Back in the Swing of Things

I'm Back at School!

Things are crazy!

A new computer system at school has found all of my classes needing somewhere around 12 changes, on average. I've got kids who are missing a period, missing a core content class, kids who are not supposed to be in my classes. It is absolutely crazy! But, you do what you can. I refuse to hold back just because the front office can't work the new computer system.

Then there's the house. We've moved in with all of our stuff and are living in rubble. Mike and Gary are putting up drywall on the door to the garage, the rooms are textured but not painted. We've got boxes everywhere. Well, at least we've got the master bedroom put away. But, Kayla's room is filled with boxes that I can't put away because she has no closet. Our den is full of boxes that we can't put away until Mike's dad paints the room. We've got to pull up the old hardwood floors in the living room by next week but we've got some big pieces of furniture in there that we can't move until we paint the den. Things are crazy around the house.

Kayla's birthday party turned out to be a huge success! The kids and adults had a great time. I didn't have to do much but play with the kids and talk with all the parents. That is how kids parties should be.

I'm sure something else will throw a wrench into the mix. I just have to take one day at a time, one hour at a time, and remember to take lots of deep breaths.
