Yeah, like I kept that promise to post often during our transition to our new state. Well, there's stuff to write about and I intend to do that once in a while. Reading back through these posting made me realize how little I really recall of past events. And now I have so many reasons to remember. So without further ado, here are the ten most important things that have happened since I posted 2 1/2 years ago...<br />
<br />
10. Mike is finally considering surgery for his knees. They're bothering him more and more and the truth is, he really can't walk far any longer. He'll tell you he can, then sit down every chance he gets. So...<br />

9. We are able to live comfortably on the money we get each month. That was a concern going into retirement. But we appear to be doing ok. Woot!<br />

8. Surprisingly, we miss nearly nothing from our previous life in Utah. Only having the whole family so close together, and that was about to end anyway.<br />

7. Lucas is doing amazingly well at Yale. Yes, that Yale. Though I doubt there's a person in my extended acquaintance that doesn't know he's going there. I can't seem to stop saying it - Yes, my son is working on a doctorate in computer science at Yale... (can you really blame me?)<br />

6. Sean and Chris are married, happy, and contemplating a family. What a relief that they found each other and are doing so well.<br />

5. Kimmi has a job, a real, important, useful job. She's working for a professor in green biochemistry at Yale.<br />

4. Our new neighborhood is a hotbed of senior partying. We have both made good friends here and have all the social life we could want. LOVE our neighbors.<br />

3. I'm working on Marianne and it looks as if she might possibly move up here when she retires. It also looks as if she actually will retire someday. Maybe this next summer?<br />

2. Anna and Taylor have moved to Beaverton which is exactly 1 hour 6 minutes from our house. They stayed a few months with us while they found a house, and now they're all settled in their new place and loving it.<br />

1. And this happened - I'm a granny! This little bug was born December 17, 2017. He's the apple of everyone's eye right now and you can see why. He's amazing.<br />

Well, life got busy after Mom passed away. So I finally got back to my
blog today because I'm again doing NaNoWriMo. Writing a 50,000 word novel
in a month seems do-able this year. Why? Because I retired in August.
Yup. Done and done. And it feels GOOD.<br />

Here we are at my retirement dinner. It was a fun evening except for
the fact that we were sitting at a table with a woman who believed I was one of
the reasons she was forced into retirement against her will. Of course, I
wasn't responsible for it, so the evening had some tense moments.<br />

What are we doing now? Waiting for our new house to be built up in
Oregon! Yup. We bought a lot and the house should be started in a
few weeks. It's a lovely one level ranch with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a
sunroom. We're furiously packing up while also juggling the paperwork for
the purchase and the sale of our existing home. Fun. No really, it
is. Here's a look at the outside of the house, though it will be a
different color. I love the covered front porch. There'll be a
covered porch in the back as well for Mike's fabulous barbecues.

Well, now that I'm back to writing, I'll try to keep this up, as I want a
record of these first few months of retirement and of the progress we make on
the house.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Norma Ruth
Johnson Haynes entered the world in Council Bluffs, Iowa on November 6, 1924.
Her parents, Dennis and Helen Johnson, were pleased and relieved to have a
girl. Her brothers, Denny and Bob, treated her like all brothers do, but she
loved them anyway. The family moved to Salt Lake City in 1935. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Norma married Jim Haynes and spent her
life caring for Jim, three kids, several pets, a garden, and finally,
grandchildren. She was an amazing seamstress who made nearly all the clothes
her children wore, even after they became teens and begged her not to. She
worked as a teller and for the University of Utah’s Business department. Always
happy and positive, she loved telling stories. Many of these were so
inspirational that she told them over and over so that they would never be
forgotten. Indeed, her family can repeat her stories verbatim and has numbered
them for easy reference. She enjoyed traveling with her family and was able to
visit Europe, the Caribbean, and Australia, as well as many states. Her favorite
place was Hawaii. She could work a hard crossword puzzle in less than an hour
and beat the pants off of anyone in a game of cards. In later years she
insisted that twos were wild in every game she played, which allowed her to win
even more. Even so, she couldn’t seem to beat her grandson at Monopoly as he
would place hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place before she could say, “Go
directly to Jail.” </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Norma
baked sinfully good cakes, cookies, and treats with her grandkids. Her
specialty was “The Cake,” a red devil’s food cake that won first place at the
Utah State Fair two years in a row. And she had the ribbons to prove it. </span></div>

life is celebrated by her two daughters and their husbands, Marianne & Rick

relatives and friends. After 89 years, Norma died the way she wanted to -
peacefully in her sleep after a short illness. She will be greatly missed. </span></div>

