Writers block

I have actually had a great relaxing weekend. I have had no voice for the last 4 days. I taught one day and took a long weekend. Teaching k with no voice is almost impossible. Although, I will try it Monday due to the fact Spring break is almost here. I would hate to take a day off the week before Break. My sub would hate me. Mr. A is sick 102.6 fever this am. So the two of us have been hanging out on the couch for the last few hours. The only time my son is still is when he is sick. I have enjoyed this quiet time with him. It is nostalgic to have the little one (who is getting very heavy) to sit on my lap just to have mommy hold him.
With his fever he is generating so much heat I had to take a little break. I decided to blog a little. I have sat here ready to type with nothing to type about. I could do a ME, ME, ME, Me but I am not very instreresting. And for some of it, I have no real answers. I am so boring. I have so much going on in my life it is hard to sit and talk only about one thing at a time. I am hoping when I am done I will not be jumping all over the place. So here goes.
With work, I am trying to get into a different school. The one I am in is rough school and I butt heads with my team. However, out of the 4 I did not really get along with last year, the major one left. Next year our grade level chair is leaving. So now it is down to 2 that I do not get along with. And it really is not that I don't get along with them, it is that they are not open to any new ideas. So everytime someone opens their mouth to give an idea they just roll their eyes and act like you are stupid. And of course with 10 years experience, I have lots of ideas that I share and do not really caring if they like them (the ideas) or not. Well, last week my principal asked me if I would be the grade level chair next year. Wow, then I would really feel like I was making a difference in the school and with my grade level. But then, I have the commute and I know another hard year ahead of me. (out of the last 3 years at his school, I finally have a great class. Next year I know I will not be that lucky.) So I have some very hard disions to make. What DO I Do?
The last month I have been running around trying to get pack and move. HEHE! I have a new house. I have to get a picture so that I can show it off. I have all the main things moved but I still have the rental house for the rest of April. I will be slowly moving the shit out of the attic and cleanning it. OMG the dust in the place is ridiculous. The good side to moving is that my arms are looking prettier. Although I am sore as hell. I am living out of boxes for right now but hey, I am in the new house. Sean will not move his stuff down until he sells his place in Reston. Anyone want a $300,000 Condo? 2 Bed rooms! Oh crap, I need to find places for his things. I hate being a pack-rat.
I have also been running around trying to put together a wedding. In like 2 months. For those of you wondering, we are getting married in July due to family conflict anytime after that until July 2007. We are trying not to do that whole live with each other thing until we are married. It will be gorgeous, candles everywhere, my dress, the bridesmaids' dresses, wow! But, OH the work! I am actually enjoying every minute of it. I eloped the first time and really missed out on the whole wedding experience. My parents absolutely love Sean so that is wonderful. They are actually trying to help out. With all that is going on in their life I appreciate them trying to help out.
My mom is slowly recovering from her second surgery this year. She needs to really slow down and not do as much as she is trying to do. On top of that they found a major mold problem in the house. Apparently last year, when my dad tried to put the new microwave in he put a whole in the drainage pipe running behind the kitchen wall. Oh Shit, literally. The mold has been growing for over the last year. They have had to move out of the house for a little less then a week. Replace the wall and have everything cleaned top to bottom by the mold people. Who really threw most things out b/c they could not be cleaned. They lost all their pantry food, all their spices, and their kitchen rug. Mom is really pissed about that one. It was an ugly rug but hey she liked it. Right now, life in their house is getting back to normal. I am surprised mom has not blamed the mold for the cancer, yet. I am glad she is doing better and will not have to redo the Cemo right now. So all is good.
