Borrowing time...

I love the end of school. It's this time that we start ripping things down off the walls and throwing junk away that has been accumulating. I don't know why I save everything, but I do. I'm no better at school than I am at home! Heheh.
I have been reading the kids The Borrowers, so as a treat, we watched the movie, too. It's a cute movie. But dang it! Why do they have to have the dumb ol' adults swear in a kids' movie? I mean... really! I think the movie would have been just as good (even better) had John Goodman's character not yelled out, "Damn!" Why? Why in a kid movie? It's so incredibly unnecessary!
It was a nice break in our day, though. We also had another visit from the artist. He brought in a finished piece of work that he had shown the kids when it was still in its beginning phase. The kids were really excited about how it turned out. It was a great example of how a little work and creativity can make something really unusual and interesting.
I received some bad news tonight. Apparently our numbers at school are down--more than had been anticipated. My principal called me into an unofficial meeting after school and let me know that my position at school is not very secure. If the numbers don't increase, I may not be working at this school this Fall. This does not make me a very happy person. I love where I work, and I love working with my colleagues. I have it really good, and I know that if I am shipped off to another school within the district - which is what would happen - I just won't be nearly as happy here.
My principal gave me two choices: tell our business guy in the district office now and either be moved immediately or wait to see if the numbers would increase by Fall, or just wait until Fall to see if the numbers are up. Either way, the possibility is that I could be moved. Now I have to decide if I want to 'look around' over the summer for a new job, or just really really cross my fingers and hope for the best.
Everyone is telling me to not worry about it, but...let's face it. It's not their jobs that are on the line. I will try my hardest to not worry about it, but I can't promise anything.
3 school days left!
