So, and update has been long overdue from my camp. I’ve been so terribly busy doing absolutely nothing, it would seem. We moved to the other side of the city last month, and Amy enrolled in a different school district. I hate myself for how pessimistic I’ve become towards the public school system. I keep trying to put myself in the proper frame of mind, to not look for the negative. So far, I’ve been ok, but my head cries out for a new situation. You know, the one where I win the lotto and am able to homeschool her with the energy and time I don’t have as a WOHM. I don’t know how I’m going to react next school year when I put Brody in public school for the first time. I remember Amy’s first week of public kindergarten, her school managed to lose her twice in the first week, perhaps engaging my panic button with from the very beginning.
We still have a million boxes to unpack. We went dropped a lot of square footage in exchange for a cleaner, safer place in a decent school district, and it seems like we might be on top of each other sometimes. Again, that’s probably due to the boxes everywhere. The unpacking project got slammed to stop a few weeks ago when I managed to find the flu, or it found me here at work. After two days straight in bed, taking the boy to preschool in my pajamas, and tossing an open box of Dora the Explorer cereal on the table for dinner, the boy got it next, and then the girl. What’s sad is that none of us yet have fully recovered. It’s been over two weeks, and I still feel like parts of my lungs are trying to escape their confinement of my chest.
For the next bit of fun news: I’m headed to Corpus Christi this weekend. The kids will be on their way to Ft Worth for Spring Break, and I have the luck of training a new staff member down on the coast. The first plan was to send her here, but I suppose I got the privilege of travel since I’ve been with the company for a while. I have no clue what to do with my tiny bit of free time I’ll have while that close to the beach! I hope I’ll be creative enough not to hole up in the hotel room watching HBO, and that I’ll have the strength after that drive to find someplace fun to play. Any suggestions?
And that’s really about it. My social life is still in hibernation for the winter. Though after long consideration, I have come to the conclusion, though somewhat random, that I really, really dig guys in makeup. Not necessarily dresses, though that’s kind of cute, but pretty, pretty faces. Damn you Nick Rhodes and Eddie Izzard. Now, if I could only convince Anthony Bourdain that he’d look that much sexier in eyeliner…
