In case you are wondering why we are not together, it is because Steve has to have some time for his illustrious blogging career.
So... run on over and vote for Steve now.
In order to protect the integrity of the voting, please read a post or two of his first so that it won't be like sending a bunch of pirates to autovote.
Much thanks.

Reflections at week 1
Cheers
--Chellese. Highlight of my week, I have not followed up to let you know how deeply I appreciate the facetime even if short.
--More square footage. MORE SQUARE FOOTAGE.
--Amenities like dishwasher, washer, dryer, and cable TV.
--Family. Living with my sis and bro-in-law has been really wonderful--like coming home or something.
--New people to get to know at church and at school.
--Hanging out with my kids all the time.
--Savers.
--Target.
--Seeing friends in all directions that we have known for a long time. I have a list to get through but it feels safe and secure knowing how many friends there are around.
--Snow. Beautiful.
--So many Mormons!
Jeers
--Cold. So cold that you just don't want to go places.
--Not knowing anyone on my daily pathway.
--Moving sans husband. Very. Sad. Idea.
--Dry hands. I have to lather on the lotion and it still isn't enough.
--Spending money on "start up" stuff like food basics
--Figuring out how to get new bank account and transfer over all those automatic payments, UGH.
--So many Mormons!
I miss Steve, love my kids, and have really enjoyed the family-friendly status of Utah. I could live here and like it. I just really need to get friends on my daily routine because I keep trying to make all casual encounters with the checkout people at grocery stores more meaningful. Someone please save me from myself.

Retraction
Okay not really a full retraction, but I have to say two things happened today:
1) K. Cook leaving a very wise comment about our old stomping ground and remembering back to the days that I was really upset at the kids school prior to going through major upheaval with them. And when I left, I cried for real. So the wisdom of perspective was useful, thanks chica!
2) I got a phone call from the school secretary #1 apologizing for this morning and explaining that it was hectic.
I think I overreacted because I am by myself with the kids and that is getting super old. I miss Steve for a million other reasons too.
The other reason I overreacted is because there are two full tracks at this school! I am a small school girl, not a fiddy bejillion kid school girl.
The up news? One of the kids is going to have Alpine School District teacher of the year!
Very exciting and thanks for being my friend and putting up with my rants. You were very helpful.
So, in the immortal words of my bff, "I am reserving judgement" for now.
