Mid-March

Winter still hanging around; maybe even a bit more next week.
Had another snow day a couple of weeks ago, the first week of March.
Last year it was already in the 70s around this time.
Given the drought last year, I am not complaining.

Work is work is work.
Fading out a bit; Not ineffective, although somewhat detached.
Focusing on a handful of students and that is about it.  Want to make sure they get everything I can do to end the year on a high note.

No job prospects for next year.
Never heard back from the positions I applied to earlier.
Rockford will post sometime next month.
Might be a possibility to return to Freeport, but that is yet to be determined; heard from a couple of Freeport people.  District has not posted positions anyway, and distance will still be an issue.

Going to Vegas at the end of the month.
Just Trey and I, so Dad can meet him.
Only for a few days (my spring break- Trey is missing school).

Signed "permanency" papers for Trey, getting the ball rolling for adoption.
He's doing well.
Did not get into Washington Gifted, but White Swan is OK for another couple of years.
Still having some behavioral issues, but nothing major, and probably is age-related.
Observing some defiance/ bad choices when given a choice.
Good report card- "on-level" on most, higher in reading.

Had his birthday a few weeks ago- bowling party with friends and then family bday dinner.
We got him a bike; we just need the weather to cooperate.

Party (and other expenses- car problem) dipped into my financial pad, so somewhat nervous.
Riding in the red; need to get back into the black soon.

Gym schedule going good.
Waining a bit last week, but definitely some gains overall.

Otherwise, OK.
Have a full plate, tired, and a bit unnerved, but OK.
