Ch ch changes

It is official, or as official as anything gets in this ever-changing world in which we live in, that I will teach 7th grade next year. Not a major change, as most of the same stuff is taught, in the same order.

Another minor milestone, mother-in-law should come home on Saturday. Her home was inspected by her physical therapist and given a greenlight. We are planning a little celebration. She knows she has a lot of work still to do, but this is a huge step toward normalcy.

Spring is in full gear here. Forsythia blooms have faded, but replaced by azaleas. Need to mow the lawn a second time, and probably edge. Overseeding the lawn now that the week of rains has passed. Trim a lot of the vine-stuff in the backyard - trumpet vine, honeysuckle, etc.

Taxes are in, just waiting for the big money to roll in. Are we pumping it back into the economy? Hell no. The windfall will probably cover a quarter of tuition for the girls. And while I am thinking of finances, I need to start thinking about another in a series of menial 2-month jobs for the summer.
