Everything has slowly, but surely worked out for Shawn and I. Here is a little update on what we are up to these days...
Shawn has started his internship with the "lean" program at the hospital. He seems to be enjoying it a lot, but is ready for a little more responsibility. The other day, he got to organize his "own" shelf and did such a good job that a women from the hospital asked if he could come in and do other shelves for her. (This doesn't surprise me with how organized and how much of a neat freak Shawn is. I think it is slowly wearing on him how messy I am.) The only downfall is that he has to wake up at 4 am to make it to the hospital on time- he is CRAZY!
I have started working at a Montessori Preschool. I am really enjoying it and am learning a lot about different teaching/ parenting philosophies. There are a lot of concepts I want to incorporate and quite a few I don't believe in so much. It has been an eye opening experience to have this opportunity to get to spend so much time with young children. I am pretty sure I made the right career choice to teach middle school. Teaching preschool is fun, but I don't think I could do it for forever- it takes so much energy to stay so upbeat and keep up with them. I teach a kindergarten PE class once a week. No matter how much we run and play, I still feel like they could keep going forever. I wish I had that much energy again.
Chunkie and Little Guy (aka Tails.)
Chunkie and Little Guy are part of the family now. Chunkie is by far my favorite, but Little Guy seems to be everyone else's favorite. Both bunnies are happy. They love their two story cage that Shawn built for them. It has gotten pretty fancy lately. It now has a metal roof (thanks to the scraps left at Parma.) The deck is completed- although Shawn jokes about putting a railing on it. Both bunnies love to come inside and don't find baths miserable. Life for the bunnies is good.
None of us have anything to complain about :) Well, maybe Shawn does- he does have to wake up at 4am. I still can't get over that!
