Its Friday. Thank goodness!! Not only is it Friday; it is payday Friday. Don't know why I felt so relieved when I saw that money in my account this morning but I did. Of course, I have to transfer some to our joint checking account, but I will do that tomorrow.

I'm sad. One of my favorite teachers has resigned. She has been dealing with some very difficult parents and finally one looked at her after an hour long meeting and said, "You knew my son was coming to you all summer long and you did nothing to prepare for him." Now, Dee had this boy last year. He is autistic and has some very challenging behaviors. She lost one para who called her and said, "Dee, I love you and your classroom but I can't face another year with C." Many people feel that way about C. But not Dee. She loves this boy. She does everything in her power to make school work for him and then she gets slammed like that. But this is only one parent of about 5 who has given her so much grief in the last two weeks. She just couldn't take it anymore. Now I worry for the kids, the status of that classroom and frankly for me. Dee and I were a good team. Now I am not sure what will happen. We have two weeks before she is gone so we'll see how it all works out.

Later

Its Thursday. I am ready for the weekend. I want to be able to sleep in and not worry anything. I won't have to clean house cuz I am having JoAnn clean it tomorrow. That means I can cross stitch, read, do school work, whatever without the need to also clean the house. It is in pretty good shape because I cleaned it Sunday but it never hurts to have it done again!

School is going well but I am looking forward to my first days off. I'll have 5 as I am going to Missouri over Labor Day. So, its not the lazy around the house days off but still it isn't school.

Gotta run

Even more sure Sarah was in the house on Monday. Michael got into the cookies on my computer and found that the person on my computer was researching how to get the most from the client. How to approach them, smooze them so to speak. Who else but Sarah? And as Michael said, if it had been anyone else my laptops would have been gone!!! Don't have tine to write more...early morning meeting today..gotta run!

Just a short blog today. Was doing my thing last night and went on to Facebook. Afterwards, I was wondering why. When other people make comments, someone always comments back. I comment back to some people. But very very seldom does anyone ever comment on anything I say. Honestly, it makes me feel invisible. Makes me wonder why I bother.

Its Monday. My third Monday since starting school this year. I start my therapy today and am anxious to see how my kids are doing. Have they regressed over the summer? Have they improved? Are they happy to be working with me again? What's up with the three non verbal kiddos? Will my boss switch assignments on me? (That is a possibility and one that I might not be opposed to.) Questions questions questions!!

I got the house all cleaned up yesterday. I can't believe how much better I feel when the house is dirt, dog hair and dust free; even if it is only for a few minutes!! I also went to the grocery store and restocked my poor bare cabinet! Michael would have had a valid complaint of "no food in the house!!" It was a good day overall. Next week David and JoAnn will clean the house on Friday so I can play all weekend long! I didn't get to cross stitch this weekend which makes me a little sad. I do like to do that too.

I got to see Alyssa on Skype this weekend. She is growing so big! I was watching her sit and play with her toys. Amazing that six months ago she was just this little blob of humanity and now she is an interactive happy child!!! I can hardly wait to get my hands on her in two weeks! I bet she is crawling or close to crawling by the time I get there on Labor Day.

Okay...gotta fix my coffee, pack up the lunch that I made last night, get Buster his food, check the hot tub and then leave for school. Busy busy busy. And Shannon if you are reading this, I will be at Lone Mountain this afternoon if you want to call.

Smiles!

School started

School started for me on Monday. It is good that I have a routine now; just wish it had waited until after Duane left for Toronto again. It was so good having him home. Funny how fast you get used to having someone around and how long it takes you to get used to not having them there. Last night was a long long night. I don't have time to write much because I have to get some breakfast on my way to school but I wanted to put something down. I will try to catch this up tonight when I don't have anything to do!!! All is good. I am not depressed...just missing Duane. bye for now!
