A Chance to Blog

How nice. Of course, I really should finish the laundry, wash the floors, yadda yadda yadda.
But I just discovered that dear sis Cait left series 3 of "The Vicar of Dibley" for me in my series 1 case (yes, dear, it took me that long to find it. That's life!) and while my hubby is out running the sound board at church this morning, I'm enjoying the bawdy situational comedy of a 'randy' rural vicar on the BBC. Hey, it has religious themes. Gotta love Sunday.
*that crack of thunder you just heard was me being struck from above, heathen that I am*

Life is pretty good. Been sick for weeks, it seems. 2nd round of antibiotics seems to be taking effect nicely, and I'm starting a nasal spray soon. Not that you needed to know that, but hey, YOU checked my blog, YOU asked for it. School is nice, starting up spring chorus, planned out all my lessons till the end of the year so I feel like I've got a nice handle on it. My classroom is MESSY as hell...just random stuff needs to find a home. Handbells Enrichement class starts Wednesday, and amazingly enough I've already written and marked the first piece! Imagine, I'm prepared! Maddie's good - she learns new words pretty much daily...let's see, she says: Hi, shoe, tree, mamma, daddy, nana, choo-choo, night-night, up, no, yes, knee, doggie, max, um...oh, and PACI! This is quite an interesting development, since she can now ask for the paci, which she loves so dearly. She is not allowed to have it except for sleep. (Although I'm sure she and Nana break that rule from time to time, I often find the paci out in the living room, etc., but hey, when we ditch them, we pitch them, so when they're gone, they're gone.) She's awesome, entertaining, and she has a pretty easy routine. She's still very healthy (had one cold, knock wood). She's taken a few steps independently, and walks pushing toys and holding onto your finger, but she's made up her mind that crawling is faster. Oh, and she still has no teeth. According to child development sites, she's still within normal development range as far as this goes. Of course, this doesn't stop female friends of mine from gasping and suggesting I take her to the doctor when they hear that she's not cut a tooth yet. Other women suck, they're just there to make you worry.

Super Tuesday is almost upon us, and I actually find myself undecided, still. I'm hovering between Obama and Clinton. Duh. Either way, the world will be a better place...I just have to decide whether I care more about education reform or healthcare reform, at the time I actually go and vote. Cause I like Hill's healthcare, it's more inclusive. But Barak has come right out and said that teaching to the test does not a well-rounded student make, and he will fix No Child Left Behind. (Or at least fund the damn thing?!?! Hello!) I also have to see if I think people will be more likely to vote for a "white black guy" or a "ball-busting bitch". Bigots abound, you have to predict how they'll vote. Cause we will NOT have McCain, dang it. None of that, please!

Well, off to the laundry room I go. I actually got all ours done on Saturday.

OH! And CHEERS to my darling husband who did our taxes and squeezed out every little deduction possible and found us enough $ to entirely pay off our credit card. Take that, Visa.
