Happy New Year!

This year isn't starting out great because I feel like I'm still in a holding pattern on a number of things. The waiting for a resolution/answer is driving me nuts and I'm feeling like it's not fair. I know I'm whining but I do wonder why I am going through this.

And today my stupid phone phobia was rearing its ugly head but thankfully I was spared having to make the call myself. I don't know why I am like that but I think my Dad was a bit too so I guess it is inherited from him. My mother on the other hand loved being on the phone and so does IG although for her it is text-messaging and Twitter.

Speaking of IG - she is doing really well. Mostly enjoying school - on the swim team, in the Arts Club, and also a civic group. Swim team is keeping her very busy and will for the next 6 weeks or so - depending on how far the team goes. But they are good - and last year placed 3rd in the county and it looks like they're doing as well this year too. IG has placed in a couple of meets - no 1st place yet but she just got over a really nasty sinus infection. And she is doing well in school - even in Math and Chemistry which does give her fits sometimes. She did just barely make Honor Roll last quarter which was her fault since she didn't turn in an English project which cost her a letter grade. She didn't make that mistake again this quarter so I expect she'll have a really good GPA - plus some of her other grades went up too.

Finances - let's just say they suck still. I can't pay off anything because we're still waiting for the check for the classes DH taught. His last class got a poor evaluation so I'm not sure he'll be asked back. But he is VERY busy until at least May/June with a lot of theater work so I'm not that concerned about it. But we won't see any money again until at least a month from now so it will be tough going once again. Argh.
