Yep I did it...I took the plunge...back to school. Wah? Who? What'd you say? You heard me right. Here's the thing...Two weeks after I started my new job...my administrator quit. Since then, I've been doing most of that job...but I don't have the certificate. Let me just say that even though my job pays well...that job pays VERY well! So...I approached my boss, and she offered to pay for my classes, give me time at work to take them on line...and remain our administrator until my classes are done. Can I beat that with a stick? Ummmm nope! Back to school for me...
Ok...now let's catch up... I registered for my LSW exam...now comes the studying...and then I can begin as a PAID therapist as UIC. (imagine amazing internal smiling thoughts here)
The precious one got new black and white polka dotted glasses...
I can NOT believe how big she's getting...when did that happen and who said it was ok?

I can NOT believe how big she's getting...when did that happen and who said it was ok? I had my pinning ceremony at my campus on Saturday...and have formal graduation this Sunday...you could say I was a wee bit excited! 
My bestes friend Carlene who I met in grad school got a job in my fair city and is moving here...We think the exact opposite on most topics...but I love her for who she is...and she is amazing...
notice how she's looking at her camera and I'm looking at mine...that's just how we are...yet we're together and having a great time...

When we went to pick it up, they had hemmed it unevenly, so they quickly rehemmed it and we came back in an hour and voila! Good to go. Prom is this Saturday...say a prayer for our schools that they stay open! We had a scare with a suspected case of N1H1, that thankfully came back negative, so schools remain open. Such an important time of year with prom and graduation...let's hope we make it through without a closure. Two districts near us are currently closed...so here's hoping.

I have a busy week again...teaching tomorrow night, school board on Wednesday, something on Thursday that I can't remember...and NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY!!! I love that! I am anticipating a rash of clean laundry at my house soon ;) Oh and by the way...I'm having an open house for my graduation on Sunday...May 17th...2 -5 at my place...hope you can join me for the big celebration!
