Craziness

This week has been absolutely nuts.

Things at school are all sorts of topsy-turvy right now. We've lost one teacher, and we still have half of a semester left. Several teachers' schedules (including mine) were turned upside down to accommodate the big change. Also, every day brings news of another person at LHS resigning or retiring. Next year will bring a LOT of changes for everyone.

My students took the reading TAKS test on Tuesday. I was really nervous about it, but my kids claim that it was "super easy", so maybe they did well. Either way, it's out of my hands now, and I'm not worrying about it now. ...I've got the EOC to start preparing them for. Lord, help me.

I met with Rev. Scholers yesterday to talk about the wedding. Sitting there in the church office, talking about Chase, our relationship, what kind of wedding we want, our faith, our families, and everything else under the sun with a minister really made the planning seem real. I guess I was too busy enjoying browsing through wedding magazines and talking about the little details that I hadn't really thought about EVERYTHING else that I needed to do. I'm armed with a MASSIVE checklist that has been broken down into sections according to when they need to be done. Little did I know, I'm kind of ahead of schedule. I've got the church and the reception site booked, a DJ lined up, colors picked out, and I've got ideas about flowers and centerpieces. Is it weird that I'm not freaking out about anything yet? I feel like there should be some major anxiety, but there isn't. I'm really enjoying the whole thing, so far.

I can't let all of this craziness get to me. I'm trying to separate myself from it for now, as much as I can...so, as I type this, I'm lounging on the couch with Leroy, waiting for the love of my life to get home from work, watching Thursday night TV (LOVE "The Office") and taking in the wonderful smells of pot roast simmering in the crockpot. It is going to be a great night.
