Good Grief!

Just when you think life cannot get any more interesting, it does. Then I guess you just hope that you survive it.

  • Dear friend, Mike, continues his battle with cancer. We love him so much. It is hard to see him going through this.
  • I did my taxes and ... I owed. Big time. No, I mean REALLY BIG TIME! Ouch!
  • Bailee started coughing last night, so we took her to the doctor. She has Influenza A and B. Just that fast. She is miserable and has to miss at least 5 days of school and ballet. This is nearly impossible for her to accept. I'd like to say she was gracious about it all, but she had to be scolded by the doctor to get her cooperation. She basically told Diana that "I'm not staying home from school and you can't make me!" Strange child (for this day and age). She is very upset because she is missing state tests AND the final practices for Peter and the Wolf (ballet) and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (gifted and talented class). Illness is no respector of schedules. Now we are waiting to find out if any of the rest of us will fall victim to the bug. Diana is going in to her doctor to be tested tomorrow.
  • We're taking our high stakes state tests right now. It ties teachers' guts in knots. This year only one student per class is "allowed" to score below proficiency levels. If more than one does - you are labeled as a failure. You gotta love this job. Although being crazy helps.
  • We are doing the warm weather/snowy weather thing right now. It's the season of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde in Idaho. Ick.
  • Pay day is still a week away. That is SO depressing!

Life goes on though, and so do we. I figure you just keep walking or crawling forward despite everything. Eventually, you should make it through. I hope!
