I guess this is turning into a weekly blog. So, here is the recap from last week.

I finally got my permanent crown on my tooth on Tuesday. It was pain free.

We did a quick trip to Michigan. We went and saw my friend's little boy in Damn Yankees! He was a bat boy. We did not stay, so we did not get back until 3:45am on Sunday morning. Then it was on to my nephew's confirmation and party. It was a fun time with the family.

That is about it.

Well, it has been a week since my last blog. Sorry. It has been a busy week with kids. K and J have ball practice and B has baton. We don't have much time to do much else. The weather was nice until Saturday. It was chilly at ball practice yesterday for both boys.
One thing I have been trying to do is walking 3 or 4 times a week. In March I walked 12 miles and so far this month I am at 6.2 miles. I need to pick up the pace. I generally walk at the park down the road, but there are a couple of nice walking paths in the area. Hopefully, the weather will be nice and I can get out and walk a bunch of miles this week.

Happy Birthday to me. We went to Kalahari for the night. It was great water park. The place was really busy, but we didn't have to wait too long for any one ride. B and K loved the Flow Rider. I even gave it a go. My college roommate, Craig, and his family joined us as well.
We had a birthday dinner at Outback Steakhouse and then had cupcakes back in our room. All in all, it was a fun way to spend my 40th birthday.

Well, I guess I can tell everyone the news....Mogadore Local Schools is suspending my contract at the end of the year due to financial reasons. There are 4 teachers who will be "RIFfed" at the end of the school year because of budget cuts.

I first got wind that I might be let go around the middle of February. Even, until I actually received the letter today, I had hope something would change and I would still have a teaching job. However, it does not look like that will happen.

This is something I never thought would happen and still can't believe it is happening.

I have already started the process of finding a new teaching job. But, most schools don't post job opening til the end of April or early May. I am hopeful to find something close to home. Keep us in your prayers.

Spring Break is wrapping up. It has been a beautiful week. We set a record high of 86 degrees F today. The family went to Atwood and under dad's direction, set up the campsite. We moved to lot #701 this year. It is bigger than our other lot. It is located just behind our 'old' site and next to our first ever permanent site.

Tomorrow, we head down to put the dock in place and launch the boat for the 2010 season. We figured we have close to 60 different people on the boat last year and invite you for a ride this year.

Yesterday was April Fool's Day. T and I woke up the kids and told them they had a snow day. They jumped up and looked out the window as well said April Fool's. Then, with a little help from my mom who was dog sitting, we posted on Facebook that we got a dog. It came complete with a picture of the dog and J. Everyone sent in an idea for a name. A few people bought into the joke hook, line and sinker. I am already thinking of jokes for next year.
