No Summer School for Me!

Decisions, decisions....

I don't know about you guys, but I'm not the world's greatest decision maker. I can't make decisions quickly or painlessly. However, when I do finally make one, I'm usually pretty happy with it and can often look back without regrets.

Recently, I had made the decision to teach summer school this year so that I could put new carpeting in my house. When I moved in 5 years ago, the former tenants hadn't been very nice to it, and I've had my share of mishaps with the bottle of carpet cleaner. (FYI: leaving the cleaner on the spot longer won't make it disappear!) While I wasn't particularly happy about spending even 19 more days in the classroom, I had decided that new carpeting was worth it! Decision made. Whew! I was pressing onward. Until...

I got an email Thursday that said there had been a change in plans, summer school would now be housed a different building. As I read it my stomach dropped and I was instantly sick. (Not only do I not make decisions well, but I don't handle change well, either.) A change in plans? Are you kidding me? After all the thinking, planning, and pep talks I had to give myself about teaching summer school in the first place? What was I going to do?

Well, after some much needed processing, which I've learned I have to do out loud, (thanks Mom, Kelly, and Tina for listening ) I've decided not to teach summer school! I've spent some time praying and now feel completely at peace about it. Yeah! Bring on the summer and 8 weeks of vacation!! Saturday, I even started making a list of things I want to do. You should see it! (You know, that might make an interesting post sometime...)

Sorry for rambling. Just had to share the exciting news!
