Aloha..and other things

Gearing up for winter around here. It's been cold for cali and I miss the warmth so we are going to head off to hawaii for some sun and fun. I am very much looking forward to vacation but until then I need to get some crap done around my "hoarders style" house. Well that's how I feel anyways. I'm starting to amass quite the collection of plastic, paper etc. Things that need to be recycled, thrown out, cleaned up in general. We've just been going going going for so long that sometimes I just want to chill out and relax and not do those basic housekeeping tasks. BUT this weekend is it! I need to get some crap done. ( I needed to restate for my own help LOL).

Tay has completed her try-outs and for the first year of trying out for different clubs I was both frustrated and pleased with the process. I had several people tell me that I need to be patient and wait for the phone calls but I was so used to them calling that night. It was very frustrating. I know now that when it's time to find out about high schools, I'll be a big stress ball too. Tay has picked a team that I know she will grow on and luckily 2 of her teammates from last year are also on the team. She is very happy about that. Now I just have to figure out how to pay for VB, property taxes and still have money for vacation. I sure hope that money tree in the back yard is fruitful this year.

School is going. Conferences just happened and I was pleased with the outcomes. We had a conference with one teacher that was hard, but hopefully will help both of them (teacher and student) work together better. Although, I was already let down by the teacher this week. Sometimes I don't understand who is the adult and who is the teen?

I will post some pics from our hawaiian getaway when we return. Aulani looks amazing. I can't wait to check it out in person.
