It is what it is

After a very busy week, busy Friday and Saturday just doing stuff, I feel like I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off today.  OOOH sorry that was an horrible analogy.  Up late, slept late and went to late service.  Catching up today on a rainy cold day that is now suddenly sunny but not yet warm.  I have two weeks to recital, trying to decide when to book a flight from Baltimore to Boston (will be in Rehoboth June 21-25th or so), grades are suddenly due, lesson planning, dinner, laundry......argh....why am I soooo busy??????? I am sorry that someone hurt their back but if I hear ONE more complaint I am running thru the front door without it being open.  It is what it is and right now it is not very fun.  Lucy got ahold of one of my paper mache' lemons and destroyed it!  I have conferences, Language Art night, piano, fun run and writing project at my house this week.  Can I squeeze anything else in?????

Back to school!  Only 10 weeks of this school year left.  What a day, what a week.  So much accomplished.  Lots of cleaning, dog walking, friends visited, a new math book gone thru,  shopping, piano practicing, some reading, papers checked, facebook catchup, family catchup, refrigerator cleaned, miles put on my car, lots of sleeping in.....ugh....time to go back to school.  Looking forward to all things especially spring.   Spring has sprung, the grass is riz...wonder where the flowers is.  Enjoying every second of spring this year.  Long awaited.  The robins and cardinals are such a welcome sight and song.  Lucy is learning to go on long walks.  Loving the longer day...it is what it is and I am so glad it is spring.

It was ever soooo nice to sleep in forever this morning.  Met school peeps for lunch in Clawson which is almost a state away.  Cleaned bathrooms, did April flowers for church, graded some papers, made bean/ham (leftover) soup, walked the dog on the most gorgeous April day ever, and enjoyed the fastest April day ever.  It is what it is!

After a wonderful Easter weekend, it was early up to get Andrew to the airport for his trip back to Boston.  This was hard!  Now the last of my 4 were leaving.  As soon as I dropped him off, I had to drive to A2 for my hand appointment.  I won't give the details but it did take my mind off from my misery! I had x-rays and a very painful procedure that if it works (with cortisone injections), I won't need surgery.  It hurt, I cried.  I saw the bill that is being sent to insurance.   Over 900.00.  Unreal!  I still have to have a bone scan and follow up.  Thanks crappy Hamtramck sidewalks.  Really glad that I had some distracting shopping at BBB and lunch with a friend at Papa Vinos.  Once I was home I got to work and cleaned most of the upstairs.  Very therapeutic  since I rarely get a chance to clean.  Just finished a nice long walk with the shoulder dislocater dog.  Brain has done wonders with Lucy but then ...

After an exceptional and busy Easter weekend, we said goodbye to Matt & Dana, Brian and Andrew and I did what all good parents do with their adult children.....we went shopping!  We shopped for a new lease for me only to discover that I had been somehow hit in the front  popping  the pins to my bumper.  This was in addition to the damage on my back bumper from the thug that hit me on Saturday at the drive-thru of McDonalds.  After the 6 of us had a great time in Hamtramck and lunch at Polish Village, one of Matt's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives list places.  Today, the Livonia police told me that I have to file a report in  Detroit .  The good part was that  Andrew photographed the license when the little jerk would not give us his driver's license as he jumped in his car, backed up and took off. His comment was that since there was no damage to his bumper, there could not possibly be any damage to mine (as I was pointing out all the dents, ...
