Infinite Possibilities

This post will be kind of different. I am unsure how to start but here it goes...

This is my last Friday at school. It is bittersweet. Not in a regret kind of way but in a disconnected kind of way. I am leaving on what I consider to be good terms but others sort of ostracize me. To date there is one teacher who has not even acknowledged that I am leaving. Ofcourse this is really nothing new. I am so disappointed on so many levels about how this school could be. It's a great place but right now it's a little directionally challenged. Lots of questions but no answers. I am leaving because I have managed to lose two close friends in two years. Granted this is their problem but it is difficult. It is the reason I am leaving. I don't want to place myself in a position to teach their kid next year. It's not worth it to me. I am tired of playing defense..and offense is not worth it. I would love to teach part-time or a couple of classes but doubt that is a viable option. It's just a weird place to be in right now. I'm a say what you mean and mean what you say kind of person. Not a passive/aggressive bone in my body. If I am your friend..I am your friend all the time. Not when it's convenient or when I'm moody. I dislike indecision and I don't like someone to talk out of both sides of their mouth. I like conviction and compassion. I like to make something the very best it can be not just slide by. I like accountability. I like consequences. I like change. I like an underdog. I understand teenagers. I am not their friend....never have been never will be. They are not my peers. No regrets. I wish those who know me best the best of luck next year.

Okay, now for the lighter side. I am so excited about American Idol. I can hardly wait to see what Adam and Kris come up with next week. I am soooo pulling for Kris and not just because he is a fellow Arkansan.

This weekend I am supposed to attend a joint FCHS class reunion (1984-86) in Memphis at the Rendezvous. However, because of all this weather I am thinking I will not be attending. My husband may whisk me away in our Beechcraft Bonanza for an anniversary celebration. Tomorrow we will be married for 12 years. And they said it wouldn't last. LOL

I hope all have a wonderful weekend! Later....
