Is there a brand of powdered sugar out there that DOES NOT have cornstarch as an ingrediant?

I would like to use it for creating frosting, but my daughter is allergice to corn.

Thanks!

YAY!
I have a 2nd interview at the Montessori at 10am on Friday!!!!

This sounds weird but in a way I am almost scared that I will get the job.

Yes, I need a job. Yes, I like the way this one sounds, BUT, I am also scared because

- I have very little experience dealing with chilren on a one-to-one basis

- I am scared that I will suck at the job and screw up some child's academic life forever

- I am consciously remembering the way I was ridiculed as a student and am frightened of having to deal with that as a teacher

I know that sounds ridiculous. I know it does, logically. But it is what it is. I have a lot of fears about this job that are coming to the surface now that I know I have a real shot at getting it. The pricipal of the school said the woman I interviewed with (the asst. principal) gave me a shining review and was very eager to give me a second interview.

It's weird. I need a job so badly, and this one sounds like it has potential to be truly great, but I am scared and nervous about it. I don't even know if I will get it yet, but I have a decent shot, and that means that I could be an assistant teacher in 6 weeks time, coming in and forming bonds with children, working directly with a head teacher, taking the kids on field trips, helping them learn, helping to resolve conflicts, and listening to them, talking to them, dealing with them 5 days a week.

It would also mean a reliable and steady income, several weeks off for the kid's vacation days, getting home by 3:45-4:00pm every weekday.

Conversely, that means going to bed by 10 or 11 pm, almost never talking to Jeff on the weekdays since I will have no computer or text access at work, possibly having to take the kids on a week long camping trip in the Spring, and maybe having to reschedule the vacation that my dad and I are going on the second week of September. I am pretty sure the principal will tell me that if I am offered the job, I will be asked to reschedule the trip. That's not a huge deal, but it is an inconvenience I would rather not deal with if at all possible.

There are pros and cons to this job. The biggest con is that I am not 100% sure I would be good at it. I have had few dealings with small children and am very concerned that I might just not be good at it. But I supposed that if I got it and was terrible at it, I would be told by someone and we could work on it.

I really like the fact that Montessori teaches peace advocation and acceptance to children, as well as how to get by in the real world from a very, very early age. Kids aren't just taught academic stuff inside the classroom. They are also taught how to do practical, everyday things, care for themselves and others as well as pets, and live a moral, ethical life WITHOUT introducing any sort of religion. That's nice. I'd like knowing that I was part of that, certainly.

I guess we'll see how it goes...

I thought I would share the outfit I'm wearing to roller derby practice tonight!  Fashion-wise, don't take me too seriously...I'm mostly dressed for practicality and, you know, sports.  Just imagine this on roller skates with big ol' knee pads, a sticker-plastered skate helmet and a fierce grimace!  ;)
