58 days . . . 58 days! Oh me oh my, what wired kids I do have. Oy vey! From the moment they walked in the door this morning, till the moment I brought the remaining 4 to the lunchroom after school - wild, wild, wild!

My second graders finished their Math unit today, and started the next one. Hee. While we were out for PE the 3rd grade class came out (they were my kids once) to explode their volcanoes. All my kids wanted to watch of course. They were amazingly well behaved. Amazing how kids can behave when they're getting to do something they really want to do.

After school we had a staff meeting. First one in a while. One of our teachers said that he still needed $200 to be able to buy some water bottles to sell for a fundraiser. A couple of teachers piped up and said that if we all (10 of us) donated $20 he'd have his $200. In my head I'm going "no way! But I guess I'll take the $20 out of my tithe money, because I'd look like a gimp if I ddin't contribute. Don't you just love it when other people volunteer your money? NOT!

I stopped by Albertson's to get some milk, and ended up getting some of the oatmeal that was on sale. While I was out my mom called me, but I didn't hear it till it had already gone to voicemail. I called her when I got home. She'd had a great time on the cruise with her friend - and had miracuously (sp?) stayed out of the casino - if I can believe her.

We were talking about the next time we could get together, and I mentioned Spring Break. She told me that that week is when my dad's trial is going to start (if it actually goes to trial). I'll have to miss the first day because I already scheduled a doctor's appointment for that morning. I really don't want to spend my spring break in a courtroom. I have so much packing and decluttering I need to do, not to mention getting stuff done on my Real Estate courses. I know I'll end up going anyway, cuz thats what families are for, right? To support each other in good and bad times.

This morning I hit my head hard on the edge of my bed. All day long I've had a massive headache and felt nautious. By the time I got home and got off the phone with my mom, it was almost dark. So I skipped exercise today. Will NOT skip tomorrow.

NYPD Blue last night was just so awesome. Andy's in charge of the 15th now. Ahhhh!! I so called it. Only one more to go.

I got my new electric bill today -- $53.07 -- down another $4!! It's kind of funny seeing the average temperature dropping each month, and the average billing amount dropping as well.
