Today the executive secretary called and asked if I could meet with a member of the bishopric before church. Peter and I were kind of joking back and forth about what it could be about. I kind of figured that either they were releasing me, giving me a new calling or kicking me out of church. It turned out to be none of those things.
They told me that my teaching partner was being released.
I kind of wondered why they brought me in to just tell me that, but I thought it was nice of them. They told me I'd keep teaching and they weren't calling another team teacher for a while (which is what they told me the week that they released my last team teacher and then they called another teacher the next week).
It wasn't until I was in primary and they were talking about Sister Thompson leaving and I started glaring at the second counselor of the bishopric that I realized why they did what they did. When they released my last team teacher I spent the entire sacrament meeting glaring at the bishopric and then I cried through primary. I think they were trying to give me a heads up so they didn't have to put up with me hating them all through sacrament meeting and crying through primary. At least Sister Thompson had the decency to pick If You're Happy and You Know It as her departing song so everybody didn't cry through I am a Child of God again.
I just like the people I work with and then they keep stealing them. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get over it in a few weeks. Until then I'm sad.

Ooooh, glaring is so-not good. Glare at a book, glare at the program...glare at your kids...but don't glare at the bishop. Sorry to hear you lost your team teacher, but hey, you can still be friends! (You have my permission to glare at her for accepting another calling...j/k)
