Thursday April 16th was a bad day.
I got the phone call I'd been preparing for but still wasn't ready for: Stanley, my beloved 10 year old Boston Terrier, has Stage IV lymphoma.
Traumatized and slightly shocked, I went home and got the letter I'd been preparing for but still wasn't ready for: Boston Public Schools is not renewing my contract for the 2009-2010 school year.
Since Stanley's cancer is more immediate, it has overwhelmed me this entire break. But he's on chemotherapy and has improved drastically. I am hoping that this is also the case with my employment status for next year!
Keep your fingers (and paws) crossed. For now, there are 43 days of school left in Term 4. We have a talent show coming up and I'm going to try giving my students a "final" for the first time ever.
There will be updates!
