The rain this morning was amazing  as I heard it gently start after I wondered..”where is that rain?”  I love it when Nature answers.   Funnish morning, as usual, with my kids, but dammmnnnn I’m tired.  I cannot seem to get any energy back.  Reality has hit, I think, and it’s like all the air went outta my balloon. More on this in emotional post 5.

Class was a tad wild today and it was certainly a reminder that I’m in an ED classroom.  Still, these are my kids and I wouldn’t have it any other way.  Got some terrific news after school – I will be starting at site in December so we are going to get paper work rolling.  Very excited and I hope things “roll” along the right way and quickly.   Had a lovely talk with the mom of Maggie’s friend.  These people are so cool.  We should buy land together and have a community of sorts.  In Europe.Noticed a kick-ass two door sedan on the way home with peeling tinted windows and a the dude driving it looked like  Balki Bartokomous from the hit 80s series “Perfect Strangers”. I know Dude was playing some kick ass tunes like Curtis Mayfield or Rick James.  I need a friend with a  2 door sedan.

 

Ethan really wants me to A) either drive his friends on a school field trip and/or B) be the chaperon on the San Francisco trip.  This could never happen.  While I am an excellent driver, I tend to “talk” to other drivers and tell them all about themselves (and then return to singing) or may (at times) (very, very VERY rarely)(ok, almost daily) use descriptive language.  I do not think the Montessori school would like me very much, even though I was employed there for 5+ years.  As for SF, I think teachers wouldn’t like how I “flip a bitch” to get parking spots, etc.  The day was stressful from the get go – I wore Giants clothes (I swear the principal laughed at me when he say me today) and the game was too much.  One more game (hopefully)  tomorrow during class.  I’ll have to bring my Mophie to class.  Glad the Giants won, it was a tough game until they were up by 2, and even then I was expecting solo homeruns.

Emotional post 5:

Here is my realization:  I live in a self-created fairytale.  This is something i realize every now and

again and it is currently one such time.  I have this idea that there is DUDE out there and we will meet up.  <for those of you who shake your head at me, I am a 4 on the enneagram - a Hopeless Romantic.  Well, being sober, I'm also a Hopless Romantic, but that just means there's more fer you -  See?  I can still make great beer jokes>  I don't want to stay here, which is why I'm lookin' fer love in all the wrong places (because I want to move), but I decided yesterday or the day before that I was going to stop all this love nonsense.  I WON'T, but I just wanted to let you all know I decided that yesterday.  Which leads me to today's closing story:  3 frogs were on a log and one decided to jump off.  How many were left?  Answer: 3 - he had only DECIDED to jump, he hadn't DONE it yet.  And with that, good night.

Pictures:  The blue sky peeking out once it chased my beautiful Rain away; My Texas Guide magazine...My state sends me this once a year or so to present different cities I could live in.  Ethan chose Hill Country/Austin.   Maggie hasn't chosen yet;  Maggie scored in hiding Dude.  Found him tonight as I pre-made tomorrow's coffee (Ethan's hiding spot this morning had me scream and jump in the air).  My kids rock.
