It is Fur Rondy time up here in Alaska, with the Ceremonial Start of the Iditarod yesterday. We usually drive into Anchorage and attend the festivities, but a headache kept me home.
With the Iditarod, our school does Idita-read where students track minutes read and every minute equals a mile on the Iditarod trail. I am on that committee and spend several hours every Friday "moving dogs".
Today we are working on chores around the house, as well as me getting things done for school. I am hoping I will be able to squeeze some reading and knitting in (need to set a good example for my students so we can all get our dogs to Nome!).
Knitting? You Ask.
WIP are:
I am attempting to knit 12 pairs of socks in 2014
Working heel flap, I should have no problem finishing these in a day or two or ten
Lost interest, need to finish sleeves-I am fearful it will GROW when I block it.
Fearful it won't turn out as great as I thought it would be! :-(
Will this EVER get done? I am not a lace knitter.....
I have managed to complete one pair so far
They have since been completed, ends weaved in and worn at least once.
Maybe over Spring Break next week, I will get my FO page for 2013 up dated, and start my 2014 FO page.

I'm glad things have gotten better at school. I know not all states have unions, but I am union rep in our building and we are really good at maintaining duty free lunch and prep time (210 minutes a week) This summer we will be renegotiating the contract. Your projects look good...good luck on the socks..I could not make them fast enough.
The problem is that I've been non-tenured.
Our district does not have to give a reason not to "rehire" a non-tenured teacher.
This is my 4th year with the district, but my first was 1/2 time, so I figured I had this year before I could put my union foot down.
Found out recently that I AM tenured (yay), and better than that, I signed my contract for 2014/15.
So, I felt comfortable ranting about breach of contract"
