My apologies

I am sorry to those of you who check regularly hoping to find something new and exciting going on in my life, only to find that I have not posted anything since March.  In my defense, it has been very busy since then.  Here are some of the highlights/lowlights.

*My long term sub picked up again, only this time it was for the other parapro-she "resigned".  Not sure on the whole or correct story there, but at least it meant a steady income for me.
*"old" computer died, got virus or something.  It was only 2 years old, but we started getting the "screen of death" as Brian calls it (the blue one with white letters).  Everytime we were able to get on and tried to run virus software and get updates, it would kick us to that blue screen.  We even tried to totally reload everything and start over, but the computer froze when it was just about done.  
*So we stimulated the economy by buying a new computer-a Mac.  Brian has had enough with PC's, so we decided to give a Mac a try.  So far, so good, but it does take some getting used to.  And there are some things that I am no longer able to download because they are not Mac supported.  Oh well, everything comes with a price!
*Spent quite a bit of time getting all my paperwork in order to turn in to teach summer school in Appleton.  I will once again be teaching the Kindergarten Readiness program for the 3rd year and in my 3rd school.
*Attended a memorial service for my great-uncle and was able to catch up with distant relatives.
*Attended a baby shower for my cousin.  Still waiting to find out if she has arrived yet-due tomorrow, I believe.  My other cousin had her 2nd, a boy this time.  Can't wait to see him.
*I had a clean bill of health from the dentist, but Brian had to go back last weekend for a filling redo.
*Attempted another rummage sale.  Was fairly productive, sold our dead computer parts-and made more money then mom and dad!  There is another city-wide rummage in September and I think we are going to try again.  If anyone has anything they want sold, you price it and get it here and we will be happy to sell it for you!! (We won't even keep any % for ourselves!!)
