Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D Tuesday!! School and work!! Busy day!! I have two classes to teach and another session of State Testing to proctor.

iTired. State testing... two computer monitors, spreadsheets, Zoom room and my phone. All at the same time. Something is wrong with me. I've been completely off sweets since Easter, and seriously limiting my snacking and I gained 5 lbs.

Yes, Junie. but that is no excuse for ignoring your responsibilities here at ITT. Just teasing!! We’ve got senioritis here, too!! Oldest DD is graduating, and it’s just kind of crazy. I’m just happy she’s going to the local junior college next year, so she won’t be moving out. I really couldn’t handle that.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Monday!!😩😩😩 School and work!! We’re starting State Testing this week. Since we are an Independent Study Charter, we do it all remotely, which adds an extra layer of tension to the whole thing. Ugh!! I am proctoring two sessions today.

Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D Sunday!!! It’s always nice to wake up when it’s light outside instead of pitch dark like during the week. Church this morning and then…. hopefully I can just lay around and do nothing the rest of the day. Last night we went to Open House at the girls’s school. It was fine, We did get a free hamburger, which is always nice. The program was good. The choirs sang. This school always has a good choir and madrigals.

Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D Saturday!! And it’s a sunny one!! I slept till almost 8:00 this morning. I was pretty tired. This morning I will go out to the farm and plant some seedlings in my mom’s garden. Open House tonight at the girls’ school. Apparently middle DD’s art project is getting a place of honor. She didn’t tell us. She is good.

We went to Chick Fil-A for middle DD’s birthday which was a week ago. Then to the pet store to get real kitten formula for Grey and then to Costco. What a night.

you need a little Grey kitten. He’s really sweet.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Fri-yay!! School and work!!

So, it’s a boy. He’s a boy.

I love tacos.

I really have no idea. I haven't checked.

Good idea. I support that decision.

I love that.

I honestly don't want a side-gig as a kitten foster mom. I'm too busy and stressed out as it is. But...here we are.

She's not a bobcat. 🤣 She's small, but not as small as Screech. We're trying to teach her to drink from a bottle, but she misses her mom.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Friday Eve!! School and work!! And kitten.

This is so sad. He's a little reject. Apparently there were several and they all got taken, but no one wanted him because he was so ugly, so they were going to take him to the pound. My sweet oldest DD with the soft heart rescued him.

We are getting a new kitten. Temporarily. The girls found her in the store room at school. I love kittens.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Humph Day!! School and work!! My calendar is clear today, which means I have an entire day to get everything done that needed to be done last week, but I haven’t had time to do. I really hope I don’t waste time. It’s supposed to be nice today. Maybe I will take my laptop out on the patio.

we had turkey for dinner. My mom got a turkey br3ast for us at Thanksgiving and it’s been taking up room in the freezer, so I thawed it and roasted it. It was really good. And we had butternut squash risotto with it. That was good, too. And I watched “Alias” while I cleaned up the kitchen. Sydney Bristow is my alter ego. I usually only watch the first couple seasons. After Season 2 it gets really weird and Vaughn becomes a simp.

JJM was here.

You should check it out. I would love to go to Wyoming.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Tuesday!! School and work!! Long day yesterday! but it was good. No complaints.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Monday😩😩😩😩 Tax Day!!🤬🤬😩😩😭😭🤮 DH did get ours filed and paid. Now I’d like to see some road improvements and maybe the police chief and fire chief show up at our house and assure us of their best efforts. School and work. Today is the second of our two yearly in-person teacher in-services. Most of the time we work from home, which can be a little isolating, although I do a lot of visiting with families. But it’s nice to get together with the entire staff (several hundred employees) for a day. They feed us lunch and I like to sit in the back with my friends and talk instead of listening. Rain is gone. We got close to 2” which is amazing and almost unheard of for mid-April. It’ll warm up and be pretty nice this week.
