HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO TRIPP.

Happy Easter

I don't think there were any sonrise services in Plano this morning. It rained all night long. Will, Patricia, Bill and I went to the first service at our church to be the crowds.


This afternoon were having our Easter meal with seven families from our church.

Back to work

My blog isn't as exciting as Michelle's. I start my day at 6:30. I work out on our W11 fit and then walk three miles around the neighborhood or go walking with Bill.

Most days I work from 11:00 to 6:30. It gives me time to get things done around the house. There have been numerous days that I have worked from 8:45/9:00 until 6:30 with a long lunch break. I am back at the school I taught at for almost 2 years. After a much needed sanity break the director begged for me to come back to school and continue working with my original toddler class.

Bill and I are enjoying having a culinary student living in our house. Patricia has been making fantatic dinners. I love being her sous chef.

More time

It was so much fun spending last night with Tracy and Patricia. They kept me laughing.

I'm waiting to hear about Tracy meeting Jacob for the first time. I know he is going to melt her heart with his cuteness.

Occupation

I wish I knew what the future holds for me in the working world. I've been reading want ads for days at end and nothing is catching my eye.


Keep your fingers crossed for me that the right job will present itself.

March 2,

A year ago I thought I was going to have to say good bye to my husband of 30 years. I didn't have any knowledge of what a stroke what and how it affected a love one.


Today I praise God that Bill's stroke was mild and we continue on.

Back in P-Town

Our week in Arizona went by too quickly.


Now that were back home I have to redirect my thoughts to what type of job is in my future.
I had a lead about being a nanny but that didn't go any where. At the suggestion of my neighbor I've filled out an application on line to work with special need children or as a teachers assistant at the local elementary school. I passed up the chance to assist the PE teacher. It wasn't my faviorite subject when I went to school.

I hope there's an opening just right for me. I can only reorganize things here at home so many times. At the end of the day Bill has been informing me of how many times I walk through his office to get to the trash cans to throw things away!

Back to Arizona

I've written a letter to my exucutive director expressing to her that I will be taking next week off no matter what. I want to cuddle with Jacob again and for longer that 2 1/2 days. If my boss is gracious and lets me have the week off cool if not so be it.

Family is # 1 and that will never change.

If people thought that I was like a mother bear protecting my four children you better watch out for Grandma Deb.

January 28

Texas has been hit by an ice and sleet storm. Eight hundred schools are closed but not the school I work at, we are opening three hours later than normal.


Patricia, Will, Bill and I were hoping the storm would hit when we were out celebrating Patricia's 21st birthday. The sleet hit once we were safely at home.

Patricia and Will's have ice icicles on them its not something you see every day here.
