Now that I can watch instantly, I love being able to watch a movie anytime! I will only get DVDs when I’m in my camper, but being able to choose on a whim has helped me do this!
Jill P
is trying to reclaim her life by getting back on her 43thingsI want to keep doing this! I love my cousins in Norway, and I want to visit them as many chances as I can get. I think I might retire to Norway!
Google took over Blogger – so you should just be able to log in with your Google ID. It won’t let me. 43Things – can you please help? I’ve put out a help ticket a couple of times. It’s the reason why I don’t use this site anymore. Shame.
So…after my Windows POS machine crashed (and still trying to recover data), I bought macs and a Time Capsule…and voila – backups are being done on the hour every day!
So she’s going to be 16, and we have good times, and then we have bad times…we’re still working on our relationship, but it’s still a lot better than my mom’s and my relationship when I was that age.
And no one threw me a surprise party – my hubby just delivered a big cake to my work. I would have liked a little more pomp and circumstance and hullabaloo over this one. So…we’ll try again!
We ended up going to the SE Coast – Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Williamsburg, and Washington DC.
This summer’s trip is going to be to NY and Niagara Falls and Canada and Mackinaw Island….
so….
I’m thinking that maybe I should start planning Hawaii for 25?
If I put this off, we’ll never do it. But this is what life after 40 is like – constantly putting others’ needs ahead of mine.
Come to think of it – it’s been what my whole life since motherhood has been about.
Maybe I just need to do it and say whatever happens, screw it – we’re going! Even if we’re divorced! :-)
Ask Missourians to write their legislators encouraging them NOT to support Missouri House Bill 1136 which will eliminate a penalty for not funding gifted education programs to 80% of their current level (read all 19 entries…)
While Missouri still has gifted education, it is now not a line item budget item. In other words, funds for gifted ed are no longer earmarked for that – instead, they are disbursed into the general education fund. Therefore, administrators can choose to use the money elsewhere if needed.
We still have gifted ed – just not as protected as it used to be.
I’ve finished ALL of these this summer! Truly been catching up on my once a month book reading!
I am now in a bookring with In Her Shoes, which is a LONG book, and I’m expecting Hard Eight from Australia, so that will have to be my fall reading, then I have Janet Evanovich’s Nine and Ten here to read up until Christmas. Then I’ll start on some more of the Mt. To Be Read until I can get Eleven and Twelve next Spring – let’s see how the plan unfolds.
came down to a HUGE pissing match! I turned in the 184 page document on June 30th, and I’m done with the place. Good damn riddance!
Sell my property, buy a travel trailer, and spend more time with my kids on their vacations, travelling.... (read all 22 entries…)
to our Yellowstone trip! Whoohooo!
that I’m ridding myself of….thank the Lord….held up my tuition reimbursement paperwork so she could get in her last zinger about my curriculum not being turned in. Because I didn’t want to burn bridges, I did not tell her that because writing curriculum, which was an EXTRA duty I considered and not written specifically into our contract language, was NOT my first priority, that being mindfully present in my CLASSROOM to teach the kids was what I was under contract for, is why I haven’t turned in my curriculum. When I told her I would turn it in June 29, and she gave me this litany about it shouldn’t be turned into a reader because she doesn’t like to ask them to take their summer to read curriculum, I said to her, well, it’s not problem to ask a writer to take their evenings and weekends away from their families in order to write curriculum – what’s the difference? I’m so glad to be out of there; if I didn’t get out when I did, I would have said something totally inappropriate that probably would have gotten me fired!
