No news is good news.

Life is plugging along, as life tends to do.

Things are going well, mostly.

Days with the boy are blissful and unpredictable. He makes me laugh everyday. He is thoughtful, loving, and boyish. He drives me nuts, but I have the crazy misfortune of loving him hopelessly.

We have successfully outgrown our apartment. It became QUITE apparent in the last few weeks, as we've had house guests. Luckily, the boy's family members are understanding. Hopefully we will find a bigger place this spring. Originally the plan was to buy a condo or home, but for financial reasons (welcome to life!) that plan is postponed indefinitely. Well, maybe for only a year or two.

Winter is awesome. Ski season is in full swing, and I'm trying to make it every weekend. I got new skiboots, but they are too big. That pisses me off - but hopefully the sales person will work with me. He was supercool when selling me the boots. And he DID want me to go a size smaller. Hopefully I can bat my eyelashes? I've only skied in the boots a couple of times, and only a few runs each time.

Work sucks. No other way to put it. Administration at school changed this year, and the staff has not taken well to the new leadership style. People are negative and distrustful of administration and one another, and it makes the work environment pretty damn near intolerable. Gossip is vicious. I have chosen to focus all of my energy on the kids - after all, they matter the most. Otherwise, I'm holding my head high and trying to get through the next four months. Meanwhile, I'm quietly updating my resume and securing my letters of recommendation. Oh, and contacting principals.

I started a new blog! It's all about the domestic goddess I'm destined to be, minus the cleaning. Anyone who has ever been to my house knows I am unabashedly the world's worst housekeeper. Go through my profile to find it.
