Almost Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is just next week. WOW! Time sure flies. Still jobless here but think that I might find out something definite on a job next week. I will keep you posted. It sure would be nice to have that job being only about 3 miles or so from where we will be moving too. Dad has hip replacement surgery next week so I will be there for that. Things seem to be moving along here. Still have the house up for sale but not really impressed with the agent though. Maybe not her fault though. She keeps saying she will fax over some papers but never hear from her. I email her and she finally emails me back but doesn't answer my question or mention anything about sending the papers. Just a little frustrating I guess. Michelle did talk to a lady she knows that mentioned that her parent who live in California were going to sell there house and move here in the area. She had mentioned to her parents about this house being up for sale and it would be perfect. So they are discussing it all I guess. That would be wild for that to happen but you know God has done Wilder things. So why could he not do this? I am excited. We have started packing stuff already. We need to get firewood delivered to the house we are moving too before it is too late or cold. It has gotten cold here already. We still have to replace the stove and pipe in the house we are moving too. Almost seems that there is not enough time. Oh well it will all work out.

Life of a Substitute Teacher

I have had the pleasure of being a substitute teacher at the local middle school where I live. I have really been enjoying it. The kids are good. I have filled in for the 5th-8th grades. Normally, a substitute teacher is someone who is maybe wanting to volunteer or something or maybe like me, between jobs. I have run into some of the other subs (as we are called) that seem to make it a career. Mainly it seems, to be Moms that were stay at home, and now their kids have grown up and they need something else to do. I however am still looking for a job. I wish I could do this everyday but to be honest, I don't get paid very much but it does tide me over with my unemployment benefits. Not sure how long that will last though.
Just wanted to keep everyone posted on what is going on in my life.
