So This One Definitely Has Me Pegged...




You Are a Realist



You don't see the glass as half empty or half full. You see what's exactly in the glass.

You never try to make a bad situation seem better than it is...

But you also never sabotage any good things you have going on.

You are brutally honest in your assessments of situations - and this always seems to help you cope.

Our Visit to Trampoline, PA...

Little Bear, hopping around
That's really what the trip was all about! Our girls pretty much lived in that trampoline, as you can see from the pictures. We did enjoy our visit, and look forward to seeing Nana and PapPap in October in Raleigh!

Last day here at the Downtown office. On Thursday I will officially begin my Director of Technology and Media position. Looking forward to that, seeing the focus of technology they have and the support given to technology and media programs from the system, school board, and community.

Annual Summer Pilgrimmage to PA...

Must be August, as we'll be heading up to Pennsylvania tomorrow. While not looking forward to that 7 hour car ride with a 3 1/2 year old who gets carsick in the summer and an 18 mos. old who screams upon entering the car these days, I know the girls will have fun with their Nana and PapPap, plus Aunt Jenny and Cole. Should be a fun time, but then we'll have the carride back on Sunday...

Getting ready to take my new position as Director of Technology and Media. I will begin next Thursday and have two days with the existing director before her retirement, then will be on my own! I am excited, as I feel well qualified and can bring some great ideas into a technology-supported district. We shall see!

Smashing Pumpkins in Raleigh

So two nights ago I saw the Pumpkins yet again Downtown at the Memorial Auditorium. Pretty neat venue for a rock concert, and rock is just what they did. Yes, some may complain that this is still Billy's band, but it always was, just with folks interchanged.
--
They played a nice variety of music and faves (first time I heard Mayo LIVE!). Tonight, Tonight and Today were good. They had this acoustic-ish session, and then for the encore, the kazooing for 'We Only Come Out at Night' and 'In the Summertime.' So cool! more info later...

August Makes You Want to Growlll!


Can you believe we are midway through the month? This month represents so much change, which would be why I am exhausted! Kerry's folks' house will by completed this week. That in itself would be a lot of change, having family within 20 minutes, but coupled with my job switch, to become Director of Technology and Media in that county will be sure to add more fuel to an already busy time. Yes, I did accept the position--what a great move for me. I will become the youngest technology director in my state, which impresses me. That will also align me for great future prospects moving forward.

The girls are doing well. In fact, we are sitting here together now watching Sesame Street! Kerry is out for a long run, still training for November's marathon, so I earn some special time with my girls!
