Woke up to heavy fog.  Guess that’s to be expected with all that rain.  Phyllisann and I should leave for Lexington a little bit early.  We have to drive through some areas that cross a few rivers and valleys.

The retreat was okay yesterday.  I’ve been assigned to mentor a new teacher and I met her.  Seems really nice.  Not really mentoring…more like being a buddy to her because she’s new to the school and I’m supposed to help her figure out the ropes, introduce her to people and try to make her comfortable.  Not a bad idea for staff that are new to the school.

Nothing much going on…I went to the retreat yesterday and that meant twelve hours from the time I got up until I got home.  DS fixed dinner and I watched So You Think You Can Dance for a couple of hours and then hit the bed.  DIL showed up with her new boyfriend at 6:30 to pick up her bike, her mirror, an old “dome” hairdryer from the 60s and a few more clothes.  I think that’s about all of her stuff.  I’m sure DS will come across more but she says she doesn’t know of anything else.  Sure do wish they’d assign a permanent caseworker.  DIL says she’ll bring the kids at 8:30 this morning but I told her I wouldn’t be here.  DH is home and she said that would be fine.

Brandi, I’m with ya!  Let’s make this the best year ever.  It seems like forever since I’ve been eating well and working out.  Last spring, it seemed like school consumed me and I couldn’t find time to get on track.  Now, I’m hoping getting back to work will help me get back to being healthy.  At any rate, I’m getting geared up to start all over again!
