Other stuff from last week...and stuff from this week

I mentioned in my last post that last week was a crazy week, and boy, was it ever.

In addition to the shower, another highlight of my week was that we bought a new car. We had reached a point where we could either spend money to do "upkeep" repairs on the Pilot, or we could get something new. While I like my Pilot well enough, I wasn't crazy about it and didn't really want to drive it for a few more years. I ended up getting a CR-V, and I love it. I had a CR-V before the Pilot, and I really liked it better. The Pilot was just too much car for me, and the CR-V is actually just the right size. There's enough room for a car seat (or two--should Coretta have a sibling one day), and the pack-and-play fits in the back. I'll have to post a picture of the car soon.

We also had midterms last week. This is something new we are required to do. We had a "work day" Friday, and it would have been really nice if we could have used our work day to, you know, work. I still have midterms to grade, and my goal is to finish them tonight. Woo hoo.

I'm in a tiny bit of a funk--not a major one (no tears!), but a minor one. I have a lot of stuff to do in the next four weeks in order to leave stuff for a sub, but I don't want to do any of it. And that's another frustration...apparently a sub hasn't been "secured" for me yet. This makes me a bit nervous. I'm not sure what the competency level is going to be of the person who will be in charge of my classes. I know that I have more important things to be concerned about, but this "what's going to happen while I'm out" issue is a constant nagging issue in the back of my mind.

Oh, well...this situation isn't going to get any better if I don't do something, so I better get to grading those midterms. :)