My little Sony laptop has been a wonderful computer, but with its solid state drive it didn't have much memory and it was mostly used up with the stupid Windows operating system. So now I have the new and improved Sony with a slightly larger viewing screen (for age-challenged eyes). And it's pink. Not the candy pink in the picture above, either, but a very nice, subtle blush pink. Yeah, I didn't buy it because it came in pink. It was cheaper than the silver one. Don't give me that look. It really was.<br />
<br />
And it still runs Windows. Can't seem to get away from that. I had the little Sony running Linux with pretty good success until I had to start moving files from home to work and back. I just couldn't make it work for a number of things. So here I am back on Windows - 8 this time around. It's a bit confusing and a bit awkward learning a new computer, but gotta do it. I'm teaching CORE Academy this summer and I need a computer that will run Microsoft Office. *sigh* At least it's pink...<br />

I can't believe my last post was way back in December. It's definitely time for an update. So here it is. For my three loyal readers, wherever you are...<br />
Mom's having a great deal of trouble remembering to take her meds. When she first moved into her apartment she was used to taking meds twice a day and was very regular in doing so. But lately we've kept a closer watch and find that she's skipping doses, and even scarier, doubling up occasionally. I took over filling the compartments so she couldn't tell me she'd taken them all when, in fact, she just hadn't refilled the thing. When that didn't help, I started calling her morning and evening to remind her. She bristled at that. But now she's on a blood thinner, and it's important she take it properly. Soooooo we bought her a new toy. The dispenser we bought has an opaque cover and a LOCK. I only have to fill it every two weeks. When the time is up, an annoying alarm sounds and the box rotates the next set of meds into place. All she has to do is dump them out into her hand and the box resets itself to go off the next time. So far it is working 100%. She doesn't hate it nearly as much as she hated me calling her. After checking up on her a couple of times I felt like doing a little jig around the kitchen "It's working..It's working..." At least for now she can stay independent.<br />

Santa made his yearly appearance at our house. From there he flew (in his blue Prius) to a friend's house where he entertained three little girls. Mrs. Claus, of course, went with him. I'm beginning to wonder when these kiddos will stop believing. I thought they had us figured out this year, but when we mentioned their "Elf on the Shelf" by name there was a gasp and wide eyed excitement. I explained that Santa keeps track of them through text messages sent by the elf and that she will be heading back up north soon as Utah in summer is just too hot for her. Another year down, but I can't imagine that ten-year-olds will still be that gullible.

I attribute that to years of on-the-job exposure. However, this year I've had all three. In a row. Within two months. I. Hate. It.<br />

Well, now I've had them all it should be time for health, wealth, and power, right?<br />

My sister and I are tag-team tending to my mom as she goes through the stages of Alzheimer’s. Sometimes it can be incredibly frustrating to spend time with her. The "looping" stories - how many times can you hear about how she first saw the mountains?, the forgotten appointments - really? I just told you we were going to the dentist, the financial issues - yes, Mom, you do have money. I just put forty dollars in your wallet. I promise myself I'll be positive, I really do. But often, in the face of the repeated stories and jobs made more difficult because of her "help," I'm challenged to keep that promise. Yeah, sometimes I'm not my best self. I have to remember that:</div>
<ul>
<li>Despite the fact that many Alzheimer's patients become cranky and even combative, Mom has stayed remarkably pleasant and kind.</li>
<li>She has been able to make some good friends at the assisted living center where she now lives. She's even learned their names.</li>
<li> There is still plenty of money in her accounts to care for her for several years to come. What a blessing that her finances allow for good care.</li>
<li>The repeated stories are worse when we're alone. Around new people and new situations she's less likely to "loop."</li>
<li>She's agreeable. I spent much of the summer taking her to various dentist and doctor appointments to get her caught up. She would happily go along with me even though she had no idea where we were going or for what.</li>
<li>And, like Dorie, she might have extreme short-term memory problems, but she's also extremely optimistic. She tells everyone that she's doing just fine. And her memory is great!</li>
</ul>
So I'll reinvest in some patience and try to enjoy what I have left of the mom I knew. I guess I need Dorie's advice - Just keep swimming...Welfymomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10680096426501264856noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853302223490838393.post-27242058040223604192012-09-16T15:23:00.000-07:002012-09-16T15:23:12.300-07:00TLAPD<img alt="http://talklikeapirate.com/partykit/tlapdbanner2.gif" height="96" src="http://talklikeapirate.com/partykit/tlapdbanner2.gif" width="400" /><br />

That includes summers and weekends. Work days until the big EXIT? About 555. That doesn't sound so bad when I write it down. But I'm guessing the actual doing will be a bit more challenging.<br />

