I am sorry I have been awol.

Various things have happened. We are still struggling with the school. The advertisement hasn't gotten us any new students after paying over 1000 dollars. They may trickle in, since the pamphlets don't have any mention of a campaign so people may be just holding on to the info. Hubby is talking about selling the school. ( Read more... )

1 Who do you know would be more likely to stress over small stuff?I think there are many definitions of what "the small stuff" is. I stress over anything I have to do that is not planned in advance, or any event I plan for the school. My hubby stresses over messes. Personally, I think that is much smaller than my issues, but to him it must be super ( Read more... )

I finally finished Inheritance - the last book of the Eragon (Inheritance) series. Wow that was a tedius read.

I finished watching Season 1 and 2 of Ted Lasso, which I heard about from roguem.  It's about an American football coach coaching soccer(football) in the UK.  I've really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next season.  I've also been ( Read more... )

OK so I have sort of run out of stuff to watch again (although I see Lucifer is out? I'm enjoying the wait for now) and have been rewatching a lot of shows I love. Did I mention I rewatched Grimm? I think I did. After that, I went to CW Seed and rewatched The Tomorrow People. I really love this show and I am good with the season finale (minus the ( Read more... )

Life goes on as usual!   But boy is it going fast.  Let's see... work is busy and stressful for some reason, even though new students are coming in, and new teachers are settling in as well and everything is going better than it was a few months ago.  After a few days of nice cool sunny fall weather, we are back to rain.  I'm glad I could go for a ( Read more... )

A typhoon is near and we have been having spots of heavy rain the last few days. Today, it has been raining all morning. It's nice to be able to stay inside on such a day. Audrey told me yesterday that she loves rainy days. It makes her feel energized. I love a rainy day especially when I have a good book to read. I've been reading a lot ( Read more... )

It was Audrey´s 12th birthday yesterday, the 19th. A picture of an art piece from school, her requested cookie pizza for "cake" and some fall pics at the park.
