Job news

Well, I'm out. And so is my wonderful K. She was told today that they had decided not to accept her application and therefore she will only be working with the band. And that means I'm out. They are looking for a full time director of music and organist. The kicker is the person leading the charge in this is the one trying to tell us that it's not you, but.... "The new person will revitalize the music ministry of the church. because obviously we haven't been doing a good enough job. Just because we've tried 6 ways from Sunday to recruit new people and haven't gotten anyone, that must mean that we're not doing a good enough job. " All I can say is what a load of crap. Can you tell I've moved from tearful to angry. This just stinks. If only the church weren't such a good fit for the boys I'd be out of there! I still might be. Well I'd better quit before I start saying things I'll regret. I have to say Mark has been stewing all day. Those of you who know him know that he doesn't get angry about much. He's as steady as it gets, but this has him very angry. It's been on his mind all day and he just can't let it go. Not so much for my sake, but just how stupid it all is financially for the church. A church that is struggling financially has no business making decisions that will hurt the church and possibly the bottom line of the church. He wants to give M a piece of his mind about it all, but can't because of my involvement. Yikes!

Hoops Night 2011

what a great night Friday was! It was Hoops night again. This year both boys participated in the dribblers routine and were able to get more actively involved in the night. Alex getting his shirt signed by a friend.

Shooting hoops before the game started.

Ball Handlers. The big kids did a great job with their routine.

Alex's teacher and his new baby girl.

During half time, the teachers played survivor in 4 teams. The games included leap frog.

Teacher bowling,

And I'm not sure what this game was about, but it involved pie......

Hmmm! Too bad I missed it.

All in all a great time was had by all.

Me, I missed most of it, but I was in charge of the basket raffle again with 2 friends and so I was busy, but it was for a great cause. We raised a lot of money for the school. Always a great thing.

Mark took most of the pictures. We had to break down and get a new camera, the old one wouldn't hold a charge anymore. He loves playing with it, and it takes pretty good video so expect some videos of the night as well.
