Behind the times

A lot has been going on around here. Spring has hit in full force and the weather has been gorgeous (aside from a tornado and a flood watch). In Washington you knew spring was coming by the tulips, daffodils and crocuses. Here its the azaleas. And they are everywhere. Kind of like Tulips in Mt Vernon. We went to the Azalea festival last weekend, a big street fair. We had to leave before we hit the rides though, it started to rain and people here are wusses about a little rain.
We also have a new puppy. Wes the big softy that he is brought her home after a co worker had brought in a litter that had been abandoned on his door step. Briana got to name her and named her Sassy. She is very cute and the house training is coming along.
It was again report card time, and as usual the kids did very well. I also got brave and spoke at Mackenzie's career day. Joey's band participated in a state competition, something like the Abbotsford festival for those that remember my band days. For a middle school band, I have been quite impressed with them.
Work continues to be work. Although they've recently let someone from my shift and my building go so that has given me an opportunity for more responsibility. BUT since the letting go of said person I have been looking for a different job. The politics in this job are a bit more than I can take. The supervisors play favorites with no real criteria and even thought I seem to fit the bill, I don't like the game. That and I am really struggling with the schedule. So, wish me luck on finding a real 9-5.
I have pictures posted on facebook from the last month or so, and I will post some here soon.
Happy Easter to all!
