Ramblings

Friday, November 17, 2006

Last night on my way home from my Shaklee meeting I go to (we meet at Tom's Pancake House in Beaverton), I checked out the new New Seasons Market at Cedar Hills Crossing (another aside...Claire is in the background scolding her brother "don't fais pas ca." he's playing with the lamp on the table and has yet to pull it off the table, but likes to slide it around. claire's finding the scolding role to be her job these days. my scolding tends to be in French so it's interesting Claire choses to do the same...it's cute, kinda funny too).

Anyway, back to New Seasons...I ran into a former colleague from the private high school where I used to teach French. This lady teaches Physics and Chemistry, used to work for Intel, has a daughter...She's a nice lady. We never talked much while I was there, she came during my last year/semester, but I always thought I'd like to get to know her better. Well, she unloaded on me about how stressful the school year already seemed to be...how she didn't think the principal was very flexible, how there were too many assemblies and forums and teachers and students seemed frustrated and burned out! This conversation made me really glad I could go home and not have to wake up at 6am, cart my kids off somewhere, then get to school! I made the best choice for me and my family...

About Me

Name: Sarah

Location: Beaverton, Oregon, United States

I was a French teacher for four years, a life-long dream achieved. Now, I'm taking a serious break to raise a family. I go to a United Methodist Church regularly with my husband, daughter and son. For my future ideal job, I'd love to travel the world eating in great restaurants and write food reviews!!! Someday I'd like to live on the Oregon Coast and be a translator for French tourists! However, in the meantime I'm earning a substantial income with Jewels by Park Lane, subbing & Shaklee!
