I Know, I Know

Ok, I've only published about 10 percent of the comments I've received about my lack of posting... sorry!

Incredibly busy school year here. My classes continue to be challenging and my time seems to get less and less each time I glance at the clock. Ok, realistically, that IS what's happening, but it seems to do so at warp speed. I've been called out into meetings a lot recently and, as I well know, my students tend not to do well with subs, so I'm often left clearing up yesterday's mess and never quite getting a grip on tomorrow. Phew.

Otherwise, life is good. I managed to get Eric's clinics decorated for Christmas before the snow fell (which was November 30th, by the way). I have less than 12 inches of papers to grade (down from nearly 18, and it's only midterm). I actually know what I'm making for dinner tonight, as it's already marinating in the fridge (chicken tikka masala with basmati). I have very few Christmas things I need to make this year, short of a stocking which needs to be done this week, but is not a big deal, and an art table for the kids. Oh, and I need to paint Cavanaugh's doll bed. And make Eric's present. And find something for the dogs. And... you know what, never mind.

Had my 15 year high school reunion a couple of weeks ago -- super fun! Especially going with short dark hair! The girls all recognized me, but it was hysterical watching them skip a beat or two. As awesome as the reunion was, the best part of the weekend was getting to see my very favorite high school teacher for brunch the next morning. If I could have had a very slightly older sister, I'd have wanted it to be her. And yes, Jeanne, I'm working on thoughts for a book, just keep after me!

I know this is short and not nearly as exciting as normal, but I'm still at work and need to get cruising to get Kile soon. I promise I'll post pictures of Cara's wedding and the kids soon!

And no, facebook isn't taking over! I've hardly had time for that either!
