Crazy Week!

Well as you may recall last week I wrote my blog post after a very impromptu job interview with another ESL company, well I got that job. I also started coaching cross country on Monday (one of three coaches). Within a week I started working at two new companies and coaching. Crazy timing. Even crazier Scott applied for a job at Mountain America (it's a credit union) a few months ago and heard back that he got hired! So we are in crazy transition mode over here and school starts in three days. I realized how coaching is at the worst possible time (no wonder they can't find coaches and hired me, ha). Anyway I've had to make arrangements with my kids and figure out things like dance lessons and other after school headaches. I think I've figured it out.  Fingers crossed.

With my ESL companies I'm not necessarily working more than I was, I'm just trying to figure out how to get the most bang for my buck. Dada lessons are terrible and take a lot of prep work. Gogo has few bookings (as a company in general) but provide subsidy pay just for opening slots. I'm just trying to figure out the different course ware and classroom functions and the ins and outs of the different companies. Facebook groups are a COMPLETE lifesaver. They help me out so much.

We never did make it camping so we had a camp out in our back yard. I made tin foil dinners and we had s'mores and set up the tent. The first night only Corbin and Ryan slept out in the tent. I was reading scary campfire stories from my phone search and one was super scary! Ha. I scarred my kids for life. Gabby was freaked out. Last night Corbin, Gabby, and Ryan slept in the tent. We haven't put away the tent yet so we will see if any kids want to sleep out again. I can't believe they can sleep out there. The crickets are soooo loud. We have an open field area behind our house and I can hear the crickets inside my house. I would lose my mind! Ha.

I think we crossed most things off our summer check list. We still have to get some snow cones. I'm trying to think what projects I can do after the kids go back to school. I won't be subbing so I'll have to figure out something to do. Maybe I can pick up my furniture up cycle hobby.

Ryan wanted to whisper in Scott's ear. Ha. So cute.


Yum!

I finally had my first s'more of the summer. Eating a s'more is always on my summer bucket list, along with tin foil dinners.



Quick tent snuggle and then PEACE OUT, I'm sleeping in my bed. Piper did not want to sleep out either night. She does tell me she is an indoor person. Ha.
