Rain, Rain...

Please come back!!!!

Ok, so it's a bit early for spring showers...but we've been parched all winter and it looks like we are heading into prime, spring camping weather with the prospect of a rather nasty drought already on our hands...unless of course we get the spring floods of a couple years back in place of the showers...and I don't really think anyone welcomes either extreme. Droughts are not pleasant, but neither is the necessity of rain boots and levees. So...our little "extreme weather" watch that blew through just as fast as most late winter storms...well, it could have taken a slower time of it. It might have rained for maybe an hour here...and for the most of that time, it was raining so hard that everything just ran off into the storm gutters. Despite the fact that I am a well-known fan of the sun and warm, mostly dry weather...I would have gladly given a few days over to overcast, slow and steady rain days to help water the earth a bit around here.

So...Rain, Rain...Please come back!!! Cut our state a little slack. Give a drink to the parched, dry land...Before Texas summer gets out of hand!!!

February?? Already?

What? I can't help it!! I work 7 days a week most of the time...it's been busy and even when each day seems to drag they all bundle up and roll by quickly! I mean, I love working with the kids at school...it's not always easy, but I do everything I can to help them and just occassionaly I get to see some results...get to see the "click". That said, I am really looking forward to completing the necessary classes this summer and getting my teacher certification so that doing what I love will pay a more livable wage. I know it's not all about money (and certainly teachers should not get into it for the money...especially long term), but one does need money to live.

Anywho, enough about that...I get by and in, oh, about 7 or 8 months I "should" hopefully be doing much better. Anyway, January was mostly uneventful...we did go down to Austin once to see a band we know in concert. They were awesome and it was a fun trip. We are going down there for another concert in three weeks. Other than that there just doesn't seem to be that much to tell... We bowl every other week on our league. Davy actually bowls every week on another league and I usually go and watch him before we bowl together on our league. I am not very good, but I enjoy it and I think I have improved a tiny bit. At least, that is, I know the mistakes I am making and I have an idea of how to fix the majority of them...but then, most of those fixes start with a new ball, which just isn't happening at the moment so I will keep working on other fixes for the time being.

I don't feel like I do much worth blogging about...what with working every day, I feel it is just an accomplishment to get the laundry done and this week I haven't even done that. So...that reminds me; I need to go do the laundry...and clean the bathroom...and the kitchen...and vacuum...hahaha, I could go on, but you get the picture.
