Kids Camp starts on Monday. I'm no longer stressed because we're at the point of no return and KK has really stepped up this week and done well with what she was given. I'm looking forward to new and familiar faces at Camp this year. I'm not looking forward to the potential of having people come to register NOW--on the day camp starts, and having to tell them "I'm sorry, camp is full..." I am looking forward to a new routine and being with kids all day.

I have a job for the fall! I started training last Friday and sat down with the owners at Heart of Learning (a daycare center) and discussed a full time position in August as lead teacher of the older 2s, young 3s, with another girl, Alicia, whom I've never worked with but has always been really nice to me. I'm excited! We move classrooms July 25th-26th, and Alicia and I get to set up our own classroom! My eyes lit up as I realized that I am in fact getting the class I was hoping to get--it's just gonna look different. Instead of 20 4s and 5s, I get to play with no more than 12 2s and 3s. :) Daycare isn't what I had my heart set on, but God is opening the doors here, so I'm going through them and next year, when I'm qualified for a Practitioner's license, I will be able to teach at a public school. For now, though, let's look at this year! This year I get to teach a group of little ones!

What I am looking forward to is the first week of August having a week of vacation. While I don't get paid for the week, it'll still be nice to get ready for this next chapter in my life. It'll be good to get my internal clock reset also--7am-4pm is going to be a rough schedule here for me for the first bit, until my body can sleep earlier, and my brain can function earlier in the morning. Sigh. Sometimes I really hate being a night person.
