Holding Pattern

Life is still in a holding pattern for me. There are some xcting changes in the forefront that I can't share just yet, but it promises to be good.

J started on ADHD meds this week-BOO HISS on them. Did NOT work at all. Changing to med #2 tomorrow and hoping for some ability for him to focus on them with far fewer side effects.

Relaxing weekend with nothing xciting on the agenda. That is a good thing.

Have a great one and storms, please stay away.

Over the MOON

I am so over the moon happy, I can't NOT begin to describe it.........

I can't go into too many details, but things are seriously looking up and I could NOT be happier right now.

I am def. going to have an awesome weekend. HOOOOORAY.

Run Away

SOmetimes, you just gotta get away and I did just that this weekend.
I packed my CLOTHING, scrappy stuff and drove up to the riverhouse in Homasassa and spent the weekend scrapping away with Jan.

We got bunches accomplished and caught up on everything, with the exception of sleep. It was a great get away, but it was also VERY nice to come home. I got the biggest hug from lil Blue Eyes and my batteries are recharged this morning.

I scrapped 12 pages and got a mini album nearly done. Hooray for fantastic weekends.

Mixed Emotions

I got a phonecall this morning that upset me-NOT because it was before 8am on a holiday, but because it made me very sad.

Apparently, Lil Bay(also known as the Island Princess)-Daddy's puppy(whom he luved dearly and called me 3x's per day for two years to tell me) and now Lorry's dog, has a mass in her abdomen larger than the average person's fist.

There is no telling at this point if it is operable and it is more than likely cancerous :(
Tomorrow morning she will return to the vet in Hollywood for an ultra sound and we will know more then.
Thing is, she is acting perfectly normally, with the exception of becoming a seriously picky eater. She doesn't appear to be in distress or pain(thankfully).

At 9 years old, this puppy has been MORE than luved..........like you would NOT believe, and I am crying for us............but if it is determined that there is NOT anything to be done, as long as she continues to be Baylee, I am okay. Because ultimately, when the time comes, she gets to go to Heaven to be with my Daddy............

How bad can that be????

Because everyone knows, "he luvs HIS puppy"

It is one day closer

Today is Sunday and that is one day closer to Tuesday and the BIG day.

C'mon Sunday, be good to me and let me get thru til Tuesday, pretty please.

LIMBO

Does anyone remember that "game" of sorts? When you shimmy your way under the pole til it gets too low? Isn't LIMBO what that is called?

Well, my entire life seems to be in limbo right now and truthfully, regardless of the outcome, Tuesday can NOT get here soon enough.
It is stressing me out to remain in limbo and the pole is getting lower and lower. YIKES, c'mon Tuesday, get here already.

where has this month gone??

I just realized that I haven't blogged since the very beginning of the month. Oh my. I wonder if anyone else has noticed? Ha.

Back to school time is always a busy time of year for this teacher, but this year has been MUCH more overwhelming than usual. Not only did I move classrooms-heck, I do that EVERY single year, but I changed grade levels AND subjects. So, I am feeling a bit(okay A LOT) more overwhelmed than usual.

Added to all this stress was the fact that it wasn't only back to school for me, but my lil man began Kindergarten on Tuesday!! I managed to stay dry-eyed, although I am not 100% certain how that happened. He was so darn thrilled to be going to MY school and reminds me daily that Bay Crest is now OUR school. He is loving it, but I will say that I was not at all surprised when on the second day of school, he came home with a check mark in his behavior folder. Oy, gonna be a LONG year.

My kiddos this year seem sweet. I have many of the same ones that I had last year and that is a good thing. Surprising to take note that a bunch of them really seem to have "grown" up over the summer!! Unfortunately, I am still not feeling completely comfy with the math/science curriculum, but that will come with time and me doing MY homework and preparation.

Next Tuesday the 31st may actually bring NUMEROUS changes to my assignment so I am not(well trying not to) stress too too much. As we keep saying, "with the class sign ammendment in full enforcement this year, everything is subject to change."
If a certain someone gets a phonecall on Monday or Tuesday, then my assignment may just change significantly as will my group of students, teaching partner and way more than I am willing to mentally deal with at this point. So, for the time being, I am going thru the motions, doing what I need to do and awaiting Monday/Tuesday before I settle in completely.

I am a true believer that everything happens the way that it is supposed to when it supposed to, so I KNOW that worrying/stressing over any of this is not in my best interest, and Tuesday WILL be here soon enough.

For the time being, I will hang in there and wish only good things for this certain someone, despite the upheaval it may create.

I am MORE than ready for this rainy/crummy weather to be DONE with. We have NOT seen the FLorida sunshine in over a week and although many luv living in Seattle, I NEED me some vitamin D. So, rain rain go away please and while you are at it, Tuesday, would u just hurry up and arrive?

Happy Thursday. Hoping for a sunshine-filled weekend!!
