Let's go with a list...
1. Legare got a permanent job offer yesterday. After his May 2011 graduation from UNC School of Law, he will be joining the Charlotte office of a very prestigious Chicago law firm.
2. Lorelai just came of off a week of serving as a junior class student leader for the incoming freshman at Clemson. She was responsible for 25 of them and to quote her on Tuesday afternoon..."they just don't listen..." How did she get to be a junior so FAST!!!
3. Lord love us all...Hank and I are so proud of our children that we don't know what to do. God has truly TRULY blessed us beyond measure.
4. This first week of our new school with our students. I'll tell you more about it later. As life would go, I found myself in the oral surgeon's office at 6:30 AM on Wednesday crying (and I am NOT a crier) because they wanted to do a root canal and I needed to get to school (it was only the 2nd morning for students). I talked them into letting me leave but ONLY if I promised to come back before the weekend. SO...armed with an antibiotic and Lortab, I made it until 2:45 on Friday afternoon when I was forced to return for said root canal.
5. The bright side...they gave me " laughing gas" for the root canal. What a great (really, I'm not being sarcastic here) way to relax after one of the most hectic weeks of my life. I just chilled out in that chair for an hour and a half. I'm smiling...at least with one side of my mouth...just thinking about it. Good memories...GOOD memories...
6. As I said, more on the first week of school later. I think I'm going to take a Lortab induced nap. BUT...nobody quit...there were no disciplinary referrals AT ALL...my staff is the best staff EVER in the history of education...and...I'm going to take that nap now. Oh...there WAS the skateboard incident but MY students were not responsible for that little dust up.

Huge congratulations on your son's job. In this market that's a really big deal. Chicago, now, that's also a big deal. Sounds like your daughter is ready for leadership roles too:).
ReplyDeleteYou are truly blessed ... your children sound wonderful!! Congrats to them both for their accomplishments!!! Nap well... HHL
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Legare!!!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your root canal. I've had 3 dental implants since November and spent enough money at the dentist that I could have a new car...instead of one of his daughters. LOL
Rest up this weekend.
Hugs,
Kat
Wow, congratulations on your son's job offer. What a fabulous start to his career. I am thrilled for him and you really should be proud. Your daughter sounds like a fabulous person also. Congrats to her for doing such a great job too. Now for the tooth, oh I do have emphathy for you. I hate to go to the dentist. So glad they have it all fixed now. Enjoy your nap, school will be here again on Monday. Hugs, Marty

Wow! You and Hank rock as parents! Way to go to both of your bebes!!

ReplyDeleteget laughing gas to have my teeth cleaned...could not live without it....glaf your week ended with some...
Congrats to you and your wonderful children!! .. proud momma for sure!!
ReplyDeleteI've had laughing gas too :)
I think we've been leading parallel lives. My son was similarly blessed with an offer from the firm he worked with this past summer. I already did the root canal thing, and mine didn't work, so i'm now scheduled for an implant next month :( Do get some R and R!
ReplyDeleteGood to catch up a bit :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your boy. Glad to hear your girl is doing well to. You and Hank have every reason to be PROUD. You have terrific kids.
Sorry about the root canal! I have had 2 this year and 1 last year :(
Those big filling we had as kids became bigger fillings, then huge fillings...and now root canals and crowns. I could use some laughing gas right now just thinking of my dental bills! Almost more painful to pay the bills then have the root canal :)
(It is because of bloggers like you that I keep coming back to blogging when life wants to get in the way. You brighten my day)
