I know it has been awhile since I have blogged but life seems to be happening fast  that I have not time to catch up with it.  I have a son, Chris, in the hospital with his right leg removed, a job change coming to who knows where, and Ali went to another placement because we were having problems with mom being too demanding.  Life is certainly happening fast this month!  I have a plan though, I will start packing up the room I am in and collecting my stuff I have lent all over the school.  Three of us are renting a storage facility near the school and storing all of our stuff.  When we find out where we are going, we will decide what to do about the rental.  I have a feeling I will be taking the lion's share of space so I will probably end up with it the longest.  I am not even sure I will take  full-time job next year, might sub instead.  Lots of time to decide, almost 20 more days.  Well, back to Chris - I am sure he will do fine once the initial shock wears off, he is already handling it better than I would be. He has a good future ahead of him though, prosthetics have come a long way in the last 20 years or so.  He will even be able to pick a prostetic that will allow him to participate in some of the things he loves, like camping and hiking.  I am not sure he should even look at the one that allows him to ride a motorcycle but I am not sure how much luck I will have with that.  Chad is moving into a new apartment this week, interesting process - he is moving to another apartment in the same complex, a brand new one.  I think he is enjoying it to some extent just because everything is new and works!  He never reports anything that goes wrong with his apartments!  James is still struggling with his children issues. I don't know too much about the details but I know that exactly what is supposed to happen, will happen as is the same with Chris.  Nikki's job is going well but hogging a lot of her time - a split schedule will do that. I think she is coming over one night this week to update her resume just in case the company moves elsewhere.  I don't think she cares for the split shift anyway - to stressfull!  I will get my contract at work straightened out and do that teacher thing I do so well elsewhere, hopefully where Wendy will be principal but you never know.  I am excited about our end of year party and starting the summer, I will be working two weeks for the state of Arizona Department of Education aligning math and science curriculum and that is always fun.  We will, hopefully, be taking all the kiddlings so that we can kind of make it a family vacation and visit some of the water parks and theme parks in Phoenix.  It is so close to us and yet we never have explored it fully, I am looking forward to doing the trip.  Then I have surgery on my right hand and then, hopefully, we can all (including Chris) do a trip to Florida and Oklahoma so the whole family can meet our newest addition, Emilio, and see Chris again - Bob and I too!  Well, gotta go.  Love and best wishes to all my myspace friends!
