All Ready for a Long Weekend

Thank goodness the weekend is here. I'm a little bummed because the house we were considering buying is probably going to be sold in the next few days. We had to wait to get current bank statements, etc., and now that the bank has our paperwork the house is going off the market. It sat for months and now that we can almost move on it, it's gone. Not that I was really attached to that particular house, but it's nearly impossible to find something in a decent neighborhood at a price we can afford. Oh well, at least when we find something else we'll be ready to move ahead. Who'd have thought you'd have to be ready to jump when working with a buyer's market.

Speaking of A/C

I promise this is not all we talk about in Blythe, but this is big news! The transformer at work is basically shot and is in danger of flaming (yes, as in fire) any time during the taxing afternoon hours. So until they get it fixed tomorrow afternoon, school hours are at a minimum. That's right minimum day tomorrow! We should be out around 11:00 a.m. Can I tell you how excited I am? It's a good thing I finished handing out books today so my schedule doesn't get thrown off. When I was in school in Utah we always dream of snow days, but in the California desert we get heat days. Yeah, I know, it's not really that great, but any time you get off work early is a plus! Happy working to everyone else!

Thank Goodness for A/C

Well, it's 113 degrees right now. During the last hour of work I guess some the classrooms were without A/C, but not my library, as far as I could tell. Thank goodness! I had enough hotness last week when the A/C at my house was waiting for repair. Good things I have great in-laws in town that we could stay with. Anyway, one more day of textbook distribution on a massive scale and then I have to find the stragglers. Hope I don't run out of books. Keep your fingers crossed!

I had a great time chatting with some friends online last night and was even bed by 10:30, but am so groggy I had to have some kids repeat their ID numbers three times today. Good thing there's nothing on TV tonight that I'll be tempted to stay up late for.

Yesterday my mom faxed a copy of the proof for my sister's headstone to me. Even seeing her name in stone in the picture doesn't make it same real. I've heard people say that when the actual headstone is set at the grave it hits them, so we'll see. It's almost like it's a task that has be completed without feeling. That's how it was before the funeral. There was so much to do to get things ready that we didn't have much time to think about what had happened. Something I don't think you can understand if you haven't experienced it. I know I didn't.

Here Goes Nothing

Well, I guess it's time to give blogging a shot. Those of you who know me know I'm not a great emailer, journaler or any other type of communication -er. But I love staying up to date with friends by reading their blogs, so I'll give it a whirl.

I spent all weekend doing a whole lot of nothing. I prepped for my sunbeams lesson (boy were the kids crazy today!) and spiced up my myspace page. Not that anyone ever looks at it, but now it represents what's on my mind, so I'm happy with it. I've had a Kenny Chesney song on it for a while that is totally what I think about my sister and thought maybe it was time for a change. However, after a couple hours of a new song, I had to change it back. I just wasn't ready to let it go.
