I have a friend who is a sub and he doesn't mind the elementary age kids and I don't think you have to have a college degree for elementary. I don't know about the situation there, but here sub teachers are really in demand.

That was my hope, unfortunately I just found out someone I know snagged the job at the school, perfect hours and everything.

I'm bummed.

Shelby, subbing might be an option. All states have different requirements, but if NJ is anything like NH you need to be breathing, willing and have a background check come out clean. Yup, that's it! I know we have a lot of mom's here who sub and work in the cafeteria.

I think I made a mistake in putting my cell phone information into twitter! Those men (yes I am following Jon now too!) update at all hours of the night!

Angey, how exciting that you told people. I am pretty symptom free now so I don't "feel" pregnant, but it is fun to talk about. It makes it feel more real.

N&B'smom · 04-04-2009, 08:20 AM

I think NJ is a bit more strict with subbing. I wouldn't even mind being an aide, just to do something during the same hours my children are there.

I don't have my cell info on Twitter, although I wouldn't mind Donnie or Jon waking me in the middle of the night. lol

I am addicted to Twittering with Donnie and Jon now.

I just love those boys. It's funny though how meeting Jon TOTALLY changed my opinion of him. That sweet, sweet man!!

Ok guys I'm back! One word - AMAZING! It was so unreal after hearing about it for months, looking at pics and videos to finally be there. Our tickets weren't too bad. My dh was a total trooper! He held all the stuff I bought and took all the pics so I could just enjoy the show. He even stood up the whole time!

I'll have to upload some pics later. I'm trying to figure out how to get Grand Rapids MI to work out tonight! Row 14 pops up on Ticketmaster.

N&B'smom · 04-04-2009, 08:26 AM

Aren't you going tomorrow?!?! Geez, pace yourself.

I'm sure your seats weren't bad but the ones you will have tomorrow will be WAYYYYY better!!!

You must be so excited!!!

N&B'smom · 04-04-2009, 08:29 AM

I want a new tag....I want another tag that says 'Jon's Tweetheart' What are my chances?? Probably not that great.

hmdavid · 04-04-2009, 08:33 AM

Karen... I totally forgot this was your first time! Glad you had fun!!!

We are under a blizzard warning today and I have to drive 90 miles to Des Moines to the airport. I just LOVE Midwest spring! Hope I make it!!! Have a good day everyone!!!

Karen, take a deep breath and calm down!

We are going to be in the FRONT ROW tomorrow! You don't need to go to MI tonight, you need to rest up and prepare for tomorrow!

ilovefh · 04-04-2009, 09:04 AM

Karen- glad you had a great time!!

Shelby- I'm an aide in the middle school here. I was going to apply for a teaching position for next year, but with baby due in Dec. I think I'll wait a bit for that. If we can financially work it out I want to stay home for a bit. Being an aide has it's pros and cons for sure! But at least here it is a full time position with benefits (2K added to your paycheck if you don't take it) and eligibility in the retirement system. All in all it is a good job because you come in at a certain time and leave at a certain time, no parent teacher conferences to run, no staying until ungodly hours to grade things. So you can really plan around it!

I know! I'm trying to tell myself that very thing.

I'm glad I went last night b/c I was so shakey and overwhelmed that if I had waited and been row 1 the first time I may have just passed out! I'm even more excited about tomorrow now and I didn't think that was possible!

Heather, drive safely.

danalee · 04-04-2009, 09:36 AM

Whine Buddie No More!!!!!!!!!! Yeah I am so glad you had a great time, like there was any doubt!
Cant wait for the details from tomorrow, have an awesome time! Have a safe trip

Heather be careful and drive safe!

hmdavid · 04-04-2009, 10:07 AM

Thanks everyone, hoping it just rains for now. Doesn't look like it will turn into snow until later tonight. Hopefully when I have to drive back to Des Moines for the concert on Monday it isn't bad! I can't wait to post a picture of all 9 of us in our matching shirts!!!

Marshmelo · 04-04-2009, 10:11 AM

Karen, where are the pics????

I found the pose off video on youtube from the concert last night. Looks like it was fun!

Oh yeah.....what did you buy? Can you give me an idea of what all they had and prices?

N&B'smom · 04-04-2009, 10:36 AM

Crystal - did you get your tickets!??!!

Heather - have fun!! I hope there are at least 3 backstage passes for you guys!!! Tell Jon I miss his hugs. LOL