The kids this year are mostly adorable and I continue to enjoy teaching science, but Mike and I are both looking forward to moving somewhere new and exciting. Something a little like this:<br />

There's something a little energizing about mid-August when every store you go to has a section devoted to "Back to School." As a kid, I was lucky to have a mother who sewed. She made nearly everything I wore. But each August we'd troop down to JC Penneys or Sears and spend a hot (no air conditioning in stores those days) afternoon trying on store-bought dresses. I remember getting one, my sister would get two. That's because they were on sale three for ten dollars and she was the older. So I'd be growing into the ones she picked by next fall. I don't even remember being jealous at only getting the one, just eager for her to clear out her side of the closet so I could have last year's picks.<br />

Yesterday Kimmi and I went bra shopping - a necessary pursuit, but not nearly as enjoyable as sale dresses at Sears. I did manage to pick up a cute pair of Skechers, though. I guess this means school really will start next week whether I want it to or not. So today I'm making cookies, emailing friends, and relaxing on the couch - things I don't have so much time for when I'm working.

I was at a workshop today which shall remain nameless... There I realized that:<br />
1. I have been teaching a very long time.<br />
2. I have tried nearly all the fun things at least once.<br />
3. There are a boatload of younger teachers out there who haven't tried all the fun things yet.<br />
4. Because of where we live some people run workshops like ... um ... less secular meetings.<br />
5. I have very little patience watching other people's not very talented children sing and dance during a workshop, especially when it goes on for over 30 minutes.<br />
6. I am kind of critical in general and maybe should stop going to workshops.<br />
<br />
But I did bring home some very nice rock samples.Welfymomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10680096426501264856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853302223490838393.post-78146883548266677942012-06-01T19:54:00.003-07:002012-06-01T19:54:57.383-07:00Head 'em Up, Move 'em OutTwo hundred and eighty grades calculated. Thirteen teachers contacted. Hundreds of final papers graded and handed back (well mostly). 12 dozen pencils chewed up and spit out by grades K through 5. And while the top of my desk is still dripping with unfinished projects and slimy science projects that need to be rinsed down the drain, school is nearly over. What a relief! See you next year, fourth graders. (Glad you're on your way to middle school, fifth graders.) Honey, I'm pretty sure that after Wednesday I won't be coming home late for a few weeks.Welfymomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10680096426501264856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853302223490838393.post-20409601275594384262012-03-28T20:08:00.000-07:002012-03-28T20:08:26.876-07:00I cannot believe it's nearly AprilAnd I haven't made a post since December of LAST YEAR!!! What was I thinking?<br />
1. That I would be completely consumed by my two (or four) jobs.<br />
2. That no one seems to stop by this blog except my kind and long suffering cousins.<br />
3. That even though I like to use this as a way to recall our family history, maybe there are some things I just don't really want to recall.<br />
<br />
How about all the above?<br />
The regular teaching job has been incredibly difficult this year. Thank goodness I have a great new partner. Together we have two jobs. One is to plan the curriculum and the other is to teach it. Add in the requirement that we purchase all the stuff we need and get it to school somehow, and that's about 2 1/2 jobs for the cost to the district of one.<br />
<br />
The job at the college reminds me so much of when I taught classes for the museum. I have to plan everything, gather the stuff, take it up there, use it, repack it, bring it back and put it away. The difference is I also have to read term papers and reflections and stay one step ahead of my students in the textbook. Again, two jobs for the cost of one.<br />
<br />
The college course is over on April 25th. After that I only have to make it through June 7th and I get a whole six weeks off before I get to go back for meetings and "professional development" because, as we all know, I don't know what I'm doing.<br />

