No way to cover it all...

So, just a tiny, brief little post... Had our second child two weeks ago today. Just trying to get the hang of things. Brendan is almost 20 months old (tomorrow), and he's definitely entered the Terrible Twos. It's pretty frustrating. He kicks the dog, drops to the floor to avoid being picked up if he doesn't want it, smacks his little brother on the head, and throws tantrums. Annoying. I just hope it wears off quickly. I do have a full time job again for the fall. This time, it's my own position, instead of a long-term sub job. Unfortunately, it isn't entirely English--only one teacher retired at the end of the year, and another teacher who had been at the school for a while had designs on that position, so I'm moving into the position she had. It'll be mostly a study hall type class, for kids who are academically...distressed. Plus at least one class for kids who are also emotionally troubled. Hopefully I'll have an English class as well; that was the plan of my department head. Keep your fingers crossed. Well, that's really all I have time for. The baby is starting to fuss, which means it's almost time for him to eat again. And I need to get the dishes out of the dishwasher and the laundry folded before big brother comes home from the sitter's house. Balancing all this is not nearly as easy as it could be...
