I'm home, finally. A few days in Fayetteville is a few too many, and I am very glad to be home. There's a lot of catching up I have to do, and still a lot we have to do regarding mom, but at least I'm home, now. It'll be much easier.

Call me anytime. I am bored.

I hope everything works out
LittleFierceOne broke the news for me. I'll probably be going down to Fayetteville, tomorrow, to help go through things and sell things and sort paperwork and all that.
It's hard, but it's coming in waves - I've been able to stay relatively composed when necessary, but have had time to cry. I'm not looking forward to the next step - I hate going through stuff,...

Hugs forever. I'm so sorry.
I hate it when I write a big post and do something stupid to erase it.
Mom's not good... and my aunt confirmed my suspicions that 2-3 years is way too high. We're guessing months.
She's going through mom's bills and insurance stuff, and I'm in the market for car insurance and a cell phone (as those are still in my mother's name). I'll wait...

I talked to my sister, today, who had an update about my mother. The news is not good: lung cancer, bone cancer, and possibly returned breast cancer - treatable, but inoperable. They're giving her 2-3 years.
Her plan is to live at home as long as she can, getting rid of stuff (of which she has a ton) and getting the house ready to sell....

Wow, at least she has what sounds like a pretty responsible plan.
Thanks, by the way.
The kids came back Wednesday. Little kids are way different from big kids. Like, woah.

Tomorrow is the big day. I just tried to spell tomorrow with two m's. Clearly, I need sleep.
I didn't get any lesson plans written (I didn't really have to... unless I want to teach, which I'm not required to do on the first day). I didn't really do much of anything, today, that I wanted to.
Except laundry - sweet, sweet laundry. And I...

Well, week 1 of school is finished. I'm exhausted. And there is still soooo much to do.
But, my mother (whose birthday is on Monday), is stuck in the hospital. Her life is sucking worse than mine, right now, so off to Fayetteville I go, to spread good cheer. I took her flowers last time... I have a card for her, but I'm not sure...

My weekend was neither relaxing not productive, but it was fun. Pics to follow soon.
I hope your mother gets well soon! And, yes, I'm sure if you asked her, she would say that your company is what she'd want more than any thing.

I have a minute to spit out an update. Well, not literally...
School is going great. I'm busy and exhausted (meetings are tiring... it's surprising how much so). Our classroom looks awesome, and tonight (3:30-6:30) is the meet and greet --- I get to meet my students and their parents in a few hours! I'm so excited. I had one of my methods courses, this...

And best wishes to your mom.

Sadista took the words right out of my mouth. Hectic is right! Sounds like you got it under control though!
School is just coasting for me so far. Nothing has "really" started.

SG is changing things... I just noticed the little thing at the top right (your name, message count, MySG link) changed... like, five minutes ago. I'm afraid.
I don't like it... the old one stood out more... at least they didn't move it completely or remove some of the information/links. I just... hate... tweaking. Just leave it! Or make well thought-out, informed changes. You know,...

I know, right?!
I thinking good thoughts for your mother.
School starts for me on Wednesday. I am not ready, but then, I'm not sure I ever would be, so it just needs to start. I have taken full advantage of this summer, so I suppose I've slagged off long enough!
Will we see you and the fierce one at SB's next weekend?

For those who don't know, LittleFierceOne is headed back to UNC in the fall (yes, this fall...)! He has about a week to get all his shit together and has been busting ass trying to run around to get registered and financial aid and everything figured out.
So, if you haven't done so already, go give the man some love!
I'm very proud of him....

Details always get to me as well. If I can picture it, or if I see it and it looks really realistic, I'm likely to be upset by it. And sounds do the same thing. The sounds people make is one of the reasons I can't STAND scenes where someone has their throat slit.

Don't have time for much, but I wanted to say that I passed all my summer classes - two A's and B. My GPA is slowly meandering upward!
Also, summer camp is okay... could be better, but I'm teaching with my best friend and some other cool people this week, so it's been somewhat awesome at times. My kids were better yesterday than they were...

Congrats on the grades! And yes, you DO sound brave.
strongmad:
Thanks for the encouragement.
"Let's have an informal wedding at home with family and friends" was actually where we started. It just somehow continued to evolve. It's going to be a really, really nice day though. I just need to survive until then!
I empathize with your work challenges. In college i actually worked a summer teaching Japanese math systems to inner-city 14-year-olds. You can imagine how well that went!

I've been having romantic, hot, sexy dreams...
...about my effeminate Comm160 TA.
Maybe I'm watching too much gay porn?
(I'm having similar dreams about LittleFierceOne, too, but still...)

Thanks sweetie. Of course, you guys can always come visit any time.

Yes well, if that was me, I'd put a fox tail on the cheerleader and give her lots of spotlight time
But alas, I don't own a Showbiz animatronics display.... although I'd love to find a cat wheel!
