after an incredibly long time....i'm back.

i've been working through some things and i'm feeling a lot better about myself and my life. i've actually had some pretty good days lately. imagine that! s and i have had some good conversations. we were both able to share how we were feeling about things. it's still not perfect, but i think we are on the road to recovery. (keep your fingers crossed for me!) the stepdaugther is doing loads better as well. things have been rough the last couple days, but overall she has been great! the weather is crap. i really do believe i have seasonal affective disorder. SAD. really. it is mid-april and still snowing. blah.

i have been working almost every day. i subbed in high school today. i did not like it at all. i don't think i'll be working at the high school level again for awhile. it was not fun. they are not nice. i am nice. the two did not work well. i just need to teach little children. i love that! not teenagers. nope. i live with one, i think that is enough.

went shopping yesterday. that was nice. i got clothes and new books. and a new hat. and a new purse.

i've been reading some good stuff lately. i just finished a book today for young adults. it's called 'a mango-shaped space'. it was quite good. it is about a girl with synesthesia. i'm about to start 'the memory keeper's daugther'. i'm looking forward to reading that one. i also ordered several books on rwanda and i'm just waiting for those to come in the mail. i love half.com.

i feel completely saddened for the families of the students at virginia tech. i cannot even imagine the nightmare they must all be living right now. i hope they get answers to all of the questions they must have.

go and hug your loved ones.
