I am employed

I got a job. It's in Nashville for a very large company. It's a temp to hire position. It's a really good company to work for and I will be learning a lot. They are an outsourcing company so I will be learning a whole new industry. This position has some data entry but it is mostly analyzing. I start Wed morning.

The kids got their report cards. Jordan got straight A's again and her overall GPA was 4.25. She was so excited when she saw that. She had a silly perma-grin for about two hours afterward. Devan didn't do as well on his. He had a couple A's, a few B's and a couple C's. His grading scale is harder than Jordan's by a few points so overall he did very well. There is still room for improvement of course. I don't expect straight A's but I don't like seeing the C's.

Jordan has decided to try high school track. I think she will like it because on the high school level the kids don't do it just because it's a cool social thing, well some do, but it's not the majority. Also on the high school level there are coaches willing to work with the middle and long distance runners. I told her the worst that could happen is that she might make a new friendship in time for summer. :) She has become friends with a couple girls who play soccer; although neither of them did this year, so she is excited for next year because she is going to drag at least one of them to soccer tryouts with her which will help her game knowing she has a friend. We missed the sign up time for indoor soccer so she decided to play outdoor spring soccer. She is also going to take a referee training class. She's going to have a busy spring.

Devan is still interested in playing lacrosse and they have a winter indoor session that I found out about - of course after the fact. We are going to get him playing in the spring outdoor league. It will be interesting to see him in shoes other than skater shoes.

Hope you all had a great weekend.
