Update...

So, its been a little while again since you have been graced by a life update from me. The last couple of weeks have been good and bad... first the good stuff. Depeche Mode is touring this summer!!!!!!!!! Yea!!!!! I am a little excited. SO I called up Kim and told her that she would have the good fortune to go to the Boston or New York show with me and she said, "Are you sure you want to see them here, haven't you seen them enough." I will now give those of you that know me time to gufaw and say "What was she thinking?" To answer her questions, I have seen them 8 times and yes I do really want to see them twice this summer. If I could afford to go to the Vegas show too I probably would. They are highly entertaining!

Anyway in other good news this week I also got my JPASS results back. For those of you that don't know, JPASS is my teacher evaluation and I have to have 4 a year my first 3 years of teaching. If you do not pass you get put on probation and could lose your job. Anyway this semester my JPASS was being done by one of our Vice Principals, she is supposed to be the hardest JPASSer. I have not had her evaluate before so I was a little nervous. Then a couple of weeks ago she came in to observe me on the worst day possible. It was portfolio collection day and without going into the details is basically means chaos. After that I was seriously worried. The second observation went well but I was still worried. Also being the competitive person I am I get mad if I get less than I have before, even if I pass. I know it doesn't really matter but its how I feel. This week she came into give me my results... it was the highest JPASS I have ever received!!! I was so shocked and happily surprised. I do have to say that I think technology gave me a leg up on this one :)

The bad stuff lately includes a funeral for a friend's Mom which was very sad, I feel so bad for her and her sister. I hope they are comforted by all the prayers from friends and family. Also my own family stuff that I will not bore you with. It is more of the same crap I have been dealing with for many years now. Yea. It could be worse though.

Hope you all are having a good March and I will leave you with a bit of wisdom from the X-Files- Scully- "Nonsensical repetitive behavior is a common trait of mental illness." Mulder- "Are you trying to tell me something?"
