A few complaints.

Grrr....that is what I say when things dont go my way. I am frustrated with my blog color background. But only on the title. How do I change it from that ugly green????? AHH! I have made a few changes because I am procrastinating working. I am suppose to have paperwork done on Friday, and have not started....well I did start, but I lost it on my computer. So, now I must start over. GRRR!!!!!!

My next complaint. I am a procrastinater. I have gone home, with the intention to start this paperwork all week long, and of course have not finished...or began it... GRRR!!!!

My next complaint....My camera broke. I had a nice camera, my lovely father got it for me. And it broke. I have not bought a camera for a while, because my last two cameras have been from my previously mentioned wonderful father. They are PRICEY! I am thinking that ebay is a good idea. Any suggestions? No camera...GRRRR!!!!

Another complaint...Idaho hicks...they dont know squat about education or the environment or the work that goes into it and it shows in the laws that are passed. GRRR!!!! No recycling plastic! GRRR!!!

Almost done with complaints. John has been trying to get this dog for about 3 weeks now. We keep hearing from the lady that she will know at the end of the week. It seems like a great dog, and we SEEM to be second in line, but we have a feeling she is saving it for someone she knows better. GRRR!!!!

Okay one more complaint...my home has no washer or dryer....I cannot wash clothes conveniently at my own will, instead I must travel to do it. So....the outfit I would love to wear for my observation tomorrow (grrr..) I cannot wear because I spilled something on a shirt. GRR!!!

And onto the GOOD THINGS! I am getting a FREE washer dryer on Sunday! If my lovely boyfriend and brother in law will help me out and if all goes well. :) hint hint.

Another good thing....I am turning 28 next week. It has been a good year for 27. I have had a good time. Trying to get life on track. :)

I have good health and know myself well. I try to eat healthy, relax, etc. Which is more than I can say for the past few years. I feel like I am getting things on track.

I have a wonderful family who loves and support me, and who I love to be with. And I can honestly say that I love being with ALL of them. How many people can say that? I also have John, who is wonderful, open, and an all around wonderful guy.

I have a great job that I love and that is stable. I guess you could say I have 2 jobs that are stable. Not many people can say that these days.

I have two cats. :) Who knew I would like that?

Spring is coming and the weather is warming up....who cant love that??!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for reading!

Traveling....

What a crazy last few weeks! Phew! I am exhausted just thinking about it! I apologize for the lack of blogging, but things have been crazy! It started out by me being sick sick sick! I had to take two days off before conferences because I could not seem to get out of bed...literally! I had a wonderful visit with friends in Pasco, Washington, and acquired cold symptoms while I was there. When I got back, my "cold" was full blown, and I could not literally keep my eyes open.

But here is the great thing about my job....I can call in sick...But here is the crappy part.

When a teacher is sick, they can call in sick, but then, they must come into work and prepare their day, while half dead, for someone else. I know I forgot a few things, and I am sure I left my sub wondering, but I did not know what I was doing. But its okay, because they never follow directions anyway. You always come back, and the kids tell you all the stuff they DIDNT do.

So, I was sick for 2 days, and came back in time to teach a full day, and then have conferences that night. I came back to school at 7am the next day for more conferences. Finally, conferences ended, after 2 long days, and immediately I proceeded to get an ear infection. John and I were suppose to leave for Moab the next day. So, we spent all day Friday, getting ready. I have gotten meds for my ear infection and off we go.

Meds however come with side effects. These tend to affect your digestive symptom. Having the runs while camping is not fun. However, I survived with minimal damage. :)

Phew! We had a wonderful time however, and I got MANY bruises to prove it. MANY bruises, painful bruises.

We return from Moab on Saturday, and spend Sunday chilling, and putting things away. School starts back up on monday.

We have a full week of school, which actually wasnt too bad, I had some work to do for my other job that week which was a bit stressful, but all in all, not a bad week. On Friday, we left for Seattle for Easter. We had a great weekend hanging out with family, hiking, eating, etc. We got home on Sunday night at about 11pm, and then it was back to work on Monday.

So....more blogging to come! Things are starting to settle down!
