Must be time to blog!!!

Hello bloggers!! Yes, it has been a painfully long time since my last entry. Reason, you ask? Well, my hope was that my next entry would be about the house we are going to build here in Farmington. Hmmm....if that has not happened yet, I wonder why there is not a blog??!!!

No house as of yet. Land deal...done. Plans...done. Dirt work...not so much done. Apparently there have been several stones thrown in the way according to my sources. However, fingers are still crossed that something will happen soon although that would most assuredly mean there will NOT be a move-in date scheduled for this summer!!!

Craziness abounds here. The weather, that thing that is never consistant, has been VERY nice for a few days suddenly got gloomy today. Lots of little showers here and there and no sunshine...sob, sob, sob!! Thinking that the cold front that came through should be the last one of the year although I have been told that it can still be chilly up to the beginning of May and I know it will be chilly at night even into July!

School. Hmmm...things seem to be going well for Joshua. No one has tried to kick him over to another school recently. He is now on a mood stabilizer, which does seem to help him. Since he has been on it, he now refers to himself as "the new Joshua." Whatever works for him and keeps him a happy kid is fine by me!!

Riley is doing well. She has become a pretty good reader and has also shown a really good knack for math! Go girl! We need a female in this family with good math skills. There is a reason I am an English teacher!

My school has had very few changes. I actually had an unfortunate "run-in" with my principal, and for a while there was wondering if I would have a job come the next week. Hard to explain, but not very professional for a principal to talk to his employees the same way in which he talks to a 14 year-old-kid. I, to no one's surprise, did not take that very well and made sure to tell him so!! Ballsy move on my behalf, but I did it anyway. Since then, no probs, but I know have the other high school calling to see if I am interested in a possible position. HECK YES!!! I went over for an informal interview, and all went very well. Nothing about a position will be official for a while, so it is a waiting game. That is fine since I have LOTS of end-of-year stuff going on anyway.

Oh, well. Just here doing a wait and see for a few more weeks!! Hope all is well in all your time zones!! Take care and post ya later!! : )
