My promotion

Very exciting, this weekend I got promoted from branch duty to rock duty. I actually truly loved it, it was much more exciting and I will tell you why. Branches are boring and all the same. Rocks are very different with their own little personalities, and I believe they each have a story to tell. As I unearthed them (I totally enjoyed pulling the moss of the top of each rock to uncover each new "present" and also seeing what critters were hiding underneath each rock - can you tell why I'm good with the preschoolers?!), I was enthralled with thinking about the history behind each rock, what it has seen and experienced for thousands upon thousands of years, how different and unique they all are, and how now it is their time in history to become part of the bonfire which will witness the day of our wedding.

In other news of "promotions" for those of you who don't yet know, I will be teaching either kindergarten or grade two next year (administration is still undecided). Unfortunately, at our school, that means a financial promotion for me because for some reason totally unfathomable to me, preschool teachers get paid significantly less than elementary teachers - something about that our work load isn't as full because we have an assistant teacher in the room. Well, I'm not even gonna get on my soap box about that one.... But I'm excited for a new adventure in teaching next year!
