Pink Flamingo on Toast

The school year has started here in Jax. Kids start on Monday. I'm pretty excited. I am now interpreting at a High School instead of Middle school. I'm hoping the kids aren't as crazy but I'm sure they are just as nuts. I was excited to hear that the principal at the school is someone I've already worked for. He's wonderful! This week has been hectic with meetings and misunderstandings about things. Today it seemed to iron itself out and hopefully we'll all get into our grooves quickly. I loved having my summer off but really am looking forward to having something to do. With all the free time I tended to worry too much about things that I have no control over. (Family... medical drama...the cost of tea in china...you know..) So interpreting will be a nice change. (not that I can always control what comes off my hands...haha)

Wow...it flew by and dragged at the same time. It was supposed to be the summer of fun but it didn't turn out that way. Sure, Vegas was fun, although it wasn't really a vacation as Jerry had to work 14 hour days there. We barely left Caesars. I did get to see one of my dearest friends, Lloyd. I wish we had more time together. Our July trip to Northern Michigan was cancelled as my dad had some medical problems. Instead I spent two weeks in Lansing. Most of the time was spent shuttling back and forth between the Mom and Dad's place and the hospital. I did get to see all my siblings though. That was a HUGE bonus. Just wish we had more time together also. It seems to be the same theme as last year...hospitals, and medical drama. I'm really kind of tired of all that. It's wearing me down. Jerry too... So as summer wraps up, I'm looking forward to getting back to work. At least that will keep me from sitting around and thinking about the worst possible scenarios. Yes,...
