So I guess the Red Cross have given up on the Wellington Stake or is it the Wellington Stake have canceled the Red Cross. Any way, Yeah! one less job for me! And I think my Stake Birth-Parent Volunteer with the LDS Social services is also up, since we haven't meet since last year. Wow I'm down to three jobs now! For our Humanitarian service project in conjunction with the Women's Broadcast, me made at least 30 file folder games. and hopefully they will be out of the house soon! See ya all this weekend!

Lighthouse to Castle Country Youth Corrections

The other day I was doing the gmail chat thing with Cindy and I told her I was chatting from Detention. She replied, "What is my Dad doing in Detention?" It is my new job. As for my new "job"- I'm only a substitute, teaching at the Detention Center- the youth jail. I was a little concerned at first- not because of the kids- but because I have to teach 6 different class subjects. But I was given full rein to make any adaptations I felt to do.

I go through 7 lock-down doors to get to the classroom, (control has to remotely open each one for me) and then I'm locked up with the staff and the inmates.I even have 3 lock-down doors to get to the rest room. It has been a good thing for me, and the staffers are happy with my performance- they say they would like to keep me. They are surprised by how well I get along with the kids, and how they perform so well for me and are really doing some learning. It looks like the real teacher will be out for another month, at least. The staff would like me to stay- but unless the teacher takes disability- that won't happen, and I'm not wishing anything bad for her. I taught with her at the Lighthouse.

While I've been doing the Detention thing, Mom has been doing the "Grandma in Lehi" thing with Tanner. She has spent most of the past month helping out. So, I've had to "batch" it. That's the time I get to eat what I want and Mom has little if anything to say about it. And, believe it or not- I have lost a few pounds.

TTFN! lol
