As of this moment I am finally wireless! It took over an hour with the rep on the phone line to get it working but now my home computer, my school laptop computer, and soon the printer are online. I am in heaven; this also saves me from buying a brand new computer until my tax money arrives. I am also looking into some office rearranging since I am not tied to my desk anymore.

School is going well. We are having many IEP meetings to start talking about transistions for students moving from elementary to middle and middle to high school settings. Each move is scary for the parents as well as the students to this is the time to give all a chance to see the new school and classroom as well as give everyone the chance to meet the teachers of the programs. I have a student that is blind and autistic moving to middle school next year and the meeting is Friday. It will be quite the way to end the week before spring break next week.

Sis is visiting this weekend. The boys can't wait until the cousins arrive. They all get along pretty well and really enjoy the sleepovers. I hope we can do something creative. I am itching to get my hands are art of some kind. Maybe clay or even drawing. I'm not sure but I know I want to create something visual.

Cub Scout night tonight - it was Pack night. The room was way too hot so it was frustrating. We learned how to adjust the temperature after the meeting so it never happens again. There were many Tiger badges handed out today and that worries me. We usually try to have the den leaders postpone these until June so that the boys have a reason to continue coming to meetings. Many boys and parents drop out once that badge is awarded even though there are many other patches, belt loops, and pins that can be earned.

I am signing both boys up for Cub Scout camp this summer. It is a day camp for the week and I will volunteer this year. If I like it I will probably go to training to run our own camp in our own county (this one is south of us). The current summer camp leader announced this was going to be his last summer and the council has offered to send Jenny and I to training if we would hold a summer camp for our district. Sounds like lots of work but also lots of reward. I will keep you all posted as the summer gets going.

Well, I'm off to bed. Look forward to reading all the posts from all those from EFX and those that I am learning from VOX. Good night!
