I have set my timer for five minutes. I am going to type as fast as I can to give you a quick report of our family's lives. Here we go:
1) I have been student teaching for three weeks. It is not at all what I expected it to be. I don't want to bore anyone with the details. I think one word sums it up nicely: Politics!
I have not dealt with politics in a long time. I kind of forgot they existed. I kind of assumed that everyone was nice and wanted everyone else to succeed. And I'm kind of finding out that my sunny outlook on life is not realistic. Bummer!
2) Dropping my children off at a daycare has been one of the most emotionally challenging things I have ever done. Hearing my baby Jim crying for me and knowing that I have to walk away and go to work was SO hard! By the time I got out the door I was crying too.
After three weeks he is not crying as I leave him. But he does start crying tears of relief every time I pick him up, which is almost as bad as him crying when I left. I mean, crying tears of relief kind of leads me to believe that he wasn't sure I would BE returning to pick him up. And that is a heart-wrenching thing to think.
3) Hubby started a new job three weeks ago. He says that he is alright, it's just a major learning curve. He also said that maybe I could start using our real names and tell you what his real job is, since he needs clients and all...
Except my timer just went off!!
Sorry!!!

My sunbeams used to cry the whole two hours I had them. . . but now they like me! Not that these two experiences are even remotely serious, but I just want you to know that I would take baby Jim every day if I lived near you. . . and that would be your only option because I like them all so much.
The education system is an interesting thing in this country. I am so excited for you though. Just remember to have fun.
