First off, I'd like to wish every Mother out there a very Happy Mother's Day! I hope you all had a great time with family and friends. :) I would have spent today with my Mom, but she and my Dad were in Chicago for a Bar Mitzvah this weekend, so I didn't get to see her. Luckily we have cell phones and text messaging! Plus my Mom and I will get to spend time together on Saturday the 15th when we go see Legally Blonde in Cincinnati. That's going to be my actual gift to her. :) She's wanted to see it almost as much as I have!
It is hard to believe that this is the 2nd to last week of preschool! Our annual 'picnic' (it's actually inside, so it's not really a picnic) is on Wednesday from 6-8. Not exactly looking forward to having to work a 10 hour day, but it's worth it in the end when I see the children who will be going off to Kindergarten in the fall. I had them in my room 3 years ago! That will be hard for me. Kids grow up too quickly!
Not much else to write about this week. Oh yes, I almost forgot... The promo for Clay's new CD Tried & True made its debut on YouTube this weekend! I was unable to attend the actual concert, but I am really looking forward to seeing it on PBS in August. Didn't see the video? Here, I'll just put it on here. I think I figured out to do that...
Hopefully that worked! Anyway that's about all for this week! I will hopefully be back next week to give you an update as to how LB was! I'm pretty sure one of the words I'm going to use is "awesome," LOL. :)

May has been...
Well, it's been rather weird so far. There have been some great things that have happened within the past few days and some devastating things that have happened.
The good news is that my Dad, who has been jobless for a little over a year now has a job! It is only a 6 month contracting job in Huntsville, AL so he and my Mom won't have to move, but it may possibly turn into a full-time job. So congratulations to my Dad! He goes down next week.
Interestingly enough, the reason that we live in Ohio is because my Dad had gotten laid off from his previous job in Nashville, TN. The company basically went bankrupt. This past weekend I learned about the awful flooding in Nashville. My parents sent me a few pictures of the neighborhood in Brentwood, TN where we lived. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the pictures. There were two people in a canoe in the middle of the street and a dog was swimming in the street. Unbelievable. From what I understand, everyone in that subdivision is okay and the water is slowly receding. The scary part about all of this? While living in Nasvhville, I worked at the JCC which just happens to be right next to Bellevue. I was thinking about staying in Nashville when my parents said they were moving up to Ohio for my Dad's job, but unfortunately I didn't have enough money yet (I had only been working for a year) to live on my own. But I did look at some apartments just for the heck of it and one of the apartments I looked at is in Bellevue. So had I stayed in Nashville, I don't know what I'd be doing right now. I only hope that my former co-workers are okay.
There are a couple of good things going on this month as well. I am seeing Legally Blonde: The Musical with my Mom in Cincinnati on the 15th so that is something to look forward to. I also booked the hotel in Hammond, IN for when we (my boyfriend and I) go up in August to see Clay Aiken & Ruben Studdard in concert. Now all I have to do is buy the tickets that go on sale the 21st. I'll believe that date when I see it on Ticketmaster. I'm hoping that is sometime soon! The date has been changed four times now.
The 2009-2010 school year is coming to an end. The last day of preschool at the DJCC is May 21st. It's just hard to believe that the kids in my room, many of whom are now 3 years old will be leaving our room this summer and will be moving up to the next room. While I am sad to see them go, I am just amazed at how much they have all grown in the past nine months! I will be working there over the summer since I am a full-time employee and am both excited and nervous about the kids that will be coming over to our room. It will definitely be a big change, that's for sure. But I'm looking forward to it. :-)
I guess that's all for now. I will try to update again next week.
