News and such
So I’ve been MIA again. Frankly, blogging is just not capturing my attention. I think it’s because I’ve been working so much, I have too much other things around the house that constantly need to be done. A few more weeks and school is out, so I should be back to play more frequently then. Sorry I haven’t been getting around much. I’ll catch up I promise. Until then, here’s some late breaking news from the home front:
- Been subbing every day, that’s been good and bad
- The bad is, that Monday some emotionally disturbed second grader hit me – got me a good one on the arm
- The really bad, I had to sub in his class again on Thursday, and I still had marks from Monday!
- The good, Friday was an awesome day with a fantastic class of 5th graders — I think I’m revising my favorite grade….
- The really good, MONEY-MONEY-MONEY!
- Put in some more resumes, no permanent classroom yet, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed
- Ducky finally had success and landed a job, it’s in fast food (which she didn’t want, but it’s experience and a paycheck).
- Squirt will from now on be referred to as Lady Bug. (a nicknamed derived from a nickname given to her by her sister eons ago)
- Lady Bug gave me a beautiful pottery bowl for Mother’s day which she earned volunteering at Project Share
- Ducky made me a beautiful rosary
- Hubby took us to Texas Roadhouse and a movie for Mother’s Day
- Iron Man was excellent – fyi – stay after the credits!!
- We paid off the escape and now own outright all three vehicles.
- Hubby is negotiating to sell his silver BMW
- This would allow us to get a different car for either Ducky or me, preferably one a little higher (hey, we’re little, what can we say?) and one with working AC
- The Cooler in the house got turned on (Evaporative cooler, or swamp cooler) and I’m loving the cooler sleeping temps.
- We may have found a church we like
- I can’t believe that Erik is such a dolt, he officially wins the dumbest Survivor ever award, bumping James to second dumbest.
Alright, Enough bullets, I’m bored with myself, and off to check my plants (Plant Tycoon). Have a great night everyone, and HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!!

Happy Mommies Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You certainly have been busy! Sorry you got ‘duked’ by a 2nd grader. What did you do after he hit you? Glad you didn’t have to stay in the class for more than a couple of days…
Happy Mother’s Day!!
Happy Mother’s Day to you too!
It’s hard to blog when you’re so dang busy and then tired of course.
ryc: I think the IRS forgot about us or they’re sending it snail mail instead.
Happy Mother’s Day to you. Yay for money, boo for working so much. It’s good to keep busy though. Trust me I know this.
I was reading Dee’s blog and I got my check right on schedule, Friday too. Bummer that some are having trouble getting it.
Yay for paying off the car, nice dinners, beautiful children and life.
HUGS
Thank you for the comment! We are having a rainy mothers day so we’re going to stay in and watch movies!
That stinks that a 2nd grader HIT you! You must have the patience of a saint!
Hope you Had a great Mommies Day!
Sounds great on all fronts but getting hit. Glad things are looking up for you and yours.
I really understand that busy and blogging thing. You can’t be doing both, or at least be doing both – and doing it well. I’m still trying to get back to it.
I really hope you get the permanent classroom as it appears you’re more than ready for it. Somewhere, there is a class that is going to need you, and I hope that class gets you this fall. Keep that in mind if you get a grade that is less than thrilling for you.
I hope your Mothers Day was sweet!
I think work gets in the way of blogging, especially when it is too busy or too emotional. Glad you have the temperment to handle the little disturbed one…I’d have been tempted to hit him back, just an automatic response I’m afraid.
Sounds like a lovely Mothers day with a special family.
Take care!
