Why I love Saturdays

Naptime with this guy...and a good book in case I can't sleep.

Technology (or the lack thereof)

This ancient machine is in the copy room at my "new" school. Holy crow!
And "no one" knows how to order staples for the newer copy machines?! Are you kidding me?

Borrowed books

I'm a reader.
... much to my husband's dismay...
I love my nook.
It's kept me from cluttering our place with physical books.
...however, his boss's wife and
I have become fast friends...
And she shares my book addiction.
And she is happy to feed my addiction from her personal collection. (including one based on the true story of the man for which my new school was named.)
So these lovelies are on my shelf...waiting to be consumed...hehehe

Sticky situation

Oh how much fun we've had lately, accompanied by tons of evil maniacal laughter. Nerf dart guns, for the win.

Computer envy

This is the state in which I received my computer at my new school. It's a jumbled, antiquated mess. And the awesome chair it arrived upon? Yeah, that was secretly removed from my office. No words of explanation given. No sorrows passed on to me. Just walked in and "poof" it was gone. I *did* ask about it's whereabouts...and was promptly informed by the hot & cold secretary that it was in HER office. Why? Who knows. She already had one.

...and this us just a small glimpse into why I don't love my current situation... There's so much more.

What I'm Not...

What I'm not (anymore):

• a classroom teacher
• living in my hometown
• seeing my daddy every day
• eating at franco's whenever i'd like
• seeing my best girl friends at random locations
• taking my boys to the only daycare they've known
• driving past the home we've owned for over nine years
• working at the school in which i was a junior high student
• going out & staying late, because i have a longtime babysitter
• planning play dates for my boys with people i've known forever
• running into anyone i know at the target, walmart, hobby lobby ...
• having to hunt for a job in education in this crazy financial crisis
• alone in a town over two hours away from everyone i know
• worrying about finding a place to live in a new city
• uncomfortable with downsizing all our "stuff"
• forgetting to thank GOD for this opportunity
• taking our sweet boys for granted
• living apart from my husband
• living with regrets

On a -jet- (small) plane...

On my way to San Antonio today, from San Angelo. It'll be a small plane (only about 45 passengers). So far these passengers include:
a former professor of mine, an adorable baby girl, two sweet kids, the usual couples, a man in uniform, and this little passenger on her way to Alaska. Should be interesting...
