Turkey Taco Tuesday

Wind.  Wind sucks when you are a teacher.  Laugh if you must but wind makes every child's behavior go crazy.  Even my well-behaved students were off their rocker today.  I was off my rocker today lol 
We are due to have a snow storm come in today.  First, local weatherman said last night so I had my alarm go off extra early.  No snow.  Never listen to a local weatherman.  Instead, I rely on weather.com.  This morning, snow was expected at 3pm and 4-8 inches.  Checked again at 3 since I didn't see any snow and not expected until midnight, 3-6 inches.  Looked again after dinner tonight and not until 1am, 3-6 inches.  OK really...make up your minds.  I'm crossing my fingers for a 2 hour school delay = D
 I DO care about my pretty much one shot at a vacation by myself.  I have never been without my daughter for longer than 24 hours.  I know I will miss her like crazy but at the same time I'm curious to see if I'm truly missing out on anything by being a parent 24/7.  Has that worn off by now or do I still crave something I'm missing?
Thoughts wander through my head about "what ifs".  What if....I had decided to have an abortion?  What if......I gave her up for adoption?  What if....I had her then gave her up for adoption later?  What if.....I became irresponsible and gave her up?  The last thought I can't get through the 5th word before a shudder goes down my back.  I could NEVER do that.  But, what if.....what if things weren't like this?  I wonder though I'll never know the answers.  I don't want to be in a situation where I know the answers.
So happy that I am not living paycheck to paycheck.  Yesterday I went SHOPPING.  Shopping where I didn't have to worry about a spending limit.  It was nice.  I got things that I have needed for at least a year.  I'm also on a math curriculum committee which I get paid curriculum rate for this work I am to be doing.  It will be a minimum of 10 hours.  Curriculum rate in Arizona was a measly $22 ....lol laughable now.  Curriculum rate here is $36 an hour!  Yep, I got it made as a teacher up here.

Lesson learned: DO NOT EVER TEACH IN ARIZONA
