AnxiousFirst the good news
Little Aiden is doing fine. His appetite is picking up and he sometimes lets me sleep at night, in about 2 hour blocks. Still from the stories I hear, that is good. We had a shower today and it went over really well. We got a lot of gifts and got to see a lot of the family. Pretty soon we will have to plan a baptism.
Now the bad news. Work has been grueling on my stress levels at a time that I find … well not well timed.
Right before my baby was born some questionable materials were identified among my pottery items. To make a long story short they were confiscated and *fast forward* I got in trouble when I got back. Nothing big really, just a sort of do not let this thing happen again sort of deal. But I wrote a rebuttal, as a sort of explanation. This explanation I admit was spurred by stress and crafted during lack of sleep. I ended up getting a letter back about it saying it was wrong and well… I ended up seeking legal advice. However, steam is fading away and rationality is returning.
However this frame of mind would of never happened if a student of mine hadn’t pulled the mooning gag right when my building manager was “ peeping” through my window. I got told several nasty things about my ability to handle a class and was set up for a nervous break down.
Then again a person involved in this whole matter has a tendency to make people feel this way by overacting to things. Talk of charges were involved… if you get what I am saying.
Again this all happening when I am getting less sleep then normal. I am thinking now that things are settling in place that perhaps everything is returning to a normal scale after being blow way out of proportion. Well, hopefully. I don’t now yet, but the whole matter has placed me on my toes and spurred me to be a bit more aggressive on certain matters then before
Positive note (so that you can forget about what you read !!) My new class is going great and helping keep my spirits high. (that and the baby)

Things have been busy. My baby boy Aiden has been doing well, though he is still a wee hard on my own sleep patterns (don't get me wrong, he is really good for a baby but still).
School has been a zoo. I just finished inventorying my room today. It took about a day and a half to get it sorted out (even after I had unwilling students help me with it before hand). Got a review at work, it was okay but not great.
I qualified for a salary increase this year with the classes I took.
Currently I am hoping to get back to making something to post here! Its been a while, I've just been really really busy.
