Tsarina returns

This will be brief, and hopefully some of you still come by. So much has happened in such a short few months.

Lots of stress at work (not new). James and his brothers have become very dear to me- to the point that when their grandma passes away, they may come live with me. She's thankfully gotten stronger, though, so hopefully that won't be for a very long time. Their dad and I have begun a slight flirtation... we'll see.

I did meet a guy recently- very cute and lots of fun...again, we'll see.

The job still takes up most of my energy- but I don't regret any of it. We may be going on strike on Wed... pray for a settlement before Tues. They'll be forced to close the schools if it happens. My kids have finally grown on me to the point that I miss them when I'm not there. It took longer for this group to get there, but they had a hard act to follow.

I'll write more later- I'm meeting friends, but I wanted to check in and say hi to all of you- i'll visit you soon!

Have a great weekend!
