Ciao

I am done...for this week.
Hopefully next week will be a little quieter. I also hope I'll get everything done that I am planning to finish this weekend.

Just want to go home...

I hate it when I get like this. I can't get anything done at work, but I am constantly looking at the clock waiting for it to turn 5. This is so stupid because then time doesn't pass at all.....
But I know why. The kids are at home, which isn't a problem. There old enough, although my oldest stepson is not able to be alone because of his disability. But my husband is usually home fairly early, but since he is not here I am not going to be home until 6 which is a looooong time and a loooooot of things can happen.....but it'll be ok.
I guess I just want my weekend.
So, back to work!

It's Friday!!!

Finally.
Well, this was a very eventful week. I am glad it is the weekend. I really could use some sleep and time to finish unpacking the last boxes in the office.
I also have to go out tomorrow and get some Easter stuff for the kids.....I hate it when I am late with things like that but it was just too crazy lately.
Well, I will also spend the first half of this weekend without my husband since he had to go to Florida, but luckily he'll be back tomorrow night. I'll watch the kids as good as I can.....well they'll be fine.
Anyways, other than that not much is going on. I hope that soon this cool rainy weather will pass and spring will finally start. I want to get flowers and start working outside.

Urgent

If anybody knows where to get cheap last minute airfare, please let me know.
I am trying to get three people from DC to Jacksonville tomorrow and return on Sunday. It is really important. All I have seen is about 450 dollars or more.
The only other option we have is to drive 12 hours or my husband just goes by himself.

UPDATE: Well, we found one ticket for a fairly good price.
You just have to love UA Airways. This is the second time they helped us above and beyond when we had an emergency.

Why do things happen that just stop you in your tracks? And especially, why do they happen when everything is going just great?

Everybody is a winner

Just found this article in the Houston Chronicle via The Drudge Report.

Houston high school students who've failed core subjects such as English or math would get to move on to the next grade under a proposal HISD trustees are considering as part of the district's effort to reduce its dropout rate.

OK, so it is all about how the numbers look on paper?
How does that benefit the student?
Oh yeah sure, the student then gets advanced, besides failing, and just drops out the next time an opportunity comes around. If you can't take having to repeat a year in school, because you failed, TOUGH! Make room for people who do want to go to school and college and don't waste the teachers' time.
Unbelievable.

nothing going on

Absolutely nothing.
I am too tired to write anything longer than a couple of sentences.
This weather doesn't help either.
Oh well, maybe spring will be here soon. It better.
So, I'll close for today and watch the clock until it's time to leave.

in other news

We got a lot of stuff done this weekend.
We got curtains for the whole house and a rug, a huge vase and some other decorative stuff. We ordered a desk for the office and another bookshelf. That should be here tomorrow.
Yet, we still have not cable TV. They said that they would get the cable fixed the first week of April. They have to wait on a permit from the county. So, let's hope that by the end of the week I can finally watch some TV again. I feel like I have no idea what is going on.

Now I know...

..why I was so tired this morning. I lost an hour!!!
see, I am very slow this morning..it took about 3 and half hours to realize it...and I was thinking of how dark it was this morning and everything...oh well, that's good because that way I know I am not going to oversleep the rest of the week....
