A whole month????

I can't believe it's been a whole month since my last entry... but that is just how buys I have been. And I don't really have the energy to make a full blown blog at this point - I just wanted to post and let any of you who might stop by here ( and I doubt if there really are any of you) that I'm still here. My volleyball team is 3-1 right now (pretty cool - although that one loss should have been a win if the other team had actually decided they were going to try to set up the ball and hit it, rather than just bumping it over the net.... arg). Anyway, my days are taken up with volleyball practice, teaching, volleyball practice, grading, and planning. I hardly sleep. But it's the way life is for now - it is good to be busy again. And I LOVE most of my kids in class - there's always one or two you just want to hog tie to the bumper of your car and drag around the parking lot for a couple of hours - but they are a trip, and they amaze me. I guess that's what keeps me coming back... and what might just drive me over the edge of insanity in time.

We also have been in the process of purchasing a house - a most beautiful, perfect and wonderous place with ALL of the prerequisites that we have talked about wanting in a house here - including the palm trees and in ground pool. I cannot wait to get out of the wretched hell-hole of an apartment! One more week..... wish us luck, and I hope to return sometime soon. At least when volleyball season is over, I'll have a little more time for this... even though I'll miss the season.
