Okay so I've been searching for the perfect job.. one that includes children, art, music, dancing.. you know, a job that's hard to find.

And I take the little guy I Nanny for to Gymboree class, and I wish I could work there so badly. So, to make a long story short, Gymboree posted an ad on Craigslist, see ad:

http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/edu/578831682.html

And I totally jumped on that because A, its awesome, and B, its right on track with what I want to be doing...


and they called me for an interview right away!! Yipee! So tomorrow at 5:30pm you all think those good thoughts of yours for me. I have to sing a song as part of the interview. She said it could be short and simple like "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"... Send me your song recommendations! (I personally think my version of Invisible Touch by Genesis would be killer, but might not be what they are looking for!)


yay! I'm happy!

(Side note, if I do get this offer, I would have to tell my boss that I was leaving to work at Gymboree. I'd have to tell her because we take her son there, and she would totally see me.. waa waa)

    That's awesome!!! Annabelle and I love going to little gym (it's the same thing) and I've thought that it would be so much fun to work there when she's older! I hope you get it, that job will be a blast. You can tell the teachers have so much fun!!

    You know that song that goes "skidamarinkydinkydink skidamarinkydoo...i love you"? That is Annabelle's favorite right now. :D So I recommend it. :D

    Good luck!

    Um...something by the The Killers. Julia LOOOOOVES their stuff...it's catchy and fun. :D

    P.S. I'm kind of half joking. At the girls' http://www.jwtumbles.com class they play all kinds of "grownup" music...The Killers, RHCP, Jack Johnson, etc...

    Aw! you're so kind! I took Music for Elem. Teachers in College and I was SO nervous when for one of our tests when we had to sing a song in front of the whole class, and teach the song as a lesson. I sang 5 little ducks. I was like sweating and shaking for weeks leading up to it, and now the thought doesn't bother me one bit!

    I totally could have rocked the itsy bitsy spider, why did she have to use that as her example!

    Suggestion: I LOVE doing this one song...where you bounce the kids on your knees...something about "march them up to the top of the hill...and march them down again".

    (first verse taken from semi-popular lulliby...the rest is original)



    I see the moon
    The moon sees me
    Under the shade
    Of the old oak tree

    I see the stars
    Shine in the sky
    Over the clouds
    As they roll on by

    Then in the morning
    Up comes the sun
    We'll go outside
    And we'll have some fun
    I love to turn you on

    The Grand Ol' Duke of York!

    The grand old duke of York
    He had ten thousand men
    He marched them up to the top of the hill
    And he marched them down again
    And when they were up they were up
    And when they were down they were down
    And when they were only half-way up
    They were neither up nor down!
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
