Happenings

Last week proved to be crazy busy as I am testing and placing my students in their proper reading groups.  I worked and worked and I am still not done.  I am off to a writing training tomorrow, so some of the work will have to wait until Tuesday.  I am trying to remind myself to pace myself and be kind to me.  I was offered an opportunity to work another half day.  I now have Friday afternoons off.  My paycheck will definitely be a little nicer to us. 

Becca didn't make the softball team, but she is plugging along and doing quite well in orchestra.  Laura is frantically getting ready for her Little Shop of Horrors production.  It helps that Laura can now drive herself to all of the rehearsals.  Tom is getting ready for the big move to a new place for our church.  He is the tech. lead for our church and lots of sound equipment has to be hooked up and readied.  As for me, I am trying to keep things going at home and at school.

This week could prove to be a hard one.  On August 30th, my daddy will be gone for one year.  I suppose it is a celebration of sorts as I KNOW where he is and that he is forever home.  I also KNOW that I will see him again.  I also KNOW that I miss him.  I keep thinking of him.  The way he laughed.  The sound of his voice.  The little things that used to annoy me, but now, I would give anything to have him annoy me just one more time. I selfishly miss him.
