Going back to work....

So call me crazy but I am SO ready to go back to work. Maybe it is my current living arrangement, but I LOVE to go work in my classroom to get some peace and quiet. I really knocked it out in two half days and now I am just organizing and adding more "beach" decor. Since I spend so much time at school I like it to be cozy and clean. I covered my "worn out" couch with a turquoise cover and it changed the whole room. Next I am going to clean everything and get rid of ALL dust. This year we are departmentalizing and I am teaching SCIENCE!! I am super excited and am planning all kinds of cool stuff. Call me crazy- but I love my job!

Moving

A few months ago I had a brilliant idea. Our lease was almost up and the rent was going up again and I thought how great it would be to live in my parents trailer and save money so we could buy a house. What the he** was I thinking? First of all- the only storage big enough to hold all of our crap is $125 a month- the RV park rent is $360 a month- plus I will be using more gas. Even though we will still be saving lots of money- I wonder why I put myself in these situations? I always come up with these great ideas- then I get there and realize I am CRAZY!

I have been packing for days- filled about 20 trash bags- and walked in tonight and it looks like I have nothing accomplished. I do give props to David for getting people to help us move the furniture today and to my mom for cooking all 10 of us a home cooked meal. Needless to say I am going to start taking stuff to the trailer tomorrow and maybe it will start to feel like home. LOL. I never imagined calling a trailer a home.

On a better note- I was really afraid David would think we had no financial worries now so he could continue his year long vacation. But NO- he is so motivated. I think the whole pride thing has kicked in. When he woke up this morning he told me that he was a new man! Not sure what that means yet, but...... he told me when he went to bed tonight that he would be happy living anywhere as long as he had Jackson and me. Awwwwww....... He better find a job soon........ I hear the homeless shelters aren't that comfortable.
