A lot has happened in the 2 years since I last posted. The biggest is that my app on the iPad stopped working and has not been updated, so I have struggled with it. I have had so many different thoughts recently, I just do not know where to begin.
This past summer my team that I coach to speak and walk and talk, and all the parliamentary procedures of what we do, actually won our national contest. Now This year in order to field a team to defend our title, I have become a competitor as well as the coach.
This past Saturday we held our major fundraiser. This is the first in a couple of years, since everyone was upset about how the last deal turned out. It seems to have went well. I don't have a final figure yet, but it was attended better than I thought it would be.
I know have worked for 5 different Superintendents ( 4 people total) since I started working here 6 years ago. The board hired the original guy, who hired me, back from retirement when they fired the last Super. He was here till the new guy was hired and took over, so I count him twice. Also this year is the end of Digital Media here, or as I like to refer to it, "Defense Against The Dark Arts" ( all you Harry Potter fans know what I'm talking about.) There have been 5 teachers teach that class in the 6 years I have been here as well.
We lost my Mother-In-Law Sept 10th, 2018 from complications of COPD. This has been a very bad deal so far, and I have an idea what it will be like when I loose my own folks, but I am hopeful that will be a long way off yet. I went to them and just asked that they put everything where we can find it. They went way beyond that and drew up new wills, made all final arrangements and covered everything. I am still dreading that day and do not ever look forward to it.
Now that I have managed to find a way back in to post again, I will try to not be so long between. Now if I can just fix the darn app on the iPad....
