The last week
Well, I haven't posted, but not because there haven't been positive things happening. I haven't posted just because.
Today-Wednesday
1. House news. That's all I'm going to say for now. Don't want the Fates to hear :)
2. Steven was very supportive when I cried before school this morning.
3. Organic ice cream.
4. I've taken a personal day on Friday.
5. Supportive assistant principal
Last night I woke up to Zoot standing over me. Not unusual. That's her way of waking me up when she needs to go to the bathroom at 1:30 am. But I heard a lot of barking outside. I could tell that it was our neighbor's (D) beagle. Again, not too unusual. I put Zoot on the leash and cracked the door open. I didn't want the dogs running after deer, rabbit, opossum, skunk, etc. Well, I saw Jersey, the mom beagle, in the middle of the street. I shoved my dogs back inside and went to get Jersey. I heard D say, 'There she is.' I let Jersey sniff me and then walked her back over to her house. As I was walking with her I saw 10 puppies explode out of the kennel. It was a funny sight because all of a sudden all the puppies were out and wandering around the porch and under the porch. I helped D round everybody back into the kennel. I stood in the kennel and held puppies and mom at bay while D shoved puppies back in the kennel. She was very grateful. It made me feel good to help her out. About a month ago our other neighbor (P) helped out with Tim for a week. We tried to give her some BBQ gift certificates but she wouldn't take them. She just said she knew we would help her if she needed it (she has two Pomeranians). Even though it wasn't helping her, I felt like I was paying back P's kindness by helping D with the beagles.

Tuesday
1. Tim doesn't pee on our bed or on us.
2. We had yummy pizza at Valentino's. Pepperoni, green olive, mushroom, and spinach on whole wheat.
3. We split the class in language arts today. One group in the regular room, and one group in the science room (the science teacher had her conference). It went really well.
4. KC doesn't pee on us or on our bed.
5. We have a washer and dryer that we can just take freshly peed-on laundry to. We don't have to go to the laundry mat.
6. The ferrets don't have the opportunity to pee on our bed.

1. The workshop I went to wasn't a total waste of time.

I'm Back
I am alive. I just haven't wanted or needed to post in a very long time. but this week Lent started and I have a few new goals. So, I'll be posting most everyday some positive things that happened that day. It's been a very stressful year and it's easy to start focusing on all the stressful/negative stuff.
Thursday: I honestly can't remember right now. But I did think of 5 positives at the end of the day.
Friday:
1. Student I finally being moved to resource. This is the best placement for him.
2. Student C did a lot of work without much prodding.
3. Most of my class had a great week and one of the teacher/mentors let us use their room for a spontaneous surprise/reward for the kids. They got to play guitar hero instead of having Social Studies. (Since I spend at least 8 hours a day at school, a lot of these are going to be school related.)
4. We got some promising news on the house. I don't want to say anything else because the Fates might hear. :) It's hard to not be excited.
5. Steven is a wonderful husband. My blood sugar has been very weird since I was sick a couple of weekends ago. He went to the store and bought some high protein food for me last night at about 10pm. He also puts up with how cranky I get.
Well, that's it for now. I need to go to school to put in grades because I'll be at a workshop on Monday.
Oh, also I'm posting pictures to Flickr again. Sean McMains started A Photo A Day for the month of February and Stephanie and I are joining him. Go look.
