I've been distracted and haven't been keeping up. So, my bad. Let's see what has been going on, shall we?
February came and went...not much happened.
March: Worked. Spring break was a blast though. Probably the best one I've ever had. Spent a night with my friend Laura. Met up with a bunch of friends and went to the St. Patrick's day parade on Greenville Ave and to see the Toadies. Make that time number one this year. lol. (saw them three times last year) Spent time with my parents and my nieces. Went to a free Stars game =) I went and spent two days with my best friend Becca and her husband Jeff. Spent St. Patrick's day with them....and we had a blast. Spent all day hanging out and playing games. I went to mom's house for a few days and saw my niece Ainsley and her parents, my close friends Megan and Aaron. Then, the fun week ended and work started back up....boo. lol.
April: Thus far has been pretty uneventful. Went to a wedding last weekend with Becca, Jeff and their friend Sam....who's now my friend too. LOL. It's hard not to spend a weekend away with someone and not make a connection. The wedding was in Galveston, and it was probably one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. Work is winding down for the year...I'm dreading summer, other than my two weeks off! lol. I will not dread that. In fact, I'm almost to a point where I am going to decide when I want to take my two weeks off and what I'm going to do for them...even if it's just go hang at dad's pool or go spend time in Lubbock with Becca.
I've made a decision about school, I believe. With all the uncertainty at work due to government and school funding, I've decided to postpone school for a little while longer. Going to try to take my GRE sometime this summer and apply in the fall to go next Spring...God willing I can get it all together. I know it will all work out like it's supposed to. Just got to remember that.
I've started making changes, and I am happier. And things are starting to fall into place...think I've served my time waiting in the wing...the time has come to be front and center.
Ok, well, I didn't sleep very well last night....so I'm going to go take something and go to bed...two more days this week. We can do it.
Much love.

Wow, how lazy I've been....
Ok, so....what's been happening? Well, a lot, but not really. Savvy? Haven't been good at updating, it's been since before Christmas. Soooo....I'll see how good I can do at back tracking.
Spent my two weeks off at Mom's. We had Christmas early because the nieces had to be back at their mom's for Christmas. I hardly got presents but it's okay, cause I got my AWESOME 42' flat screen TV now. Totally awesome. I may go to Ikea this weekend with the fams to get a new TV stand. Finally, I'm starting to be able to have some money left over at the end of the month....
Spent New Years Eve in Lubbock with Becca and Jeff, we had a blast. We had a ton of people at their place and we played games and stuff.
January: Ummmm....not gonna lie, it sucked pretty hard. Work was starting to get back into full swing, everything was going pretty good and the kids were behaving and then BAM! one of the guys that works in my cluster made a big boo-boo and I got "placed" on his campus to cover until a decision had been made....little did I know that it would be permanent...well, for the rest of the year. So, I went from my beloved high school to middle school. And I don't remember the kids being that much different...but they are. It's not the same. I mean, I'm doing my job and working with them as best as I can...but the school rules and dynamic is so much different than what I'm used to. I have a lot of the younger siblings of my kids though and I got a new job title and a raise...so, it's ok, I suppose. Also, I had a friend turn their back on me...and kind of out of the blue. Pretty crappy thing to do...but I've gotten over it. Better off without the drama. But, not going to lie, it was hard to adjust to.
On to more recent events: State funding for education and oh so many things now days is getting pretty rough. So, there's a good chance that my company could get the HUGE axe. There's already been horrible rumors circulating that people with my job statewide are getting pink slips or suffering huge cutbacks. Scares the living crap out of me. So, needless to say, 2011 hasn't started off real great. We've got an All Staff meeting Friday and I guess we'll see what they have to say.
So, I was home sick today and did some thinking....it's time to get this ish on track. I need to get a plan together as to what I am going to do with my future. (The following isn't really in any order)
I think I'm starting to narrow down a choice as to what I'm going to go back to school for. Now, just got to make sure that my grades were good enough, take the GRE and get all my stuff together for applying to Grad schools.
I need a new job. A better paying job. A much better paying job. Especially if Grad school is in my plans. Not to mention, with the possible risk of being "laid off" I for sure need to have something that I'm going to be able to fall back on. I only signed a 6 month lease because I am afraid that I'll have to move if I do find a new job elsewhere...not to mention my job is pretty notorious for moving me. (This is my forth school in 3 years) That being said, it's also the fourth school that's had something WRONG with it and they stick me there. I'm pretty over it.
Anyways, there's other stuff that needs to be worked on, but I'm not putting all my stuff on the interwebs. lol. Not everyone needs to know everything about my life. Anywho, hope this finds you healthy and happy. And hopefully your 2011 isn't sucking as bad as mine thus far. It'll get better, it has got to.
Much love.
