Year's beginning and now it is Marching on to a new life, counting down the days.

Well we were off today because of another sleet storm on Sunday. I did my taxes after doing my friend's taxes over the phone from NY to TX on Sunday. Too much information and yet not of any importance. January went by and it was wonderful. I got my baby married to the man she loves and they are happy. She tried to make me lose it when we had the Daddy daughter dance she chose Butterfly Kisses. My friend from NY came down and had a hard time getting there because of that sleet and his flight turned around and stranded him in Houston. He caught a ride with a couple of ladies so he made it down a few hours late but still a day before the wedding. We made it through all the fun and he and my ex hit it off well. Now she wants to plan a vacation with just the three of us. I told them both they were too much alike and I could not handle that they would drive me crazy. Of course he and I smoked and drank like crazy as we always do when we get together. Then February came and went with only one exciting thing. I joined the 60's club on my birthday and I also had to let them know, if I was going to get paid for my local days, by March 1 so I did it on my birthday. This was my gift to me. Come to find out I only had 8 days of local days so it wasn't worth it. I have like 95 state days that I will lose if I don't take them. I am too responsible to take them. I will finish the job I set out to do, then walk away a better person! No one will get in my way! I know the way, the truth and the life! RESPECT YOURSELF ENOUGH TO WALK AWAY FROM ANYONE OR ANYTHING THAT NO LONGER SERVES YOU, GROWS YOU, OR MAKES YOU HAPPY. This was something I found and posted on my facebook today. I just read the weekly newsletter that tells us to win the kids over but not by intemidation or threats. Baby them some more. They already run the school and no one does anything. That tells me that 26 years in Dallas and 34 total years is enough and now I retire and if I choose look for a new career. I am looking forward to retirement.
