On the bright side

We now have a place to leave, htough we won't be able to move in until Septemeber. It's bigger overall, though some of the public rooms are a little smaller. We will all have to make adjustments, but I think it will work out alright. BD doesn't have to change schools, Alexis does, and Cedes might. We don't know yet how all of that will work out.

We are now packing up the house, or the things that we can pack. We can't pack everything, but we can pack at least part of it up. We are going to start moving as soon as we can, but we can't do anything right this minute, which is a bit hard for us to take.

As far as we can tell, we are just biding our time in this house. No news from thre landlords though we have met other people who know them. Interesting, huh? They feel the same about the wife as Derek does. Very interesting. We just hope they don't become pains in our rears. If they do I am going to be calling the guys commander, but in the meantime, we are going to continue on as we are.

I start teaching again tomorrow. I have two classes again, but I am hoping it is easier this time since I have been through this once now.

My ACSC class is not going as well as I would like. Partially becuase of my turmoil and partially because the instructor is anal. We'll leave it at that.

Sis arrives tomorrow so I am going to pick her up. I will be off all week thought I have to go into work to check a couple of things. Sigh! It never ends.

We are now victims of the economy

Yep, we are victims of the housing market going bust. Our landlords over extended themselves and here we are being told we have to move. Nice, huh?

We are now furiously searching for housing options. Unfortunately, we had completely tapped all of our resrources for funds, so now we are looking at more loans. Sigh! And my credit if kaput! Yep, not very happy right now. Not to mention: I JUST HATE MOVING!

And the kids start back to school Aug 18, so we want to be moved by then or shortly thereafter if we HAVE to wait. And at least one of the kids is probably going to have to move schools. We are tryng really hard to keep BD in high school here. I think we will succeed in that, but still....

Yep, I'm a little stressed. Derek is a little (lot) stressed, and the kids are, well, trying to not make things more difficult.

What day is it?

I am really tired today! Don't know why, but I am. I guess there is a lot going on in my life. I am most definitely tired of being broke. Everything keeps increasing but my paycheck. That should happen next month though and it won't be too soon for me.
I got my grade for the most recent ACSC class I finished. It was an A-. An A is an A is an A. I am not sure that I will do so well in my current class. The instructor is pretty tough, so I have to try harder I guess, though a B is fine with me.
I start teaching again at the end of this month. I am a full faculty member. Woo hoo! Hard to believe isn't it? Can you see me as a teacher? All of my reviews were also good, but I imagine it was mostly the students who did well in the course. That's ok though, it was still nice to hear.
Derek is probably going to be hired on permanently with Cox. He should find that out next week. He's happy about it in terms of knowling he has a job, but he is not always happy about the job itself. I think it's the customers yelling at him and being difficult. I can't blame him.
Micah continues to get bit at daycare. We have finally suggested either Micah or the little girl need to move. He got bit on the cheek today and that was pretty much it. The little girls parents are frustrated and upset with her and I can't blame her. We are just tired of Boo coming home with bite marks, poor baby.
Mason is trying to potty train now. We have had one instance where he poo pooed in the potty. I thought that was a breakthrough but it was a one time event it seems. We are continueing to work on it though. Hopefully he will get it soon.
Time to go to bed.
