Okay, I stink at keeping up to date on my posts.

Things I've done recently:

• Had our housewarming party during the floods - our basement stayed bone dry, thank you
• Got bronchitis/pnenomia
• Went to DMB at Alpine Valley while on meds for above conditions
• Worked my ass off getting my room in order
• Developed a filing system that works for me (instead of PILES of papers on my desk)
• Planned the entire English 10 semester out - complete with calendar
• I've been experimentally teaching a team-taught class (which is going great, BTW)
• Spilled a cup of noodles all over my laptop
• Was asked to be a special guest at a swim meet because I've positively influenced one of the girls on the team
• Working on starting a video club
• Thinking ahead to Mock Trial
• Obtained THREE project pass kids (when I couldn't even get one last year)
• Pissed and moaned about not having info on special needs kids when I need it
• Had an awesome discussion in said team-taught class
• Got a sweet riding lawn mower
• Got screwed by our old landlord who bounced the deposit check they gave us, thus causing us to be $800 in the hole
• Screamed at the old landlord regarding the bounced deposit check
• Decided that we need a budget so we don't end up like the landlord and his homeschooled ditz of a wife who is now having their fifth child, which they obviously cannot afford

Okay, I now sound like a complete maniac, which may or may not be true. I just want to teach kids the best that I can, pay my bills, and enjoy my house, my husband, and our pets. Is that so much to ask?
