reasonable goals for myself.  Maybe I will shoot for once a week, or maybe even once a month! Ha! (probably more attainable for me!)
