We're here, I promise!

Chris and I are around and very well at this point... just super busy! :)

After missing one week of school, I have had to play catch-up. It has been stressful for a variety of reasons. At school, you cannot change due dates or slow down your work to catch up. It just keeps on going. This nine weeks, we are starting with a very complicated essay, and it has been stressful on the students and on the teachers. Persuasive writing is the hardest type, and that is what we are starting with! I had to re-plan and start from scratch this week, and I hope to see a breakthrough coming real soon. I am also in charge of redelivering and teaching teachers a SENTEO reomote assessment product and Differentiated Instruction, and, of course, SENTEO decided not to work for just 7th grade...

I have had a lot of hugs, thoughts, and support from that wonderful school, though, and I am so thankful to be a part of the MCMS family. We are the best!

Chris missed a whole week when his work does not have a bereavement policy for in-laws. Whoops! The good news is that his boss is super understanding and told Chris that if it was his wife, he wouldn't have even bothered calling in!

On top of this catching up and making up for missed time, we found a house to rent. So, in our spare (not free!) time, we are cleaning up and packing up here, and cleaning up the fixing up the new house we are moving to in three weeks (first weekend of October). We are really excited because it is a nice house in a nice area, and we have been looking for it for a long time.

I just wanted to post so everyone knew we were alive and well...

I need to grade some papers now and continue in my game of catch up!