Retirement waves at me from the bed each morning as I leave a sleeping husband at 6:00 and head off to work. I wish it would grab hold and haul me back to bed!Welfymomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10680096426501264856noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853302223490838393.post-9309920507441543792011-12-10T19:07:00.000-08:002011-12-10T19:07:35.368-08:00You can just call me "Professor Mom"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRN67achQ3Rw7HvnQv-kWyQ43Iu6IT22Ym_4894XTKUsbhkULB0DXKl0OeP2y2WMv_bs4vIco2EHbqpu05lqFovsdUGEiM0vnf8tOhD0G__F8VqUvzpo2wZHalcNuQ65XuY_8k7CtZj65O/s1600/logo.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRN67achQ3Rw7HvnQv-kWyQ43Iu6IT22Ym_4894XTKUsbhkULB0DXKl0OeP2y2WMv_bs4vIco2EHbqpu05lqFovsdUGEiM0vnf8tOhD0G__F8VqUvzpo2wZHalcNuQ65XuY_8k7CtZj65O/s1600/logo.gif" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've been taking a professional development class in fourth grade science from the district this semester. I had to be pretty much coerced into taking it. I didn't want to take one more class - ever. It is being taught by a district teacher about half my age and a retired professor of education from Westminster College. I ended up liking both the class and the women teaching it. The former professor has also been to my classroom to observe a methods student who taught a couple of lessons to my second grade group. I ended up sitting with the two of them giving some feedback and helping the young lady see that her lesson hadn't been a total failure like she thought.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That evening the professor called me out in the hall. I, of course, thought I had done something wrong...me and my big mouth...but no. She asked me if I had ever thought about teaching at the college level and did I want to consider teaching the science methods course at Westminster? I was surprised and flattered. She told me the college had hired someone to replace her and was dissatisfied with them. She said she was going to talk to the dean. I thought, "Yeah, sure."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The very next day she emailed me and put me in touch with Westminster. Long story sort of short - I'll be teaching science methods for pre-service teachers next semester. It's considered an adjunct instructor position, but I can't get the family to stop calling me Professor Mom.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It fell in my lap, but it's something I've been thinking about for quite some time. Part-time work at a community college or university would be a great thing to do in another city, but most places won't hire you unless you have experience. And here experience came, knocking at my door. I am a bit intimidated by the caliber of the other instructors for the methods classes. I know one personally and have met with another. The level of discourse is incredibly high and I am hoping I have the ability to give my students the quality experience Westminster expects. Fortunately, a colleague is teaching the graduate level of the same course and has offered to share his materials and syllibus with me. He even asked if I would like him to come to the first session and help me get started. YES - of course. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Only time will tell if I have bitten off more than I can chew. I hope not. P.S. I kind of like being called Professor Mom.</div>Welfymomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10680096426501264856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853302223490838393.post-41715500829848095632011-11-19T19:04:00.000-08:002011-11-19T19:04:48.775-08:00Moving On<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0qH2WFlIKk95ehnF0gC8tNfrEE-oOwqAQYxLH3UuG_dFRsbJFGXsB0O8I8v7u0pDo5xTWQcwGEsL4z7Nll-PbaA9xVwjZdhV8S50AeTtPnlaVh-WZA6ZVUvEJMON7r9yluBqKge933oyh/s1600/American-Tourister-29--Upright-151535.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0qH2WFlIKk95ehnF0gC8tNfrEE-oOwqAQYxLH3UuG_dFRsbJFGXsB0O8I8v7u0pDo5xTWQcwGEsL4z7Nll-PbaA9xVwjZdhV8S50AeTtPnlaVh-WZA6ZVUvEJMON7r9yluBqKge933oyh/s400/American-Tourister-29--Upright-151535.jpg" width="292" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We rented a truck this morning and loaded Sean's worldly goods into it. He moved out of the home he bought with his partner and into a friend's spare bedroom. Something went wrong between the two of them and while I don't know exactly what, I think things haven't been good for a while now. They appeared to part friends and we are maintaining a caring if strained relationship with his ex. Sean is disheartened. As his relationship is ending for a reason (or two or three - I haven't asked) he's feeling like a failure. His partner was the first person he was in love with. And though he acknowledges this is for the best in the long run, in the short run it just sucks. His new room mate is a nice guy and it should be a good place for Sean to regroup. Still, I wish my baby didn't have to go through this pain. (Isn't that what mothers always wish for their children?) <br />

Trouble is, I have become accustomed to seeing something I like and just buying it. I guess I can come up with a few items I haven't immediately thrown money at, like this:<br />
<br />
A <a href="http://www.greenfeet.com/Natural-Cotton-Shower-Curtain-Made-in-USA-p/2002-01632-0000.htm">shower curtain</a> to go behind my shower curtain. Really.<br />
This<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-Portable-iPod-Clock-Purple/dp/B004NBY47C/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1318799613&sr=1-10"> boombox </a>so I can listen to NPR at work. No, they won't let me stream it.<br />
To go along with the shower curtain this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Slip-X-Solutions-Large-Rubber-Safety/dp/B003TFXEGK/ref=sr_1_16?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1318802580&sr=1-16">bathmat</a> which isn't as awful as the one I now use. <br />
And finally, this <a href="http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/store/jump/productDetail/Sleepwear/Women&aposs_Sleepwear/Eileen_West/Eileen_West_Romantic_Floral_Vine_Gown/59654">splurge nightgown</a> size XL. I love Eileen West knit gowns. They are super comfortable and soft.<br />
Is that enough? Or maybe <a href="http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/store/jump/productDetail/Health_&_Beauty/Hair_Care/Shampoos_&_Conditioners/Country_Herbal_Shampoo/53408">this</a>. Or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Floral-Honeystix-Fireweed-Honey-Sticks/dp/B004CSFU56/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1318808733&sr=8-10">this</a>.

