Heading to the end of April!
Hope the month's end finds you well and like me STILL seeking the sun!
"Don't cry Bob returned from Argentina!" "The truth is he thought he'd never leave it." He'll go away again, on the day May 5th again, a mad existence, he keeps his promises, but what a distance."
So, Bob came home, all of his bosses got fired in a company takeover, and then he flew to Milwaukee for a 45 minute training session. Then he babysat Veronica for a day and now he is visiting his parents with Veronica. Busy times for him.
I am on my way to work on Career Ladder Committee Plan and my own, so that I will get paid for all of my extra work. Been busy. Did a writing critique with my ladies. I really need to have some time to write.
I am planning a ladies trip in June with my teaching colleagues and others to go to a book signing with author Janet Evanovich. She writes a hilarious mystery series. We go to the signing and then to a dueling piano bar. If you haven't been to one, it is worth the effort. We are a fun group of women and it should be fun!
Rachel and Cash are book buying in IN. They even lived through the earthquake. Veronica and I miss Baby Cash. We haven't been separated much before and it is hard on us. We miss Rachel too, but Baby Cash is cuter. Next month Cash will be one on the 18th and Veronica will be 7 on the 9th.
Veronica is staying with us while Rachel is book buying. She is busy with soccer and played a couple of good games this weekend. Today she is helping Poppie take care of his parents.
Drew is finishing up this semester and working. He is thinking of joining the military if he can figure out how he will be able to fly. I have mixed feelings about this.
Still haven't heard from the boys.
Cat is alive. Fish is alive. I saw a mouse in the kitchen today, but he is a "pet" that will not be here long.
Have a great week!

What the HECK!
I just had to cover my flowers with sheets to keep them from freezing. It is going to be in the 20's tonight. It is APRIL!
WHAT THE HECK!
WHAT THE HECK!
Long Time No Write
April 13, 2008
Let me begin with this is the longest and most depressing winter on record. Yes, I said winter. It snowed yesterday and today. Yes, snowed. No accumulation, but totally depressing anyway.
I am soooooooooooooooooooo ready for warm weather more than two days in a row.
Bob is still in Argentina. He doesn't have much phone service and I actually had to call his office and make certain he was still alive and not kidnapped by Argentinian Gaucho Desperados. He is alive.
I have been working up a storm. I am somehow on the interview committee for most of the new hires for our building. I am trying to get enough student-parent contact hours to get paid Career Ladder. So embarrassing when the committee chairperson doesn't have enough hours to get paid. Clarification-I have LOTS of hours, just need some specific kinds of them. MAP testing starts this week. I am not giving it, but I still have students. Taught one day at the high school. Enjoyed seeing my former students.
Still in the writing club. Judged a contest. Finished the national bylaws.
Turned 44. Yipee!
Rachel is working and getting ready for book buying. She and Cash will be gone for a couple of weeks. Veronica will be with me.
Drew is not doing much of anything. Hope he is going to class and passing and going to work, but doubt it.
Veronica is doing well in school. I read with her Friday night and she has really improved. Remarkable because she was already good at reading. Alas, MATH is her favorite subject. She is relieved that some of her teeth are coming back in. Our friend Robin sent her a FLAT STANLEY and Veronica has had great fun taking pictures of Stanley and EVERYONE she has ever met in her life.
Cash is a ball of fun. He came to my school the other day, but put his little head down when people tried to talk to him. Later, he called me "Goomama" when he was mad at me. (See Bob, you really need to come home.) He also said cat and carefully threw his last two pieces of waffle on the floor before telling me, "Done." He also walks and runs when he wants to. But ONLY when he want to.
I planted some lovely flowers. Then I brought many of them in the house to escape the FROST!
Talked to Dolores, the boys' maternal grandmother the other day. It was good to talk to her, but she hasn't heard from the boys either. Talked for a minute with Bob's parents. I think they are the same, and just as tired of this crappy weather as I am.
Mom is waffling about her retirement date. I think she is READY!
That is all I have to share. I am just plugging through to another day. Hope you have a good week!
