Today was a very hard day. My job has been very challenging as of late and part of me wants to look elsewhere, and the other part of me pops up and says “don’t be stupid—grass is likely not greener” I’m sorry. I hope it’s gets better. Never hurts to look around though.

I am totally over this week. Big audits at work, doctor appointments, kids tired & cranky because we are off schedule, & I just noticed I got bleach on my navy blue work shirt 😣😣
I'm going to the Chicago area next week for work. I'll have a hotel & 4 days ALL BY MYSELF (except for the work stuff). I am so very ready.

I went house shopping with SO today and fell in love with a house. Now I just need to convince him it's the one and to buy it. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Are there things I need to do while in Schaumburg, IL? I've investigated some resturants & I think there's a mall close to the hotel, but are there other things I should do in the evening? Anyone?

I was so beat from work today that I blew off all of my painting in the front of the house and just hung out with DD while she played.
She was having fun and serenaded me several times so good times were had by all 😀

I’m happy to see you, shan-ah-doo. I was wondering about you the other day. I’ll just go right ahead and be an attention whore today. Today is my birthday! 🎂 H and I are going to go to an adults-only dinner while the in-laws keep DD. I’m beyond excited. Also wearing a dress that I wasn’t sure I’d ever fit into again so 👌 Happy birthday!!

We had new floors installed in the kitchen today. Just laminate wood planks, but they look and feel so much better than the crappy vinyl stick-on tiles that were here when we moved in. We also got a new dishwasher - fx that it does a better job cleaning dishes than our old one.
Next up, we need to paint the cabinets and install new quartz countertops. It’s just a refresh, but our place is tiny and the kitchen runs into our main living space, so I think it will make a big difference.

I mean, not really. I’m right next door to Schaumburg and they’ve got decent restaurants. Wildfire is pretty good.

So I didn’t get the county curriculum job. I knew I didn’t have much of a chance because I have zero out of classroom curriculum experience. However, a few hours after I found out I didn’t get the job, my former AP-turned-principal offered me an instructional coach position at her school. This is exactly the kind of opportunity I had been hoping/working for and I am beyond happy. It’s a step in the right direction if I want to eventually work on a district-wide level. I am going to miss having a classroom and being around the kids all the time but, overall, I am excited. I should celebrate with some wine. Congrats!!

Funny how sometimes just the right opportunity can appear when least expected - but you've been working to be ready for this move. Congratulations!

DS1 ended up being the only kid in ninja tonight, and his coach is a Marine ROTC. He should sleep well tonight.

There's an Ikea there if that's your kind of thing. Ikea would be good for a wander, if you’ve never been to one, readyornot. I drove to that Schaumburg one for my first dining room set.

I'm getting a new nephew in the morning, and I'm excited! I hope my kids will cooperate when I need to get then out of bed a little early tomorrow. Fx.