<br />

Yeah, they were teachers, so??? We kayaked around a place called Egg Island that is literally covered with seagulls. Who knew there were three different species of those annoying birds in Utah. We don't have a Sea! We do not need seagulls. I had a great time even considering I fell out of the kayak onto some rocks. Yes, I do know how lame that sounds. My arms are black and blue. It's been so warm in my classroom that keeping long sleeves on was difficult. Explaining the bruises was even more difficult. So I put the long sleeved shirt back on.<br />

There are two rooms across the hall from each other for the two new science teachers. I was expecting them to be essentially the same. But no. One looks like this:<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So what's a nice gal to do? I really, really want the larger room with the door out to the enclosed outdoor classroom and the lovely high ceilings and tons of storage. And I could just go into the principal and ask for it. I have seniority and more importantly, the principal is a friend of mine. So she would just give it to me. *sigh*</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, I guess I'll just wait until we meet and we can look at the rooms together. Maybe she'll be the nice gal and say, "Hey, you've got seniority. Why don't you take the larger room?"

</a></div> Recently my days as a teacher left me feeling a little - um - frazzled. There's plenty to blame for the way I feel. But if I'm honest I'd say a good deal of my frustration comes from the fact that I've been doing the same job for several years now and I'm too familiar with the things that should be fixed and can't be. I'm guessing everyone pretty much has those experiences in their life, too. You'd love to be able to do some task the efficient way, the way you know will work and will benefit you, or your company, but there's a reason you can't. Maybe the boss is dead set against it. Maybe it's not economically feasible. Maybe you just don't have the time. Anyway, I've become far too aware of the way I wish things were. For instance, at the beginning of the school year I wish I had time for two important activities - planning the first few days of instruction, both alone and with grade level teams, and setting up my classroom. When I do have to come in for my first contract day what do we do? We sit in meetings where the administration tries to "motivate" us. We go over test results that we already went over the spring before. We listen to the new rules someone at the district thought up for us to have to follow. We get maybe 1/2 day to work in our rooms. It's disheartening, and most of all, totally predictable. I know I could come in a week early and have that planning time. I wouldn't get paid for it, though. So I whine (usually just in my mind) about it.<br />
<br />
This year I've been given the opportunity to make a change. I was hired by my old principal, a person I greatly admire and work well with, to teach science all day long. I'll be working with students kindergarten through fifth grade on a rotation, seeing each class twice a week for about an hour. It's an extremely interesting idea and something our district hasn't tried before. I'll be working with another teacher who will be doing essentially the same job with the other half of the school. Together we have a chance to show the district what science specialists can accomplish in terms of raising test scores and contributing to excellent classroom climate.<br />
<br />
I don't make a habit of writing about my work here, partly because I want to be careful about what I post about colleagues and students. Also, my life is not all about work. But my life has been a lot about science for a long time now. When I'm not in school I'm reading newspaper articles about the latest scientific findings. (Sometimes I argue out loud with the paper as I read. Mike finds this hilarious.) I look through science catalogs and think about ordering things. I don't generally order them, though, because I don't really have a place to use them. UNTIL NOW! Ha!<br />
<br />
So now I'm feeling a little more like I can do a couple more years in the classroom. At least two and maybe three if things work out. It gives me a chance to try something I love. Besides, it'll be a while before I figure out what needs to be fixed that I can't do anything about. So I'm feeling a bit more like:<br />

We started at 4:00 pm and didn't finish until after 11. That's pretty late for the "old" folks. It was fun to see all the band guys that have retired through the years. I wish I could have recorded the stories they told. Makes me remember why I joined the band in the first place. Mike got invited to a couple of gigs, so his idea of never playing again got shot down completely. </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

He will be providing help to lab users, but also doing various tasks to keep the computers up and running. Just up his alley. I credit the fact that he knows, uses, and LOVES the Linux operating system for this opportunity. He tried to teach me, but since I am an old dog, I chose not to learn that new trick. He's so pleased with himself I just can't tell you. It's so fun to see him enjoying himself while earning money. That's something we kept telling him would happen when he got to the right job. But secretly, I wondered if he would ever be in the position to actually get the right job. Thank heaven for Linus Torvalds. I would kiss you if I could.
