Almost over

Well, obviously I've neglected this blog quite a lot this school year. It's been an adventure to say the least. Very time consuming year, but that has caused it to go by SUPER quick. This week should move pretty quickly... we'll be wrapping up reading Charlotte's Web as a class and then will watch the movie Friday :) The kids are excited! They were very excited to read the book together. We'll have our field day next week, awards ceremonies, and our end of the year party.

This has been an emotional year. Due to the TX financial budget set by congress, education got a much smaller cut of money. Due to this, this wonderful teacher is being let go due to a RIF. :( Yay. There's a chance I'll get brought back (because of retirements/resignations/etc.) but there's also a possibility I won't have my job next year. Meh. I haven't really got much more to say about it. Unfortunately that's how it goes.

I've had a very tumultuous year; especially being in and out of the cardiologists office. LOVE THAT. (note sarcasm) I can't tell you how great it is to be a 29 year old woman with ventricular tachycardia (arrhythmia)... stress at work definitely didn't help things. If I didn't know better, my loss of job could be God telling me to slow down and find something else? Who knows... time will tell.

I have a new blog I just started recently. After my diagnosis and treatment, I decided to start up an aquarium. My mom started one back when I was in elementary school and she was the caretaker of it. It was a 10 gallon. I decided to get into the hobby because she didn't care to do any more of the upkeep and I wanted more/new fish. So, I got a 20 gallon, and I've already gone through my first illness in the tank with only 2 casualties out of 12 fish... pretty good odds. Anyhow, I'm really into it... and all the dorky ins and outs which included testing the water regularly to make sure that the ammonia and pH levels stay in the right ranges. :) Satisfies that scientist in me, and I love watching the fish play in the bubble wall in there. I'll eventually post a video of the fish in the tank. Anyhow, maybe I'll actually update regularly when summer begins. We're on the single digit count down now! After tomorrow there will only be 7.5 days of school (w/kiddos anyway) left!
