So much has happened in such little time.
I have been back and forth to Europe three times with many interesting adventures.
We went to celebrate Noelenes hen night and did some Pole Dancing lessons. Ten ladies and two poles. It was great fun and I would do it again in a heart beat. We also tried to go dancing but due to jet lag, the night was cut short. But we did have a great day of shopping followed by a great deal of pint drinking in the afternoon. So proud of my little sister who has surrounded herself with such lovely friends. Truly great people.
Have been in Manchester, UK for most Saturdays this month. Many years since I have been there, but it has changed for the better. It is not so gloomy anymore. And the shopping is still great. But really isn't the shopping great every where?
Things don't lool like they are going to slow down. The semester is coming quickly which adds a little stress to things. I have to mark all that stuff that I have put off. I also have an evaluation coming up. YUCK.
I guess that the most exciting thing to report is that I have decided that the time has come for me to move schools. I love my school and I love my kids, but I have been at the same school for 6 years. I am making a move to a school that is still very close to my home, which is great so that I don't have to commute more than 10 minutes. I also am going to be working in a program that is brand new to the school and to the board. I think that it is a great opportunity career wise. Big change to leave my security, but a great change none the less.
Very long weekend, and I need to get some rest.

Well, I have fallen off the wagon. The blog wagon that is.
It is that time of year again. MAY MADDNESS.
Nothing to do with MARCH MADNESS (Basketball).
It has everything to do with the fact that I am out of control busy.
Not only am I teaching Monday to Friday, teaching Literacy Sessions twice a week afterschool, coaching softball, dragon boat racing, spinning, weight training, playing volleyball (starts this week), and working Friday to Sunday evenings (no sleep two out of three nights).
Things are a bit crazy.
Back to work with the airline is great. Sometimes. Interesting people, like the flight attendant who told me that black tea was black, and white tea is tea with milk. Thanks, think I can figure that out. Then she tells me that when she lived in London she was told to put the milk in before the tea, I think not. Only because my sister told me that the bag, the milk, and the water should NEVER be put in at the same time.
And then the girl who wants to work in my section because there is a hot guy that she wants to chat up. And I oblige to save the issue she would create if I didn't. But did he not sleep the entire flight, until landing when I got to chat to him.
Have been in Manchester this weekend and last. Wow, things have changed from the last time that I was there 6 years ago. It was a beautiful day, Sun and all. And I got to do some good shopping. One of the reasons that I stopped going there was that I spent too much money, but have been good this time. Thanks to my great bargain shopping skills.
Wish that I had my sister there with me.
Wanted to text her, but alas my phone is useless. Doesn't even work in my own house.
Have to get on that.
School is busy. Spring hormones are raging. Broke up two fights the other day and have bruises to show for it. Don't get the wrong idea, I am not at a bad school. We RARELY have fights. I just happen to be there when they break out. Hmmmm.
Will try to be more faithful.
Need to sleep, as I have another week in front of me.
