Long Overdue Update

I miss blogging.  I wish I could say that I am too busy for it,  but that would be a lie.  After I get home from work, make dinner, and take care of LX, I just want to crash on the couch!  I often think "I should be writing," but my DVR/football/Breaking Bad calls my name.  But today I am here!

What is new with us?

LX started day care when I went back to work last month.  It was a tough transition for all of us, but we are finally into a new routine that seems to work for all of us.  I am home with him today because he had a high fever last night, and he is congested.  Since starting day care, we have been to the pediatrician no less than 5 times.  Gotta love other people's germs.

Work is going really well!  It is great to be back even though I am absolutely crazy busy while I am there.  My students this year are pretty great overall, and that is more than half of the battle.  School has changed quite a bit in the face of the new CCLS, but I am trying my best  to adapt with it while still keeping me in my instruction.

Our fall SAT classes were a success!  Dave has really done a great job teaching, and I worked to market the course.  While it was a smaller class than we had in the spring, it was definitely worth the effort.

I celebrated my 32nd birthday last month also.  Dave and I had a nice dinner out at One Caroline while my parents watched LX.  It is hard to believe that I am this old, but I am happy and healthy so I cannot ask for more!

Thanks for reading, and I will try to write again soon!
