The Goblin Queen

Hello, It has again been a while since I've made a post here. To be honest it is difficult to come up with some new and exciting news every time. I know it does not have to be ground breaking stuff, but what I'm typing to you guys should at least have some substance. To be absolutely honest, life is a bit boring here, not necessarily in a bad way. Really in a kinda relaxing way that is allowing us to focus on somethings we allowed ourselves to get distracted away from in the past, catching up on our bills is one, having less excuses to finish the novel I've been writing for a long time is another, I've made more progress on that since I've moved here than I have for several years.


So, Naomi is still attempting to find work, the market here is kinda thin so it hasn't been overly easy to find something appropriate, but she is also talking about going back to school for Nursing, I think that's great, I've been trying to get her to go back to school since I graduated in '99, I guess a decade of nagging will get you somewhere :)
I have had a rough week at work, nothing special or out of the ordinary, just the stress of spinning my wheels and a couple pretty good headaches to make the week a long one. I just wish I could get some people to understand that I'm not the enemy, I actually am trying to help improve things for the better and everyone's benefit. But hey, I will just have to keep forging ahead and progress will happen, Really a lot of progress has happened and I do understand that change is never easy for people. We'll get there, it's just baby steps along the way.
The girls have had a pretty good week. report cards are back, and all three scored A's and B's, the only marks are on organization skills, and this has to be something genetic anyhow, I don't worry much about it. They're my little scatter brains, and eventually they do much better, Chloe is beginning to grow out of it. The parent teacher conference for her was 15 minutes of letting me know how "incredible" she is, I admit. that feels pretty good to hear, and it makes me proud.
The girls got a bug up their butts the other night, Infinity had brought home a white 3D snowflake she made in class, and Chloe figured out how to make it so she made one for Fayth out of construction paper. Then they took the scraps from the snowflake and put them together to make a crown for the "Goblin Queen" !! Then the bobby pinned it to Fayth's head. It was fun listening to them giggle and play together, and as you can see from the pics, the crown and flakes turned out pretty cool as well. Infact later in the week, Infinity had to make her own crown for herself.

We still have snow on the ground, but not much, it's disapearing all the time now and I almost have the whole yard back. It's been kinda rainy, crappy for the last few days but today there is a bright blue sky and lotsa sun. I think it'll be a nice day. Too bad I'm "on call" but I guess there's a little dog crap in every lawn. Happy Bunny Day everyone.
